Mantis
Are we ever going to see a 2 range anti air nod unit like the mantis?

A laser lock stinger Mantis. Could be cool. Still would be worse then the GDI counterpart because it can hover.

Maybe the mantis could be a 2 tile anti-air with the capacity to hit up to 3 tiles if the enemy air unit tried to run away whilst the mantis is starting to lock on from 2 tiles away. Its lock on ability should be 2 tiles, but its missiles can travel 4 tiles if the lock on was successful.

Haha, or give him same rockets as a bike (but air only), those boys can travel after the enemy units forever. Imagine a full barrage of rockets traveling after an enemy Orca who's trying to fly away.

Why not both? Missiles with the ability to lock on with a laser. Seems weird right? There is this game that has characters that's are 1st person/3rd person shooter and is called Sonic Adventure 2, those characters has a lock on ability that tags the enemy and several seconds later, energy missiles are shot. The same thing can be applied to both attack bikes and mantis so their attacks will first lock on to the target as the missile is prepared, then the missile will chase after the target endlessly until it hits the target. Also Nod sam sites in the 3rd tiberium wars use a tiberium energy missile that would have locked on to their targets.
