Manta information

They've put up some new info on the Mantas, one in particular I found to be quite interesting. I think you'll know which one when you see it. Take a look here:

I can see this feature being very awesome. Though I imagine the Mantas will be relatively unarmed while using the carrying harness, so you'll have to be careful.

A valid tactic could be having two mantas use the harness, making two trips to carry all four Walruses while the other two cover them.

What is the flight speed of an unladen Manta?

If you enlarge the image on the Manta page it shows that the Carriage Hook (presumably used to carry Walruses) is part of the Tertiary Systems. This implies that the Primary and Secondary Systems (primarily weapons) can still be carried while the Walrus is attached.

Unless of course there is a weight limit that prevents this from happening. Perhaps you can include all these but fuel consumption increases the more that is carried, limiting flight time?

Sadly, I have not played the original CC but the functionality of Manta transporting ground vehicles is probably taken from the game Hostile Waters.
