The SP42 Main Battle Tank, AKA, the Cobra was a vehicle from Halo Wars 1 that fulfilled a similar role as the Kodiak. A vehicle that when deployed as a stationary gun showed to be most effective.
But what if the Cobra was modified in the twenty-five-some years aboard the UNSC Spirit of Fire?
What if instead of it being a Railgun weapon, instead the Cobra was made into a multi-weapons platform?
Instead of the Cobra, we would have the …
… BLACK MAMBA
The Black Mamba would have a simple modification when compared to the standard Cobra. When nearby a base with a Garage structure, players can modify the main gun on the vehicle.
The vehicle’s main gun would match that of the standard Base Defense Turret when first spawned at default.
But the turret could be upgraded to be that of the Anti-Infantry Gatlings, Anti-Vehicle Rail Guns, and Anti-Aircraft SAM Launchers.
This versatility would allow for the Black Mamba to be a highly reliable vehicle, essentially being a replacer for the Warthog, Kodiak, and Wolverine to some extent; while possibly not taking up as much population as these vehicles in question.
This post was mostly a “what if” hypothetical idea, inspired from the fact that the Kodiak and Siege Turret share the same gun; so why not do the same with a vehicle sharing the same ordinance as the Base Defense Turrets?
There are too many elements that only exist in the original HALOWARS
They have hopes of reappearing in DLC and sequels,
It would be nice to appear purely in FPS HALO.
I like the world view of HALO, so
A world expanded by HALO WARS
Any story other than Master Chief feels fun.
It’s a bit of a shame that the WARS vehicle, the Grizzly, didn’t appear in Infinite.
It’s so strong it’s refreshing. The Scorpion breaks relatively quickly in Infinite, so I shoot it little by little from a distance lol
On the contrary, if there is a large-scale expansion of HALO WARS 2, I definitely want Gangus.
In the setting used by the traitor Spartan to Banished,
Its attack power and cost are super cheap, but it doesn’t have as much durability as Cannon Fodder, and if it’s turret-enhanced, it’s going to break.
Wouldn’t it be cool to add a Didact that uses Forerunner units?
I’m glad you added Escaram too…he died in Infinite…
Characters who die are hard to love.
It would be fun to have a completely different leader who uses multiple unique units.
It’s fun if you can use a lot of Infinite bosses lol
It would be neat to have more vehicles and weapons added to the main games.
Imagine having the Stanchion Sniper in Infinite’s campaign?
Mastodons, Kodiaks, Rhinos, Grizzlys, Frostravens, Nightingales, Vultures, Bisons, Cobras, Wolverines, Jackrabbits, Sparrowhawks, Shortswords, Condors, Goliaths, and Cyclopses.
Those are just the UNSC vehicles that could’ve been added to mainline Halo.

Question is how many of them are actually still ‘current’ outwith the Spirit of Fire arsenal?
Billions, given that there were billions deployed in Halo Wars 1 multiplayer
