Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Venus

Tactical analysis

 * They won't see me coming: Despite its age, the Mantis is still very effective in its role of destroying tanks with a single, well placed volley. Its pressure powered, AP rounds able to destroy tanks at an incredibly long range and punch through multiple target with little noise, while commander, who doubles as a sniper, help against infantry


 * They will fall: But for the Mantis to use its cannon it must first brace itself, which takes a few seconds, but it can quickly pack up when needing to move


 * They will never find me: The Mantis's illusion generator affords it invisibility. While it can only be used while the Mantis is stationary and not firing, it allows the Mantis to be used as a very effective ambush tool


 * They've found me!: However, unlike other MBTs, the Mantis is poorly armoured and rather slow. It is not meant for direct fighting, and cannot stand up to one. Rely on its invisibility and range to get the drop on enemy tanks before quickly retreating

Trivia

 * The Mantis is based off the m56 scorpion
