-At the start of ONI SWORD base, you fly over the courtyard in a pair of Falcons, both of which are armed with cannons that are likely equipped with 20mm HEDP ammunition. Yet the pilots decide not to use these, and instead just drop off two SPARTANS. Who, for some bizarre reason, are killed incredibly easily.
Yeah, falcons should have used cannons while flying by. But, they had to take rest of the NOBLE somewhere, so they couldn't stay. Also there could have been grunt with fuel rod gun.Really? All it should have taken was 2 or 3 bursts each, then drop them off. 6 bursts of 20mm high explosives should have been more than enough to turn ALL the Covies in the courtyard into nothing more than purple-spattered mulch.
-At the end of the level, a pair of 64m long starfighter single ships designed to harass enemy Capital ships with 120mm guns, 'heavy' missiles and a 110mm gatling gun have to have a single Phantom and a half-dozen Banshees shot down before they can chase away a Covenant Corvette, despite the fact that the Corvette would have been so much more dangerous, armed with its own AA system.
Yeah, that's weird. (But I make your post go away by noting that longswords aren't 64 meters long)lolno
They ARE 64m long.
-In Tip Of The Spear, I have no idea why the Longsword bombers couldn't simply fly in behind the first AA gun, they would have been screaming low over a cliff that the gun could not have fired over.
Not sure what you mean, (sori, mai enklish is veri päd) But the AA gun was firing "high-velocity plasma shells", So they probably could have shot down longsword that was flying away from them, if you mean that.They fired very inaccurate 3-round bursts with a long and visible charge time between. A Longsword could have made evasive manoeuvres, even if flying straight down a 'Tyrant's' barrel. What I'm suggesting is they fly over the hills behind the gun - it won't see them coming, nor would it be able to hit them if it did see them.
-In Pillar of Autumn, neither Keyes' Pelican nor its escort Pelican stand by with their 70mm fully-automatic chin guns to stem an infantry assault, and also have to wait for said infantry assault to have been quelled before coming in, despite being clad in heavy armour and armed with said heavy chin gun.
Well they aren't indestructible (Remember what happened to the escort Pelican) and there could have been grunt with fuel rod gun. Also, they were carrying PoA's captain. (Who shouldn't have been there in the first place, I'll give you that)Modern air support platforms (the Apache gunship, for one) is capable of standing off at around 2km in the air, and can still provide relatively accurate fire support with a 30mm gun. The Pelican is equipped with a 70mm gun, and could easily have stood off at 2km or much further, fully out of range of Covenant infantry fire.
-PoA also refuses to activate its AA system of 40 guns, each with a calibre of 50mm, to destroy the incoming Banshees and Phantoms, which would have allowed 6 to focus on the Covenant CCS Battlecruiser - if PoA had activated this crucial system (as without it, it was basically defenceless), then both Emile and 6 would have lived, at least much longer than they did.
Well, you can see PoA firing at the ground forces in the distance, and Emile was shooting stuff down. And later, you don't want to accidentally shhot down your captain and they guy who's trying to save you. (Some of the Phantoms are in between PoA and the Mass driver, so it's 50% gameplay and 50 % common sense)At what point does PoA ever fire? Besides, the AA suite was being run by Cortana. She can quite easily identify between a Pelican and a Banshee or Phantom.Posted by: the n00b pwner
3. If 21st century humanity can make something near invisible to radio waves, I think the covenant can do the same with infrared.You can make something as radar invisible as you like, thermal emissions cannot be hidden, unless you aren't moving and have your life support fully shut down.
