Template:Ratings Template:Ship The M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle (abbreviated M12A1 LAAV), more commonly known as the Rocket Warthog, is a United Nations Space Command ground vehicle.
Introduction
It is an exceptional variant of the Warthog series of vehicle, but is by far the least customary. It holds a tri-barreled rocket turret on the back replacing the LAAG gun. It is seen only in Halo PC. Its position as the UNSC LAAV is usurped by the far more universal M12G1 Warthog LAAV in Halo 2.
Description
The M12A1 Warthog is exactly the same as the standard M12 Warthog LRV, except for two differences:
1. It has yellow paint stripes lined through the base, to distinguish it from the standard M12 Warthog. It's also painted black.
2. It is armed with a 102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret 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.
Trivia
- It is said that Chief Petty Officer Mendez has the M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle or Rocket Launcher as his custom-made and trademark Warthog transport.
- Firing the turret rapidly will significantly decrease the accuracy.
