Zurdo-pattern Wraith: Difference between revisions

Line 55:

The secondary weapon of the Wraith is an automatic [[Plasma Cannon]] (there are two different versions: the manned one in ''[[Halo 3]]'' seen in post-2549 models, and the older one in ''[[Halo 2]]''), which possesses an extremely high rate of fire, and is powerful enough to penetrate the armor of light vehicles. However, although devastating to (and designed to deter) infantry and would-be boarders and barriers, the plasma cannon is ineffective against heavy armor. The plasma cannons in ''Halo 2'' are controlled by the AI, and when the vehicle is controlled by the AI, they do not work for players.

Wraiths possess heavy armor ~~thats~~ nearly two-feet thick, and is made from a type of polymer human scientists have previously thought impossible.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'''</ref> The heavily armored hull and chassis make the Wraith almost entirely immune to small-arms fire. Only heavy weapons, artillery or internal explosions can destroy the vehicle. The pilot is well protected within the hull, and even the weaponry is armored. Typical of assault vehicles, the front armor is capable of taking much heavier punishment than the flanks or rear. This is due to the fact that a Wraith possesses sloped armor on the front, which causes the armor to be much thicker than on the sides. However, even the underbelly of the vehicle is heavily armored to protect the anti-gravity plates underneath the chassis. Before the addition of the plasma cannons Wraiths were particularly vulnerable to infantry, and fast moving vehicles making flanking attempts. Also due to the Wraith's slow speed and lack of a suitable anti-air weapon, they are useless at deterring aerial assaults. The most vulnerable part of the Wraith is its exhaust port located at the back of the vehicle. Just one [[MA5C]] clip fired there can quickly destroy the Wraith.
