I got the notification for this video and had to a double take because I thought it said racism tier list for a second

I find it funny how you said that the mammoth basically is too big to go anywhere irl because whenever modders try to use it in custom multiplayer maps we are like “oh yeah, this thing is way too big.” I still want one irl tho lol

I think the mantis was the unsc's attempt at answering the wide tread problem of the scorpion in the silliest way they could

TBF, there's a scientist in Halo 4 that mentions how the mantis is used as a mech loader when not equipped for combat. I think most people agree that while mechs aren't the best for combat, they are pretty handy for logistics work.

You forgot some big thing about the Pelican It can carry not only 10 Troops But a Warthog or even a Scorpion.

Actually for a space craft you want extra drag for re-entry. I've always been under the assumption that's the only real purpose of the wings on the pelican and the reason the saber has the extra wings. These are vehicles designed mainly for space travel and re-entry. In space aero basically doesn't matter at all and in re-entry the more drag the better. It's why all craft we have for re-entry go to the flatter side when re-entering as it slows the craft down faster and in the thinner atmosphere so it heats up less.

Saber was also meant for space/high orbit superiority only. They were launched from the ground via **Rockets** Wing tip thrusters were primarily meant as afterburners, which while A certain liability, cutting the afterburner and compensating with power shifts to individual primary engines to start course correction. Along with the fact that they more than likely have secondary maneuvering emergency 'thrusters' much like we see in other sci-fi for finer maneuvering and also in Halo itself for direct evasive maneuvers on the lateral and horizontal axis. So In either case, for modern military integration it shouldn't be on the list as we have Zero applicability for the craft. Even for the Long Sword it's only half applicable because while it can provide ground strikes, CAS/atmospheric air superiority was primarily meant to be from properly outfitted pelicans and Army/air force Short Sword fighter craft.

The only reason I could think of why the Mammoth is so big is that its meant to be a mobile fortress where troops can resupply and vehicles can get repairs while being on the battlefield, or it was the only vehicle design that could carry that large ass mac gun. Either way, I think 343 was just trying to make a UNSC version of the scarab and it ended up looking very impractical.

Fun thing about the Warthog, is that there is actually some lunatic out there who made a functional full-scale replica of exactly that. So, obviously then, the warthog would be S tier in Realism, because someone already made it IRL.

I would say the Hornet is more like a Littlebird than an Apache. The Sparrowhawk is more equivalent to the heavy attack chopper.

I love the falcon, but do you think its capacity is a bit low (3 passengers, 2 gunners) or maybe since those were spartans it could fit in more marines if optimized for that

13:26 Also in Halo reach: A bunch of warthogs just go straight to covenants

The Sabres in Reach are YSS but the ones in Infinite are FSS, Y means prototype, indicating that a role for it wasn't already agreed upon or its intended role was hidden? Like how the FP-45 Liberator was called Flare Pistol in order to make its true purpose unknown. SS could mean Space Ship.

The fact that the Wasp is a light reconnaissance vehicle gave me a cool idea to make it unique in a sandbox where the Hornet and the Falcon are also present. The Wasp could have the special ability to highlight all enemies in a certain area around it (maybe all enemies appearing onscreen, idk) or some other feature that provided info to the rest of the team, making it more than just another aircraft that can hover and shoot. This would allow it to have a special place in the sandbox and leave the role of small attack vehicle to the Hornet

Thee Mantis may be in F tier, but I still love it and want it in Halo Infinite

Mechs wouldn't be good for warfare but they would be quite useful for tasks that require so many different specialized equipment. The farming industry, having to move giant blocks of hay by using a crane, then putting it on a truck. Moving shipping containers. Girders for building construction... all that could be done by a mech. We wouldn't need to make so many different machines, we could just make mechs.

elephant and mammoth are classed as mobile bases, mammoths being the local primary forward ops and the elephant as a basic forward op for recon troops in situations that a permanent base is either wholly unnecessary or otherwise denied. The wasp is a strike craft meant for hit and run sorties and recon. The D in D-77 stands for drop ship as that is what the pelican is and more accurately the designation of the unsc pelican is the drop ship type 77 troop transport or D-77 pelican TT for short. The sabre is an experimental craft and the thruster at the wings are afterburners not legit thrusters. Longswords are strike/bomber craft, broadswords are effectively just anti fighter/boarding craft. Scorpion tanks have been proven to be a reliable anti everything that isn't bigger than a fighter and is within 2 km of atmosphere.

