In addition to Nilokeras, I speculate that it could only move in specific directions, otherwise that 'opening' in the 'barrier' would somewhat interfere its movements. So, in overall this Kataphrak has severe limited mobility. On the other hand, I believe that the shockwave will not affect the machine, because the shockwave must pass through a medium (i.e. air), which will not pass through, or should I say, the air will be 'absorbed'. (But this brings confusions what happens to air [O2, N2, CO2 etc.]. Will it be atomized into particels? What happens to all that energy created due to broken bonds? Consevstion of energy?) Anyways, but your are not wrong to say that the bombardment will affect Nilokeras. The impacts of the bombardment will most likely upheavel the ground and flip the machine and will forever remain in the center of the Earth since gravity seems to affect it. EDIT: Oh, the shockwave may affect it a little due to the small gap in the 'barreir' but Nilokeras may just temporarily cover itself with the barrier since it seems to be able to control the cover area that the 'you down below' mentioned about the Sky Carrier.

For Agyre, it seems that it cannot handle continuous rapid fire of AP rounds (or the like). Whenever it was being shot at, it would stop moving and focus on deflecting the bullets (for HE rounds Vlad would just wave the blade using its heat output to deteonate the bullets). In other words, Agyre is weak against multiple opponets using peircing rounds. That's probably why Vlad only moved in between reload times and rate of fire of rifles.

For Hellas, the projectiles also need to cover a certain distance in order to accelerate for greater impact and penetratrion power, e.g., Newton's 2nd Law of Motion (F=m*a). This implies that one needs just enough firepower in order to not only change their flight path due to consevation of momentum and the explosion of HE rounds but also to interfere the projectile's acceleration: the sooner the better.

For others, I have no clue, whatsoever. Haha.

Though some of these details was not mentioned in the anime, this was just some things that I observed.
