Flakpanzer Scorpion
Level 5 Rare
“The prevalence of low-flying ground support aircraft used by Covenant forces has justified the return of antiquated yet proven anti-aircraft methods. Scorpion outfitted with a fast-firing HE flak cannon.”
It has the same armor strength as a normal scorpion, but its speed is upgraded to match the Hannibal. Additionally, its turret rotates slightly faster. The tank cannon is replaced by a 40 mm flak gun that fires about 3 shots per second, and can fire 8 shots before overheating. Each shot has a modest explosion and does around the same damage as a Typhoon’s missile (2 hits to kill Spartan, around 6-7 to wreck a warthog). Travel speed for the shell is the same as the scorpion, but it has a proximity air-burst explosion to make it easier to hit air vehicles.
All-in-all, it would be a UNSC’s AA wraith.
Not exactly silly, considering that the M808B2 Sun Devil is a thing. Two twin-linked 40mm autocannons stuck on a modified M808B Scorpion chassis. Not quite the same as your idea, but I think it’s similar enough.

Yeah, I really wish the Sun Devil could get implemented in Halo 5 in some form. It sounds like it’d be really overpowered, but fun at the same time.
Its not as silly as you think.As mentioned before,an AA version of the scorpion existed during the insurrectionst and the fall of Reach.
It should definitvly make an comebaack one day,but in a game would be kinda tricky due the balancing.
Not silly idea OP like the others said, it’s a good one.
As much as I would like to see a UNSC anti-aircraft vehicle, in a way, we already have one: Oni-Warthog(Normal/Gauss variants).
