It is a variant of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]] that features a mounted [[M79 rocket launcher|M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System]]{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}<ref name="arsenal">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUY2Ybc4Zdk&hd=1 '''Youtube''': ''Halo: Reach - Implements of War'']</ref> or its [[M80 missile launcher|M80]] successor.{{Ref/Reuse|H5guide}}
| | ==Description== |
| | | The M12R LAAV is one of UNSC's few anti-armor vehicle, designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles such as [[Type-48 Light Assault Gun Carriage|Type-48 LAGC ''"Revenant"'']] and [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Type-32 RAV ''"Ghost"'']]. The Rocket 'Hog is almost exactly the same in every detail to the standard M12 "Warthog" FAV except that it is equipped with a mounted [[M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System|M79 MLRS]] which fires six 65mm rockets per volley every two to three seconds. |
| ==Design details== | |
| The M12R LAAV is designed to quickly and efficiently defeat lightly armored vehicles such as the [[Rizvum-pattern Revenant|Type-48 Revenant]] and the {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}. The M12R LAAV differs from the basic M12 LRV only in its armament, a single M79 Multiple Launch Rocket System which fires six [[Argent V missile|65mm Argent V rockets]] per volley every two to three seconds. The M79 MLRS' rockets are capable of achieving target lock on aircraft, though they cannot lock onto ground vehicles. | |
| | |
| ==Operational history==
| |
| During the UNSC's [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|counterattack]] against the Covenant at [[Szurdok Ridge]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552#August|August 12, 2552]], an M12R was deployed with a single [[UNSC Army|soldier]] mounted on the rocket launcher for use by [[NOBLE Team]]'s [[Catherine-B320]] and [[SPARTAN-B312]] after their [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]] had been destroyed and they had to fend off Covenant infantry and turrets.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| During the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|hostilities]] with the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant]], many of these vehicles participated in the [[Battle of Requiem|battle]] and [[Requiem Campaign|campaign]] fought on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] in [[2557]] and [[2558]], respectively. Several were used by [[Fireteam Crimson]] during their missions, including the clearing of the location known as Quarry and the defense of Cauldron Base.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Spartan Ops]]''</ref>

| ==Variants==
| |
| *'''Corp Rocket Warthog''' - A few credits in the right hands and even a missile platform can be ruled to have a legitimate use by corporate entities. Features extra armor and is used by the [[Liang Dortmund Corporation]].<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>
| |
| *'''Tundra Rocket Warthog''' - A tundra camouflaged variant used by the UNSC. Features better armor than the Corp Hog.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| *'''Urban Rocket Warthog''' - An urban camouflaged variant used by the UNSC. Features better armor than the Corp Hog.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| *'''Woodland Rocket Warthog''' - A woodland camouflaged variant used by the UNSC. Features better armor than the Corp Hog.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| *'''ONI Rocket Warthog''' - ONI Rocket Warthogs use multi-role missiles that can lock on to both ground and air targets. Features better armor than the camouflaged models.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| *'''Vespin Warthog''' - UNSC expeditionary forces allied with [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s [[Swords of Sanghelios]] conduct joint patrols to monitor and defend the [[Sanghelios]] badlands from [[Covenant remnants]] and [[Created]] scouts. Named after a particularly [[Vespin|deadly pseudo-arachnid]] that often lairs in the ancient temple complexes used as staging areas, the Vespin Warthog can deal a deadly defensive sting against any local predator, living or construct. The Vespin M-12 is an improved Warthog with high-acceleration rockets and faster reload time.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-driving-force'''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: Driving Force'']</ref>
