M12C4 Warthog Assassin Rapid Assault Vehicle

"It needs less maintenance? Sounds like I am out of a job."

- SPARTAN-013

The Warthog Assassin RAV is a specially modified Warthog, in use with the SPARTAN-IVs, it used a modified chassis and equipment layout. The roll cage was removed, as was the windscreen, with the passenger side seat gaining a AIE HMG on a curved bar, so it could face targets ahead and to the side, with the seat removed and replaced with a slightly raised, motorised swizelling seat that could follow the gun movements. The suspension was lowered and the vehicle lengthened slightly with any non essential parts removed or replaced with lighter parts. Outboard equipment racks were added for carrying extra loads during deep penetration missions. The millimeter wave RADAR was removed and the LIDAR system kept in place while smoke dischargers and a M980 WAO/AM laser were added for much needed point defence. In places its armour has been upgraded or supplemented with bolt on titanium, none or semi explosive reactive armour or ceramic plates or anti ordnance fencing. It is also reknowned for making use of active camo plates, which are stored on the vehicle then adhered when it is parked to make it seem less visisble when stationary, as a method of hiding them.
