Author Interesting trick with Wraith tank

On the mission where you have to escort the scarab in a banshee,
instead of flying to the main entrance, I landed and took command of a
wraith tank, drove under water and got to the island with the main
entrance. I then tested to see how steep of a wall the tank could
climb and damn if it didn't do a 70-75 degree climb!! Same when I
hopped out and attempted to climb it with the Elite. Anyone else
notice this.

Sounds interesting, so I will try that method too.

Could you really get all the way up to the entrance port? -I mean the port,
that is blown open by the shot from the scarab.

I agree about this:

* Driving under water!
* Getting up on the island!
* Up at about 75 degree!

I didn't get to the entrance port, but i guess that this should also be
possibles.

Funny to notice, that these Wraith vehicles can drive under water without
problems....

All the Covenant vehicles are watertight, so there's no need to worry about
engine flooding or anything.

Huh? Try flying a Banshee underwater and see how far you get.

Both Banshees and Wraiths are hover crafts. I don't think that the Banshee
is heavy enough to get down under the water. But the Wraith tank is, and
please test it yourself, because it is quite surprising!

I see I wasn't clear. If you fly a Banshee into the water, you will die.

Then it apparently differs through the game. I flew one into the water
that is immediately ahead as you come out of the door to meet Sgt.
Johnson in the Scarab, and I died.

My most entertaining suicide so far has been tossing a plasma grenade
high, running forward, and having it land on me. Of course, I was trying
to, so it may not count.
