The Type-52 troop carrier, or the "Phantom" is the dedicated troop transport and gunship. It has more armour plating and superior firepower compared to the Spirit. It can fit about 30 passengers and carry a variety vehicles. It is also flown by a single pilot.

What do you like about this vehicle my fellow Floodians?

There is a certain point of tolerance that should never be reached.

I actually like the type 25 better.

Not only does the thing look more alien (I mean, have you EVER seen another aircraft that looks like that?), it's single cannon is less punishing to entrenched infantry.

Ever been on the receiving end of a Phantom Gunship disgorging it's troops?

The god damn mud was boiling for 2 hours.

The Phantom is a big step up from the Tuning Fork. Absolutely genius.

I actually liked the design of the spirit, too bad everything about it is completely impractical.

Spirit can't fire its' weapon when deploying troops.

It's in service to an Alien union that has mastered anti gravity.

Even if Aerodynamics came into play it's not like it would fall out of the sky because of it.

Once it touched down it ceased fire.

The Game

Sure, the Phantom is cool but why the hell is this a thread?

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

The gun would be useless that close to the ground anyway. The slightest small rise would put the enemy in defilade against it.

That can't be.

I've take fire from that gun while on approach to it.
The only thing it can't do is spray you accurately from altitude.

You know. Since it's on the ground.

Not to mention you run the risk of melting it.

The ceasefire is so brief.

Yep so superior to the spirit - which is invincibile.

It was the best in Halo 3.

The concussion rifle shots it fires in Reach and Halo 4 is just annoying as hell while it was op in Halo 2.

No it wasn't in Halo 2 you could soak up the bullets from that thing and your shield would barely react.

One does not simply stop playing Minecraft! Or Fallout!

Now I want to play the mission in Reach where you can fly the Phantom :( (I lost my Reach a good while ago, and I miss it sometimes. Sometimes.)
