I don't want inaho to get a martian kataphrakt. The action scenes are more exciting when the underdog wins. This emphasises the arrogance and the defeat of the martian knights. (this probably won't apply to Slaine though)

Another thing, every time a martian knight appears a whole platoon of areion decide that it would be a good idea to fight the martian kataphrakt without testing/observing the abilities on the enemy. (ofc, they just well don't do anything and get killed)

EDIT: Don't give the bullshit about soldiers being scared... because then why didn't the recruits get scared????

1. Nikokeras - Fire clips of ap/he rounds at it and a grenade. They see it's not doing anything yet they don't even move away from it until the last moment (but still get hit by the hands of Nikokeras)

2. Argyre - 1st encounter. They don't change their type of rounds even after seeing that it's not hitting the mecha. And they don't even try to distance themselves away from the melee argyre.

2nd encounter. this one less critical of this encounter since they were on a ship and less room to maneuver. However, not once did they attempt to use grenade launchers (who cares about damage to the ship... it's still gonna get wrecked if you don't defeat the martian knight)

3. Hellas - yo... move? I know it's a flying fists but it's not as maneuverable as a missiles since missiles have fins on the end of it.

4. Dioscuria - Ditto as Nikokeras.... Can't they see their bullets are not doing anything?

5. Elysium - They have data on it..... WTF. "saps the molecular kinetic energy of all matter within 1km radius". And they still go into its field.
