M12 Chaingun Warthog: Difference between revisions

===Disadvantages===

While fast, the M12 is prone to roll over very easily. It is vital that the driver can get in and out of dangerous situations without flipping the heavy and hard-to-right vehicle. The open nature of the Warthog always puts its driver and passengers at risk as a good marksman can easily take down the driver or passengers of the M12. Although the armor of the M12 is tough, a couple of direct hits from grenades or a well placed rocket will end its reign of terror almost immediately. Covenant energy weapons are the biggest threat to the Warthog; a short burst from a Banshee's light [[Twin Plasma Cannons|plasma cannons]] is deadly. The Hog is also ~~vulerable~~ to Banshee Bombs; a direct hit from a Fuel Rod Gun would damage it and reduce its occupant's shields, making them ~~vulerable~~ to other light projectiles. Infantry plasma weapons can inflict moderate damage, and like all vehicles, a hit from an overcharged [[Plasma Pistol]] will leave it inoperable for a few moments.

Additionally, in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the turret will overheat after extended use, which could be a nuisance when in the middle of a fight.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=25376 Bungie Weekly Update (4/02/10)]</ref>

==Variants==

A number of variants of the Warthog are in service with UNSC forces, including the M831 TT (which eliminates the support weapon in favor of four side-facing passenger seats), the M864 A (with an enclosed passenger compartment and treads in place of wheels), and the M914 RV (equipped with a towing winch and a heavy duty motor and gear system).
