Mantis Fighter

[War Priest]

Coolest unit yet! Glad I am Russia! :D

Will be picking up 2 or 3.

[War Priest]

By the way girls, you finally got your wish and have a female unit. :p

[Copenhagen]

New LE? Don't have it yet.

[:marine:]

Is it loot? If it is where is it?

[War Priest]

New limited edition unit. 980 gold.

[Sepi]

Good distraction there Counterspy with your Matrix/The Baroness-look, but that Mantis Fighter sure is quite sexy aeroplane... ;)

[Luke7676]

That mantis is pretty decent. Looks like a F-22. Cool paint job haha. Man is it just me or does the counterspy look like someone we know from funzio? ;) honestly though it does kinda resemble her as far as hair and face. That suit is just crazy Lolz.

Would look better if the wheels weren't extended.

[Luke7676]

Guess its tring to show it as a take off? From the bottom and all.

Why is it so expensive? I expect a unit be above 900 gold when it's attack and defense adds up more than 500. Funzio has increased the price. I am not buying this unit.

[Mcdoc]

Coolest unit yet! Glad I am Russia! :DWill be picking up 2 or 3.I'll get one - and then regret later that I didn't get 3 :)

[EatSleepFly]

Unpainted F-22? And why is it at such a weird AOA? Yeah, pretty sweet though.

[:marine:]

I like new LE units, I'm thinking about buying some gold for the flame tank. Is it worth it?

That isn't a limited edition unit.

That is about right in price. It is the most powerful LE yet. They keep increasing the attack points almost ever week. So here soon if they keep it up they should be in the 400's.

2 Blackbirds. Wanted more Green Dragonfires, but only one Mantis?

If any LEs get to the 400 mark all free players might as well pack up and say goodbye you would need around 90+ aircraft carries for 1 of them.

Haha

I actually think they will. Will probably take a few months but should be up to 350 real soon.

[Mad]

Well I expect that is what they ultimately want. At this point free players just cost them money re band width. But if you are unwilling to spend hundreds of dollars on this game, you would be crazy to spen $50 on gold because you would simply be flushing it down the drain. But most small gold players don't realize that because they are not on this forum and have not seen the reality that awaits them as they level up.

[Sia]

The good point on these high end units is hat even if one loses battle against a non all gold player he still can inflict high rated casualties. I see that during my raids that the type of unit and how powerful they are plays a big role. Attacking such player and losing units despite a win will make you think twice on next attack despite your win.

I don't buy low end units anymore specially the ridiculously priced crates because a the end they re no better than my cash units on defining the outcome a confrontation.

Again this mantis fighter is the only one Russia can buy but it is overpriced. They took out Blackhawks and replaced it with satellite killer so we are forced to buy these overpriced units if we follow the above strategy.

[Mikohoang]

Mantis Fighter - LE Unit - A317/D151 - 980 Golds
Sea Destroyer - LE Unit - A300/D212 - 975 Golds

I would buy Sea Destroyer if possible :(

[manbeast]

mantis fighter looks retarded and is way overpriced imo

[War Priest]

Why do you feel it looks retarded?

[manbeast]

Why do you feel it looks retarded?

it just doesn't fit in.

every single unit in the entire game ever, faces to the right and is viewed slightly from the top.

mantis fighter is totally different. more of an action shot. i dont like how it doesnt fit in. and "mantis fighter"? wtf is that? googled it and theres nothing but an old video game w/ a space ship.

[Aidan]

@manbeast kung funda?? Please tell me you've watched that movie

[mickymacirl]

I notice that the Job Funzio had for an game artist has been filled, i guess those units are the first items this artist has done!

Mantis comes from the paintjob. Green and black. It doesn't have to be a real life unit. Most of the units are fake anyways.

I actually love the action look. Just wish the wheels weren't extended. It looks like it is turning around for another bombing. :p

[marebear]

By the way girls, you finally got your wish and have a female unit. :pI know!!! She is a hottie too! And I love her name. Bet Kitty buys a few of those :)

[War Priest]

I have 5 days to decide if I want to get more or not... I am still stuck on weather or not I should change my gold strategy.

[Copenhagen]

@WP - here's an alternative gold strategy. Forget about discipline and impulse buy.

You've seen my inventory, right? Not saying it's good example to follow, just an option.

I will go take another look. But describe how you buy.

[Copenhagen]

See new cool unit - buy it
See new crates - buy it
See gold reserve - spend it
See rival with close A/D - buy units
See good value unit - buy it
See didn't get all crate rares - buy more
See Gold reserve empty - fill it
See iTunes statement - shred it!
