The two side-mounted seats on either side of the turret housing increases the vehicles deadliness. If the passengers are armed with powerful explosive weaponry, such as a [[Fuel Rod Cannon]] or [[Rocket Launcher]], the Prowler can effectively take out large armored vehicles such as [[M808B Scorpion MBT|Scorpion]] or [[Wraith]] tanks. If the passengers decide to use automatic weapons such as a [[Plasma Rifle]], they can complement the plasma turret and make for an extremely effective weapons platform for cutting down infantry and suppressing light vehicles. It is also effective if passengers are armed with [[Type-52 Pistol|Maulers]] or [[Shotgun|Shotguns]], as they can shoot any enemy that gets close to the prowler. | The two side-mounted seats on either side of the turret housing increases the vehicles deadliness.

Unlike the [[Warthog]] and the older [[Spectre]], the gunner is not standing up in the turret, but is sitting, or standing, in a cavity in the center of the vehicle. The gunner's cavity covers their lower bodies, leaving only their upper back and head exposed. The gun is also in a more central location than the other two vehicles, giving them even more protection. The driver also receives protection from being the rear, with the entire bulk of the Prowler in front of him. Though, unlike many other Covenant vehicles the prowler lacks a boost function, it is still fairly fast. | Unlike the [[Warthog]] and the older [[Spectre]], the gunner is not standing up in the turret, but is sitting, or standing, in a cavity in the center of the vehicle.

A key advantage of the Prowler is its stability: one can throw it almost recklessly over jumps and cliffs that would be unsafe, unfeasible, or downright stupid in a Warthog or Spectre. This is mostly due to the "sleds" on the underside of the vehicle. When airborne, the two sleds will extend outward to either side, widening the surface area of the bottom of the vehicle, and therefore making it more likely that it will land in the proper position when it hits the ground. The sleds also seem to allow the Prowler a limited "glide" when making large jumps. | A key advantage of the Prowler is its stability: one can throw it almost recklessly over jumps and cliffs that would be unsafe, unfeasible, or downright stupid in a Warthog or Spectre.
