Its a level 8 vehicle and it gets destroyed too easy. (including Helios)
why does it take two powered up plasma rifle shots to destroy it? (voids tear most likely)
why is it harder to destroy a Banshee Ultra thats a level 7 req?
I’ve taken it down easily and I’ve been taken down easy. For a legendary vehicle its pretty bad also when you have the certification for it and you never get them when opening gold packs.
Its weapons absolutely destroy though. I’ve seen some people use them for ages because they use the dodge ability.
Phaetons are more of I guess support is the word? You don’t fly strident over the action you gotta attack from a distance.

Pretty much nailed it! And its fire power is just absurd.

I doubt you got taken down by only 2 voids tear shots. There was probably BR/DMR shooting at you or something else that you didn’t notice
It’s not that the phaeton is under powered, its just the weak spot for the phaeton is on the bottom. One needs to know ho to use it correctly. The void tear has increased attraction, which will disable your vehicle and allow people to team-shoot you. The Ultra Banshee has more maneuverability and can hit you from multiple directions. Ultimately, you need to be aware of your surroundings.
Vehicles have their own sort of skill curve in a sense. For the Phaeton, that’s just the trade off of the guns being so powerful. Kinda like how in older Halos, sprinting around corners was a risk you had to take for either maneuvering or getting punished by the enemy for your gun being down.
Make use of your evasive skills predominantly and get in your shots as much as you can in between. At least that’s how I play it. 
only got the req recently though!
Phaetons are most effective as a support vehicle. Don’t rush, hang back and pick off weakend enemies. The Phaeton imo is a great vehicle and isn’t too difficult to get 10+ kills with it per use.
Tip: Stay close to your captured bases and don’t advance forward unless the area is safe.
The problem that I have is - how legendary rear is.I need to bay more than 20 gold packs, to receive only one Phaeton.
And survive for 20 kills with him. But I need 50 kills to complete 5 level Commendations
I only use a Phaeton if there’s additional air support. If I see an enemy Phaeton, then it’s usually at the top of my priority list, so I’m sure that other players have a similar mentality.
It’s a glass cannon. Treat it like one.

That’s what I do, and last me most of the match or until round ends.
I’ve never used one myself in Warzone, but I’ve seen enough skilled people with who survived till the end of the match and were a huge pain to the other team.

It is basically a glass cannon. If you can get to cover it can survive for a while and blast everything apart.

This, exactly. I’ve seen videos of people getting unfrigs in Phaetons.

I think maybe the problem is more how op the banshee ultra is and therefore your expectations are a bit warped.
With the amount of firepower it has, it has to have fairly low armour to balance. That said, I definitely don’t think only 2 plasma pistol shots took you down!

Damage can be inconsistent a few times I’ve done a ton of damage with a voids tear I once took down tank master rok with it alone. Or even take hits and barely any damage is done.
Phaetons are fine. If you can’t rain down death and destruction from the sky for long kill streaks with one then that’s on you.
I think a lower tier phaeton would be cool.
Say a wasp like phaetons with just its turret but it has a scoped capabilities for sniping but has the same give away as a binary rifle.
Voids tear is a naughty weapon to be honest. Stick a damage boost on a tear away!