The thing you're missing about the Scorpion that makes it look so unrealistic is that it's built for interstellar ground engagements. The planets it's being deployed to aren't all Earth-like environments, and when gravity is low, you need more mass to maintain grip, and more treads means more mass. But when gravity gets especially low you need to be able to apply differential pressure across your chassis. In the case of Mars rovers you'll notice the hydraulics are very robust and capable of pressing the rover's weight on any one wheel or combination of wheels. The Scorpion is capable of pressing its "foot" down where necessary to gain traction, and lift where necessary to balance the vehicle. So while it appears that the 4 tread design is overdesigned, that's because it's designed for many unique alien environments. The turret being so high makes it look like the tail of a scorpion and makes it go boom boom, so it's pretty cool when it shooty shoots. Kidding, of course. I'm sure there's some kind of sci-fi explanation for the turret considering the people that designed it originally, such as keeping it above water on alien swamp worlds, or maybe something more specific. But I'm sure Jason Jones or someone had at least a half baked explanation even if it's something that could be picked apart in review.

Great video! Keep up the good work! By the way it's stated in the 112th page of the Essential Visual Guide that the GA-TL1 designation is inspired by the Longsword's designers' names, which are Gov Aukland and Thomas Levesque.

This was a very enjoyable video! I liked the recap on most of your breakdowns. Well done.

The scorpion when it comes to width is really not that much wider than modern tanks when you look at size comparisons based on human scaling. Remember that modern takes requite 3-5 man crews in the turret alone. Also out all the games the Scorpion is the worst to drive in infinate because of how they altered the controls for movement.

The issue with the falcon in the real world is the location of the propellers make it a hazard for the crew resulting in constantly down forces on those on the sides and making it incredibly hazardous to bail or parachute from. We see these exact issues with the osprey. Yes it can carry a single vehicle and people can jump from it, but they have to jump from it in motion and from the rear like a plane, not like a copter as the downforces can throw people into a spin or screw with their parachute if it opens early.

Thanks for the shoutout chief, just that i was never in the military. I appreciate that it looks that way tho

15:22 i think the falcon is more like the little bird, for small insertions but can also be used as an attack aircraft

the Warthogs definitely deserved an S+ rank, considering that several people have actually made their own Warthogs in real life.

fantastic video, i think when you’re making comparisons having a picture showing what your explaining would be a great touch

Elon himself said that the Cybertruck was deliberately designed to look like a low-poly version of the Warthog, as he is a fan of the Halo series.

The elephant is not so much as a recovery vehicle then a mobile vommand center. In halo wars 1, thr elephant would function as a base that you could move around.

Hey bro I saw your vid was sponsored. Before I clicked I wasn’t sure if it was Halo or not (not in title, thumbnail was small). Glad I did. Subbed. Keen to see more videos!!

2 things 16:08 in that specific mission I've found that crouching with the mantis has actually helped me. Maybe if the mantis had smaller auxiliary legs with its main legs to crawl faster and then stood up when it needed to fire above cover it would be better? For the warthog and the others in the big 3, in lore they're hydrogen powered and those containers hold water so it's a great behind enemy lines vehicle with refuel being so simple

Woah, thanks for the mention! I really appreciate it, my guy

You should rank and review UNSC Halo weapons on realism!

Funny to see this after watching the video another channel did making their own unsc strike force. They hated the warthog and razer back because they weren’t fully armored around the crew positions

Lmao this was such a great watch all the way through. I’m glad your insightful and logical when talking about these sci-fi vehicles. Please continue to do this.

Great video! You are so knowledgeable and entertaining to listen to. You are also doing a great thing by helping lift up other content creators.

Bro the mammoth was like the only effective weapon against scarabs

I watch a LOT of youtube and listen to a lot while working, across a very wide range of subjects and Ive gotta say this is the coolest channel out there! I can't wait till the next time I can sit down and watch a bunch of the latest vids back to back to back ❤

thanks for sharing other small Halo creators!!

This is the first Video i watched from you ,12 Minutes in and i all ready love it. I enjoy the use of the correct terminology and that you clearly are in the Armed Forced or work as a civilian contractor . good video man

This video is top notch, as I appreciate the realism of the vehicles, and I agree with pretty much all of this. Thanks as well for the shoutout, you did not have to do that at all and I appreciate it! Subbed for more, keep it up!

