M3451 Advanced Warthog

The M3451 Advanced Warthog is a tougher, stronger, and heavier vehicle meant for battle. The Advanced Warthog plays a big role in the UNSC in Halo: Spartan Squad's time period, fighting alongside it's smaller brother, the M12 Warthog Force Application Vehicle that has served the UNSC for years.

History
The M12 Warthog, which was the backbone of the UNSC, was an easy target to the Covenant, as the seats were open, allowing an easy shot at the pilot and passenger, and the Warthog itself didn't have a strong enough armor. The UNSC required a tougher vehicle to back up the M12 and advance into heavy battle. Plans for a stronger, larger enclosed Warthog were approved and the prototype was successful. The M3451 went into production and performed better than the UNSC ever expected.
