5 chaingunners couldn't trigger a mancubus's pain-chance consistently enough to keep his attack suppressed?

Sure they could. But if the Mancubus got even one attack sequence through they'd be toast anyway. The painchance stuff is randomized so it it is impossible to suppress attacking totally unless you set the pain chance to 255 as in 'always go into the pain sequence'.

Try scattering the chaingunners so they can't hit each other or be taken out by a single volley of fireballs. That way you could be down to even 2 chaingunners and still kill the mancubus.

You know, it's funny. When you pit monster AI against monster AI you get what is probably a more accurate depiction of the scenario. IRL a marine wouldn't be able to circle strafe around those fireballs, and it might actually take a few guys to actually suppress what equates to a walking flesh-tank.

If it is a cutscene kind of scenario where the player watches, but has no chance to actually become part of the fight, why not cheat and simply kill the mancubus by a script when a suitable period of time has elapsed?

or reduce the mancubi's health by a lot