Hey Cabezon! I love your content. Especially the immersive storyteller videos you did for the flood and covenant on modern-day earth. I also really love Halo, but I hope we can see you do content on other franchises too someday.

The thing with the elephant is that it's a mobile command post, it deploys with turrets and has a few command stations and communications center, it's deployed on worlds, it can move, and its a connecting point from the ground and orbit where you ant build a solid command post quickly. Same with the mammoth, just scaled up with the infinity. With the scorpion, I think the quad treads is for mobility in hazardous environments, the front and back can move independently over obstacles, but that's just my standpoint. I love your review and this is in no way negative towards your opinion, just my 2 cents

great video! would be cool if you covered the other unsc vehicles too!!!

Don't even get me started on the 90mm cannon for the Scorpion...

Your Videos and Marks deserve so much more than you get, love the content!

I forgot halo did a mech, been hyped for armored core 6

Awesome video man!

In the setting with more planets we do not have built and a mapped out I guess a portable mamoth sized vehicle that can store smaller vehicles and research facilities on it for exploration and unexpected combat scenarios would make more sense

Amazing video! Another sub from me. Now can you make another reality test on the UNSC's? infantry weapons?

The Wasp was originally introduced in Halo 5, where it had an energy shield, which made it much more durable and suited for an actual fight. However, 343 removed that in Halo Infinite

21:08 Im pretty sure the Pelican is called the D-77 because the "D" stands for Dropship as its primary role in UNSC service is ferrying troops and cargo between the surface and ships in orbit, etc. So It would make a little more sense to call it the DC-77 and DA-77 for Dropship Cargo, and Dropship Attack respectively.

Dear Cabezon, I just wish to say that enjoyed the video, and I hope that 343 will see this one day and see it as constructive criticism. However, I wish to clarify why the Pelican is classified as the D-77 Pelican Troop Transport. The D stands for Drop ship, and that’s exactly what the Pelican is designed to do, load a few squads into the troop bay, take those troops from the main ship down to the planet’s surface, drop the units off planet side, return to the main ship, and repeat. Also, a little bit of fun Trivia about the YSS-1000 Sabre, there was actually a competitor to this craft for the next Exoatmospheric Strike Fighter called the S-930 Pegasus, made by SinoViet Heavy Machinery, there were nine combat ready prototypes ready for the Battle of Tribute in 2552. Hope you have a splendid day.

Finally finished your video (4 days later) and I got to the Saber part. The Saber is a space fighter, not an aircraft. It doesn't have a tail fin stabilizer because it's not meant for in-atmosphere combat. Its top (fins) are likely artificial gravity field emitters for stability, and the bi-wing design is also likely involved in this kind of concept. Notice there are no flaps for steering. This is likely because it's using the multiple engines, sure, but also because it uses gravity fields for maneuvers. This is why the Banshee also has the bi-wing like design. The rods are part of a full ship artificial gravity control system. This is also why they weren't afraid to lose their thrusters at the tips of the wings. The speed will surely take a hit as the gravity fields will have a tough time compensating for the off-kilter thrust, sure. But it won't send the thing spinning. Anyway, the wings are also important for radial thermal radiation. Vehicles in the vacuum of space get hot fast, and you need to focus the heat into fins and wings to let it radiate out as light because there are little to no gasses surrounding the vehicle to absorb any heat. The double wing lets liquid cooling systems flow through the outer engines and then back to a central control system in a way that's slightly more efficient as it allows for heat radiation on multiple wing panels and directions. Anyway, the main issue with these is that you're putting them into modern Earth environments and not accounting for the very realistically considered future environments design mentality. That being said, these wings aren't large enough to serve as proper thermal controls, and they definitely designed it to maintain a "cool jet" factor visually even as they gave a nod to the hard sci-fi concepts that Joseph Staten and the old guard Bungie crew were known to enjoy.

It makes you think for airborne vehicles such has the Falcon if the Bungie and 343 developers knew real aerospace engineers bc the falcon legit looked like a feasible vehicle in todays time yet it looked just a tad bit futuristic back in 2010

I would love to see also you ranking the vehicle in Halo Wars as well because there are more UNSC vehicles that never really showed up in a mainline game

16:30 the us army has little prototype mechs used for lifting cargo

The reason the Sabre has the four numbers is for the name tags, S117 etc, it’s so that it pops up in coop as your teammate.

