Subject: Taking down a Phantom in Firefight

I was just wondering if it was possible or if anyone has taken down a Covenant drop ship during firefight.
I imagine it would be possible with four people armed with rockets and a ton of grenades or everyone in Choppers on Lost Platoon.
Does anyone know?
Have you done it? -What's your story?

You can do it campaign so I am guessing you can do it in firefight.

No reason why not right.

In fact its one of my biggest kicks in campaign.

You'd probably get loads of points for it as well if you got it while all the troops are in it.

Never tried it myself but if you wanted to do it try using a bunch of wraiths in lost platoon.

But it is possible to destroy a phantom in firefight... - Link to game stats if you don't believe me

Here's a list of some players who have destroyed a phantom in Firefight

My story: a phantom wouldn't leave during the last wave in the round, and there was likely an enemy that hadn't dropped yet, so we couldn't continue with the mission. We spammed the engines with fuel rods and eventually, we destroyed the phantom (I was credited with the kill, as you can see in the screenshot and game stats I linked).

Under normal circumstances, a phantom is too hard to kill because it drops off the Covenant troops, and then leaves after a few seconds. It took us nearly 5 minutes to down the phantom - normally a phantom wouldn't wait that long in the playable area.

I guess its not invincible, Bungie must of just reinforced it with a bucket load of health. Like you said though its not destroyable under normal circumstances.

What a hipster.

I have not been able to take out a phantom but I do believe it is possible.
