You're forgetting that Rhinos didn't destroy the shield, it overloaded them, so comparing them with Grizzlies just doesn't work

I am nobody. Nobody is perfect. Therefore I am perfect.

i think rhinos are the strongest attack wise, but their armour is pretty weak.

The elephants from halo wars should get an honourable mention though because they have 3 M41 LAAG automated machine gun turrets on the sides, a large two barrelled M247 GPMGT Auto cannon on top, ceramic armour and two engines.

But you're also forgetting it's the only plasma based Zeus 320mm Cannon. It'd vaporize an Abrams in a single shot.

Rhinos? Grizzlies?

I'd probably have to say that Rhinos are probably the best tanks in the UNSC when it comes to fire power, since they were used to crack a Covenant energy shield. There isn't much ground ordinance within the UNSC that can do that, to my knowledge.


I was just about to ask why no one has mentioned Rhinos yet.

Face palm, you guys seem not to realize that the Rhino isn't suosed to be used as a tank, but as long range mobile artillery.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

Maybe due to the fact that Rhinos are not tanks, but rather heavy mobile artillery?

Are Wars' vehicles even canon?

Some of those designs are ludicrous.


Yes they are but only as prototypes exclusive to their makers... they are not common place.

Yes. Although only a few made it past that event such as the Hawk for example. The Hawk was mass produced for the Operation: TREBUCHET but after the war with the Covenant begun, they stopped production due to high production value and begun mass producing Hornets.

Source? I don't remember that ever being said, I thought they were Ander's pet project.

The visual guide, here is exactly what it says

"Developed during the early years of the Human-Covenant War, it first saw action on Harvest during the end months of the Harvest Campaign. Although the Hawk was in wide production during the first decade of the war, problems with its ducted fan propulsion system limited the craft's deployment later on in the war."

The Hornet thing is obvious.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Perhaps it's the Rhino or the Grizzly?

According to that, it's an Artillery TANK so, does that count?
