M12 Chaingun Warthog: Difference between revisions

The gunner stands in the '''Warthog''''s turret and mans the heavy weapon mounted there, whether it be an [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun]], [[M68 Gauss Cannon]], or [[102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret|Rocket Turret]] ([[Halo PC]] only). He is responsible for defending the driver and passenger of the Hog from incoming enemy fire. So as to not interrupt his line of fire, his heavy weapon is mounted on a 360-degree hydraulic-powered swivel-mount that is not affected by any erratic movement on the driver's part. The M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun is very effective against aircraft such as banshees and is also excellent at neutralizing infantry, while the M68 Gauss Cannon and the 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret excel in the anti-vehicle role, though the Rocket turret fires faster and less accurately than the Gauss cannon. The gunner is also the most exposed person on the Warthog, and therefore usually the one to take the most damage.
