Phoenix Logs/UNSC Units/Hornet


 * Fast. nimble, multi-role attack VTOL.


 * Hornets are fast-attack aerial gunships used for combat reconnaissance and
 * lightning strikes against high-priority targets. They are armed with rotary
 * autocannons that are effective against all targets and can be upgraded with
 * Marine Wingmen carrying rocket launchers.


 * Air operation directors from the Spirit of Fire are fond of the AV-14B Hornet's
 * firepower, but they are also very much aware of the vehicle's relative fragility.
 * Marine pilots often mitigate this issue by operating in Hornet "wolfpack" kill
 * teams to overwhelm air defenses and destroy their targets before retaliatory
 * fire can do much damage. Commanders are advised to wait for the SPNKR-
 * armed wingmen and personally direct the assault when using Hornet swarms
 * against heavily defended facilities.
