    Full support for the US military to move to vehicles that look like they should be ridden by TMNT action figures from circa 1991

        I mean, it makes sense as a video game vehicle balanced for the Halo sandbox but I still love how brazenly impractical it is.

        In the Halo universe, a troop transport is when you can have two guys perilously hang off the sides of your single-occupant vehicle while holding guns https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6d/6f/c2/6d6fc27a1fbfc2f6414196cbe4b1965d.jpg

          Oh buddy I used to be a pretty lethal Banshee pilot and didn't do too bad in the Hornet, yeah it's fine for the game. 👍

          Also we can't go without pointing out that if the Hornet hovers for very long it's probably going to burn the passengers with the exhaust.
