I needed an alliance tank for the spot missions, and the American lights weren't doing it for me, so I thought I would ignore the rest and just hang around in a bush doing missions with the British lights.
Lo and behold, it has the highest DPG of any of my tier 10 lights besides the EBR (have all of them except the WZ), and after 110 games it has the highest WR of any if my lights (hovering around 60%)
Sure the two man crew is dumb, and running out of shells shouldn't be a thing, but the small size and the placement of the gun let's the Manticore pull of some very funny plays.
The only thing really holding it back is it's complete lack of ability to duel EBRs. I'm confident my WR would be 3-5% higher if the wheelie boys would bugger off.
Anyway, I had good times in the British lights, and once the crew rebalance arrives at least one of the Manticores issues will get solved.
Don't believe the hype! Manticore for lyfe!
