Template:Ratings Template:Ship The M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle[1], abbreviated as M12A1 LAAV and commonly referred to as the Rocket Warthog, is a UNSC ground vehicle.
Description
The M12A1 Warthog is exactly the same as the standard M12 Warthog LRV, except for a few differences:
- It has yellow paint stripes lined through the base, to distinguish it from the standard M12 Warthog. It is also painted black, different from the normal color of a normal Warthog, which is a metallic olive. The seats are also yellow.
- It is armed with a 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret[1] on the back seat. The turret can shoot three surface-to-surface rockets before reloading, but like all projectile weapons, it must be reloaded when the magazine capacity is depleted. The reloading time takes about four seconds, similar to the reload time of a Scorpion in Halo: Combat Evolved.
- The tires are a darker color than those of the standard Warthog.
Appearances
In the E3 2000 Halo: Combat Evolved trailer, the featured Warthog sported a cannon that fired missiles like the M12A1 cannon, but looked like Halo 2's M12G1 LAAV Warthog gauss cannon.
The M12A1 LAAV makes its first gameplay appearance in Halo PC's multiplayer maps. Technical details of the vehicle were later expanded in Halo Encyclopedia.
Trivia
- Chief Petty Officer Mendez has his custom-made and trademark Warthog transport similar to the M12A1, although Mendez's Warthog had a rack of Argent V Missiles.
- Firing the turret rapidly will significantly decrease the accuracy so it isn't reccomended to fire full auto
- A new version of the M12A1 is to feature in Halo: Reach.[2] The turret design appears to have changed, and appears more suited to an anti-aircraft role.
