Everyone loves a little C-RAM right? And everyone loves FLAK, why not combine the two as a new enemy and friendly unit, AAA2, would show up on the RWR as A2, and would be a higher threat than normal artillery, shorter range, lower RPM, but far deadlier within that range, meant for Munition interception.

Meet the NBS Mantis, firing at a staggering 1000 rounds per minute, of 35x228mm rounds, munitions open by proximity to target to maximize damage to target and chance of hitting, will effectively act as FLAK due to its fragmentation, shorter range due to focus on Munition interception over aircraft interception, You can outrange this, and outmanoeuvre it just like the normal CIWS and CRAM, but every once in a while you might not be able to, or you reacted too late and half your plane is filled with holes.

Does slightly less direct damage to pieces, but does more damage across the aircraft itself. (More damage overall than on one specific piece.)

(taking 1-5 hits is fine, anything more and you'll begin taking serious damage, it has much higher accuracy and a much higher chance to actually hit you than normal AAA)

-# also it just sounds amazing

-# did look for Dupes for anything similar to this, closest was a suggestion for FLAK, this isn't FLAK, this is a new CRAM unit

*IRL this thing can also do optical guidance, which I feel would be a little unfair in this game as this is a giant gun shooting big boy rounds that turn planes into scrap metal

*would probably also be the scariest sounding anti air unit to be fired upon if youre close enough to hear it