I think a tierlist for covenant vehicles would be a great idea next!

6:57 Crushed Volkswagen: *Help me*

The Wasp is analogous to the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior. Low intensity scout primarily but capable of providing some air support in a pinch. It did become obsolete as the Apache Longbow provided better sensors on a more capable platform.

sweet vid wish you included the F-99 drone from ODST very cool and realistic looking

The main problem I have with the unsc vehicles are the exsposed turrets. Yes, I know the abrams have a exsposed turret, but it still has an internal 50 cal protecting the gunner. The scorpion has non of that. The warthog offers absalutely no protection witch means a single competent person with a rifle can take it out, not even factoring in what a single rpg round will do to it. A damm suburban SUV has more protection than a worthog.

I think that the Mantis would be SUPER good if it had a few alterations that made it a specialized vehicle: specifically, a mobile AA platform that can clear the skies, and move its location to get away from danger, though it can target enemies on the ground to defend itself, in order to do so, it needs to significantly lower the power of its weapons in order to avoid harming itself or its allies.

we actually have aircraft with a similar mission set to the wasp currently, it's called the Sky Warden, it's a slightly unarmored crop-duster with various weapons mounted to them.

I think the scorpion isnt realistic for us on earth but i imagine for planets like mars etc the scorpion could actually prove to be quite useful. The pelican again likely has its advantages in foreign environments. Large transport and cargo capacity. The variable thrusters are very useful for space flight which the pelican certainly does quite a lot of. For the elephant, I would say the Halo Wars elephant would be superior to the halo 3 one. The elephant to my knowledge serves essentially as a mobile command centre. Its not a frontline unit but if a mobile FOB is needed it could probably fill that role, carrying supplies, a couple of mongeese or a warthog. Looking at the warthog being for special forces stuff, look at the British Jackal wheeled vehicle and those similar to it. Lightweight, can carry a lot of gear and can be pretty fast. The sabre and broadsword cant necessarily be considered for realism concerns because they are both space combat vehicles. We dont necessarily know how soace combat will be conducted etc. I know we have neutonian physics and "realistic" stuff like the BSG Viper or the Starfury from B5. Then again the viper has 30mm coilguns and the starfury has pulse cannons and a nuclear reactor for a power plant

This is a long but genuine defense of the pelican, including real-world examples. However, i am not an expert, but I believe i dont need to be if 343 doesn't have any on their teams. I believe the way in which pelican is used provides far more utility than is considered. You yourself mention "hollow belly" helicopters, which we do see the pelicans being used for, carrying heavy equipment from scorpions to slipspace engines (elephant sized highly volotile and radioactive blackhole generators) but more than that there is a real world very similar analog in the us military today, and thats the king stalion. Said king stalion has a massive size, slower speed, propeller based, and is also a cargo carrier with similar use cases. I belive the shortcomings cited are also outweighed realistically by its ability to land with minamal air disturbance, to carry cargo close to its body (heavily increasing its operating range and scenarios)unlike helos, and surface to space capabilities that honestly put into question the need for odst pods with what we see in halo 3, and its ability to quickly deploy equipment and troops like we see in halo 2. Yes it has half the troop capacity of a king stalion but doesnt need harnesses rated for re-entry. As an example of the pelicans superiority despite similar size the king stallion cant carry an abrams, its crew, a support team, deploy them in an urban environment under fire by a technologically superior force in under 5 minutes, and provide air support with nose and door mounted miniguns as well as rocket salvos. The bungee's pelican do all that with a better crash to survival rate than any helicopter in any video game series. Look at foehammer she lasted the whole game, even doing tight manuvers underground and only died at the very end, and every other time, we saw a pelican crash, at least some of the troops servive. heck, johnson survives at least 3 uninjured and hapily hops in another 30 minutes later each time.

On the Mammoth, you're forgetting that we have Airless tires. It's entirely possible that we've discovered the peak of this tech by the 26th century...

When you said you were going to base score on IF we could make it today I didn't hear anything about practically.

Also those track pods are q smart design if 1 track is disabled the tank can still move. Also with pelicans u can easily pick up a scorpion. Detach the disabled pod and swap it out. And boom tanks back at full strength. Same with its turrets just pop one off slap a new one on. It's a modular design. With a hard to hit profile.

