I could waffle on but I’m going to cut to the chase.
Gauss/ Rocket hogs are utter garbage. With how exposed the gunners are, the slow rate of fire and the mobility of the Spartans your trying to shoot the former is barely passable at taking out a marauding banshee, but the latter is just utter garbage.
Now unless they delete them from halo (bravo plz) we’re stuck with 12 of these things in the REQ system, and they’re all ranked Ultra Rare - Legendary. Compare them to the other vehicles of that rarity and they’re like a stick to an energy sword. Not only that they cost as much too, with an ONI rocket hog (Which literally does nothing extra) costing the same as an ONI scorpion, Banshee ultra, and Hannibal Mantis. Balanced.
Basically if your going to keep these god awful warthogs in with they’re 12 blooming variants then lower the rarity (or just fiddle numbers behind the scenes to make them less rare) Nothing is more annoying than knowing that you “Urban Rocket Hog” could have been a phaeton.

Their rarity is fine, but their req level can use a definite drop. Make it like level 4 to be on par with the ghost ultra. That way they would be usable and the rarity will keep it from being too predominant.
Reduce the rarity. Always pisses me off when I use an Ultra Rare Random Vehicle hoping for something I can do well with, only to get a Gauss or Rocket Hog with no teammates around.
The REQ level really needs to be lowerd because a Tank is always better.

Only if going head to head. But as far as the ability to get kills? Standard Gauss is equal to, or better than, standard tank IMO. They are two wildly different animals though (e.g. a tank is WAAAAAY more vulnerable to smart infantry than the Gauss hog).
I think the Gauss is good where it is. A good driver plus a good gunner is damn near unstoppable. If the level was lowered then nothing else on the battlefield would be able to compete at the same level!
The rocket, on the other hand, could drop to a level 5. It beats a ghost ultra (though not by much) and has a 1-hit kill ability, but it takes an intelligent and patient driver and a ton of skill to gun well. I love the glass cannon that it is, but at level 6 I can always find something better to use.
Reduce the rarity and make it level 4 or 5 I agree
Gauss hog is one of best vehicles in the game. Leave them right where they are.
i would like the req level altered a bit though.
Rocket hogs at level 5
Oni rocket hogs level 6
gauss left right where they are.

Sorry no, you do know how easy it is to 4-5 shot the guy on the turret, that means that unless he kills me with his first shot he is dead, heaven forbid theres more than one person though.
I can’t count on my fingers how many times I’ve seen a gauss hog tear up my team because its 0.
I don’t know where you warthog fetishists are from but in halo 5 they’re all pretty garbage, only the ONI normal one is half decent as it can do consistent good hitscan damage.
Yeah honestly why use them when you can use even a staandard scorpion for he same req level and its way more common

Or a banshee, an vehicle which is borderline OP in this game
