I can't tell you how many times I've stuck a warthog that just ends up bouncing around and kills me (when I stick it). I get sooo mad if a warthog ends up totally owning my team because they don't know what to do. Idk I jus think that if a sticky kills a ghost or a banchee right away it should do the same against a warthog. Opinions?
Sticking a ghost or banshee works because it kills the driver. Vehicle health in Halo is determined on two parts: the health of the driver, and the overall vehicle health. The overall health really only comes into play when the vehicle is sitting unused, so you can discount it. To sticky a warthog, stick the driver.
Also, please note that you can kill the driver with a stick on the left side of the warthog, the passenger on the right and the gunner anywhere on the back. 3 real parts to get a full kill: Health of driver, Health of Vehicle, placement of Grenade. My advice: Jump.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my post (sorry bout that). I understand why it doesn't always kill, I just think it should or at least more frequently. I'm not questioning why, I'm wondering what people think, should it kill or should it not?
I think it would be kind of a buzz kill if Warthogs were always killed when stuck. I prefer the damage system as it is. And seeing how most matches play out, they're often damaged enough that getting stuck will destroy them.

No, not really... I say that it should depend on the damage it took. That's why I think it makes sense if vehicle had a health bar.
The one thing that I have noticed throughout my experience of halo 3 is that when you stick the driver of the warthog, everyone in the warthog ends up dying. I do not know how that is so, but It seems to always work. Sometimes, when I stick the guy in the turret, he dies, but the passenger and the driver seem to survive, but with no shields. I personally do not think one sticky should blow up a warthog, however I would like to see frag grenades to cause more damage. Also, I do not know for sure, but if you stick any part of a mongoose with two people (A driver and a passenger ) do both people end up dying. Like does it matter where you stick the mongoose?
You're just sticking it wrong.The warthog is a huge vehicle and the best the UNSC has to offer. You'll find warthogs on any battle field becasue they're tough and fast (considering they're carrying up to 3 half ton soldiers and a machine gun with infinite ammo) it would be ridiculous if they could be killed by grenades designed to take out infantry! Spike grenades are different, they're better against vehicles once stuck because there's the explosion (like a plasma grenade) followed by spikes prenetrating the engine, where as the plasma grneade will only damage the surface. Best technique for destroying (you can't "kill" a vehicle) a warthog is probably to run in front of it, jump before they can splatter you can chuck the sticky down on to the top. Or aim for the wheels, that'll cause it to flip over.
Wrong. The way it works is that if you have a passenger, they take the damage first, then the driver, then the gunner.
Warthogs usually blow up from a stick when they are stuck near the front or on the wheels. Even if it doesn't kill them, it can flip them and usually makes them panic. It also usually kills either the gunner or the driver, and anyone who is remaining usually has no shields.
Well that's not right either. There isn't a formula for who dies first, it's whoever gets shot, blown up, or hurt in some other way.