Now we need this for the covenant vehicules

I think what so realistic about the warthog is that it combines technology from a developed country with concepts from something that armies in third world counties do. With many armored cars coming from professional armies like the United States, the spot where a machine gun and the gunner are at is protected with armor to reduce exposure to fire. With the warthog, its turret placement and design are inspired by what fighters in the Middle East or Central Africa do, that being strapping on heavy machine guns to their Toyotas, that kind of think you can see in like Lord of War or something.

You better build a pelican one day cause my god i love it.

The Worthog family. That always reminds me of the Australian SASR (Special Air Service Regiment)/Commando teams LRPV (Long Range Patrol Vehicles). Small lightly armoured, sits the driver, gunner and vehicle/patrol commander, and at a pinch 3 more, can have guns (main gun/passenger gun) or no guns. Comes in a variety of different types and has different types of main gun. Excellent vehicles

Minor disagreement about the Falcon, it's a great aircraft but it doesn't make very good use of it's footprint. The narrow front doesn't offer really offer any advantages beside a smaller profile from the front. If the front were wider it could have a co-pilot to do other tasks or take over in an emergency. If it were able to be equipped with side doors it could also be a little more versatile

Now that the Viper Stealth Tank has finally dropped with the rest of the Digsite content, I'd love to see it covered since it has a lot of the features the Scorpion lacks

Only issue I have with this list is the Longsword. They have it labelled as an interceptor/strike fighter, but in reality it should be classified as a heavy bomber, both because of the armaments and the fact that it's absolutely *HUGE.* It's bigger than all but the largest Boeing 747 by a decent margin.

Imo razorback may pass as an S tier cause it's just a cargo carrier. But the warthog? The doorless, unarmoured, "I'm right here" elevated gunner position? Helllllll no!

Thing about the Sabre - it was designed for space superiority. Having more drag is a nonfactor in vacuum, and actually beneficial for reentry. As for the wingtip engines, again, the rules of atmospheric flight do not apply. In space if you lose a wingtip like that it's going to throw your center of mass off anyways, meaning you better have a way of counteracting that in a zero gee or microgravity environment. And if you have that counter measure already? Adding engines further away from the centerline only becomes a net benefit, adding the ability to execute sharper turns and add faster acceleration, things you want in a nimble interceptor. If an engine becomes inoperable you just turn the opposite one off and engage the countermeasure already in place to compensate for your off centered mass. There are definitely some issues with the Sabre's design but a lot of that comes from designing a craft for primarily space superiority while still requiring it to at least be capable of operating in atmosphere.

I started thinking of what would be a semi-realistic heavy drop ship for colonization efforts, made basic designs for it. Coincidentally, I watched a video about the Spirit of Fire about 2 days later, and facepalmed after what I had made looked very roughly like the D20 Heron. And the auxiliary craft I thought up looked like a fatter D96-TCE Albatross. I don't even play or watch much Halo content, I haven't played a halo since June 2020 on the MCC. But Halo wars was always my favorite Halo game since it was an RTS, and on a console too. It was the most modern RTS I had ever played when it came out, my main games on pc were AoE2, Star Wars EaW, and LoTR BfME. It wasn't my first Halo, that was Reach, but it's always had a special place for me. As for video comments, I've always felt that Halo was the most realistic sci-fi universe out there. Everything has a significantly more grounded feeling than say, Star Wars. Things just make sense. Things like the mantis would make more sense in the future for a military, you've got dozens of very urban worlds with massive cities on them. The biggest problem mechs always have is ground pressure, but a mix of future lightweight materials and power generation, combined with having massive areas that are paved urban/suburban zones means a mech would be better than a tank. It really depends on how big the mech is, but most of the more realistic mechs, like the ones from Avatar, could easily fit down a NYC alley way where something else wouldn't fit. I also have to agree with the statement on Bungie always giving random acronyms, but I love their nickname schemes. All of the classes of aircraft are related in their name, all except for the hornet and the wasp, because Halo Wars also has the sparrowhawk. Most of helicopter/VTOL craft get bird names, pelican, falcon, my previously mentioned heron and albatross. But all the jet fighter types are named after swords types. Longsword, broadsword, baselard, saber, and the nandao.

Lol 4:40 scorpion in an urban environment is a level in ODST

The hornet is more like a little bird with guns.

