Revert; Phantom is an unusable vehicle in the Halo series. Creating such term gives a false implication that you can actually control it.
m (Oh COME on now, we've had enough on halopedia with needless ambiguous terms what tactics, anti-phantom tactics? pro-phantom tactics? you have to break the terms down sometimes which is what i did.) |

The role of the Phantom is to transport squads of Covenant troops and vehicles into a combat zone with speed and efficiency. While the [[Type-25 Troop Carrier|T-25 "Spirit" Troop Carrier]] serves primarily as a dropship, the Phantom, with its heavier armament, also fills the role of a ground support gunship. As their hull is heavily reinforced, Phantoms are invulnerable to small arms fire. The Phantom has three defensive weapons, making it a more challenging adversary than the Spirit. In ''Halo 2'', the Phantom was invincible and could not be destroyed, although its weapons can be taken out, forcing it to retreat. In ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 3: ODST'' and ''Halo: Reach'', the Phantom is destructible. | The role of the Phantom is to transport squads of Covenant troops and vehicles into a combat zone with speed and efficiency.

* Taking down a phantom is tempting to do so in Firefight or Campaign; however, it is unwise to do so if there are phantoms traveling in groups, as they might pin you down with their plasma guns or in the most extreme cases, kill you. | * Taking down a phantom is tempting to do so in Firefight or Campaign; however, it is unwise to do so if there are phantoms traveling in groups, as they might pin you down with their plasma guns or in the most extreme cases, kill you. | ||
