Template:Weapon The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret is only seen on Halo PC.
Introduction
The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret is basically a triple-barreled Rocket Launcher, commonly mounted on the M12A1 Warthog. It gives UNSC personnel a higher degree of anti-armor capacity.
It fires rockets similar to those M19 SSR SPNKr Rocket Launcher. One major difference, however, is that it can fire 3 rockets before each reload cycle. However, unlike the M19 SSR, it does not have a 2x scope, nor is it man-portable.

Description
The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret is painted black in colour, with some sort of motion tracking systems facing the gunner. The 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret also resembles the M41 LAAG to some extent, but it is mounted with a triple-barreled rocket launcher, which seems loaded with a similar system to the M19 SSR.
