Design detailsEdit
- Main article: M12B Warthog
ONI Warthogs are only superficially similar to standard Warthog variants,[1] offering greatly increased armour protection compared to their regular M12B Warthog counterparts, alongside various forms of unique and experimental weaponry. Currently-observed ONI Warthog variants have been seen in Scout, LRV, Gauss and Rocket configurations with the following modifications;
- Light Reconnaissance Vehicle: M343A2 chaingun loaded with High Explosive Dual Purpose ammunition.[2]
- Light Anti-Armor Vehicle: Experimental M70 Gauss cannon tested during the Requiem Campaign designed to produce a lingering area-of-effect damage upon impact.[3] This mechanism remains classified.[4]
- Light Anti-Aircraft Vehicle: M80 missile launcher capable of locking onto ground vehicles alongside aircraft.[5]
ONI Warthogs, like other ONI vehicles, are coated in a jet black paint job.[6][7]
UsageEdit
ONI Warthogs are likely employed by ONI Security forces.
Operational historyEdit
An ONI LRV sporting a Vulcan anti-aircraft gun of unknown model was present at the ONI facility on Carrow.[7]
