Has ANYONE thought of the destructablility of the Banshee? Scorpion? the Shadow? ATV? We've SEEN the Ghost, 'Hog, even the Covie Dropship blown apart...but what of the other vehicles?

* Banshee projections: The canards will most likely fragment, sending the pilot SPIRALING in a flat spin to oblivion. The canopy will blow off completely, leaving the pilot vulnerable to attack. the Fuel Rod launcher barrel will plug up, and if used when damaged, will destroy the frigging thing in mid-air. Flares, Chaffs, whatever, will be usable for SPNKr lock-ons. (BALANCING, here, people.)

* Scorpion Tank: The turret(s) will snap like twigs. Treads will fall off. That damn head-protector-plate thing will blow apart, revealing your upper torso. Umm...treads...willl...snap?...

* Shadow: The pilot's roll cage will splinter. The passenger side will cave in. The turret's hover-thingy will fail, and leave the turret stuck in the bowl-fixture for ever, in the same position as it was when it's hover b/s failed. haha. O yah, and it'll drag it's wings n crap like the Ghost.

* ATV: Fenders - GONE. Tires - GONE. Antenna - GONE. Pilot - TOAST

* Mystery vehicle - Indestructable. HAHA!. i dunno.

Those are my theories. Have at 'em, BOYS!

What I love... Scorpions will be useful! No more will a couple of plasma grenades take you down. Dodge and position yourself against rockets and you'll be bouncing a half dozen or more of them off of your thick armour and... if you can really turn the turret independently of your chassis... then you can present your least damaged side to the enemy, prolonging their suffering.

In Halo 1, you get tagged with a Plasma while in the tank you die. You get hit with a rocket... you die.

The Warthog gets hit with four rockets before it blows up. Only a direct hit on the driver actually kills him. Follow that logic and if I'm right... If you're good, and keep your chasis between you and oncoming attacks you can laugh them off... at least for a while.

(That's why I'm not worried about vehicle tracking rockets. They don't target the driver)

How is it that you will dodge rockets with the tank? Is it faster or something?

I didn't say "dodge". I said keep your chasis between you and incoming fire. Wort was hit with a rocket on his warthog. He just kept on driving. (The second time. The first time was hilarious how he crashed into the ghost and the ghost blew him to smithereens"