So god help me, I will make an entire video series just bashing on the primary UNSC vehicles, I am so tired of these schmucks saying that the scorpion can "Beat the M1 abrams in CQC"

With the mantis I agree it makes more sense as a loading/forklift type machine than one that nearly constantly hit by small fire and explosives

a team of spartans in a UA hilux would be a menace

Warthog would be a deathtrap in an urban environment

I get why you put the wasp in C tier as a attack craft, honestly I never thought of it like that, even in the world of halo I had heard in books and KZfaqrs that it was meant to be a low maintenance vehicle that could be used to attack things if need be but was just meant to be there for recon or if nothing better was there and a need needed to be fulfilled. I think as what I’ve heard of it is what it really is, so I’m my heart and my lost it’s higher cus it’s being used like it should from what I know.

As much as I love the Scorpion, my own experience garnered in my time in the army with maintainers and with tankers, the Scoepion lands solidly in F-tier. Having a driver also be the gunner is terrible, while your FTP who mans thr LMG out front is completely exposed. The quadtracks is a logistics nightmare. The more you look at the Scorpion the worse it gets. 😅

I mean the sabre doesn’t have to worry to much about drag as it’s in space, aka very little air to resist

I think the elephant and mammoth should be more of a mobile command center type vehicle but still a poor machine

One think id line to point out as a huge flaw in the scorpions design is the barrel depression. This would hender its ability to fight hull down on hills.

I always thought the Elephant was a research/mobile base for study of the Forerunner ruins on Sandtrap. The guns are just a backup/bonus- you never know if something may want to attack you.

I think of the mantis as an advanced forklift that they designed weapons for in the rare situations where you would be attacked in one

The high profile turret from the scorpion makes sense since with a improvement in sensors visibility will not be the only thing that matters... also the high profile means that the tank can fire while having its crew protected behind obstacles

Weird thing about the scorpion that I don’t think many people realise is that it would be godly for going hull down, the turret, in spite of its position high up, is a very small target compared to most current day tank turrets relative to its hull, likelihood is that when going hull down (as in keeping the hull behind cover like a ridge or ruins in an urban environment) it would be difficult to hit

There’s actually a Stealth Viper tank that 343 canonized from cut content from Halo CE. It has modern Tank treds, explosive shells, and a lower profile.

Videos like this remind me why Halo is the goat of sci-fi military shooters. So much thought was put into it's society and thinking that it really does look more believable than Star Trek.

Elephants and Mammoths also served (Well Mammoths primarily served) as mobile bases. Elephants kinda suffered from being able to decently do a bit of everything and not being even remotely optimized for anything. Combat? They could fit a lot of guns on one and it is very heavily armored, but it's big, slow, and the guns aren't good for anything tougher than a lightly armored vehicle. Vehicle recovery? If the Elephant could hook onto it then it could tow it, and it could even carry repair technicians out with it if all they needed to do was drag a vehicle out of a ditch and do some minor repairs, but once again he a _big_ boy. Mobile base? One wasn't going to be taken out by a few rockets, could carry a decent amount of men, could be equipped with most instruments field command would need to communicate and coordinate with the higherups for any given mission, and could carry plenty of weapons and supplies for the troops, but it is big and slow though. The common trend is that in any given role it was about as unsubtle as you can get without being a Mammoth and wasn't outrunning anything not on feet. Mammoths do two things, mobile base and killing big things that can't run away or hide. They largely do not care about terrain so long as it can fit on flat enough ground to function without sinking. Rocky terrain? Drive over it. Dense vegetation? Drive over it. Rivers and swamps? Drive over it. Heavy enemy fire and fortification? Drive through it. It takes steep mountains, deep waters, huge sand dunes, or wide canyons to stop a Mammoth, and it tends to make up for the fact that it can't always get to the blow it the hell up objective by being able to reach out over the horizon and blow it the hell up anyway. Changing a tire is definitely a certified bitch, but good luck making one need to. Mammoths are less ground combat vehicles and more small ground based carrier ships with one big fuck you cannon and a few embarked vehicles and a lot of marines. They're a seige platform.

i think it’s also important to mention that if the kodiak has an auto loader than it underperforms modern artillery. say the bandkanon 1c has a large tracked body with a 155 millimeter cannon and can fire every 3 seconds.

One extra detail about the USNC is that they don't carry and deliver vehicles in full. They actually carry them all in parts so that they can be delivered and built at location in short time.

we need more Longsword in Halo
