From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
< Phoenix Logs | UNSC Units
- 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.
