The main issue isn't about the fact that Manta HoS gets better armor, imo, but that the cape doesn't really communicate that it's armor. I also disagree with the assertion that "They spawn with it on instead of armor, therefore, its obviously meant to take the place of armor." - one could just as well argue that it's a unique map spawn on a map that has its own unique aesthetics (see also: Communication Officer in place of Radio Show Host), and that as such it doesn't necessarily need to be armor, especially since you can just replace it with armor from a locker. Rather, that it could be an aesthetic tradeoff.
