hornet does not require a gunner although the falcon has two. The Falcon also offers more protection to passengers.

In time, the tru7h will be revealed.

depends which falcon. multiplayer hornet vs falcon, hornet all the way. single player falcon with the grenade launcher on it and when the pilot actually has a gun, then it would be a good fight.

Well as the Hornet is akin to a Littlebird, as opposed to a dedicated gunship, it would be a close fight. But unless the Falcon has plot shields, the Hornet SHOULD win more than half the time.

Teamwork is essential, it gives the enemy ther people to shoot at

The Hornet is a dedicated VTOL attack craft, so in theory it should be he more powerful machine. Really it comes down to the situation. The Falcon carries an auto-cannon, with the possibility of having 2 HMGs or 2 AGLs, meaning 270 degree point-defense. It can also achieve a greater speed given its propellers combined with thruster-engines. Now, it is a bigger, heavier craft-meaning less maneuverability-and is not committed to attack roles, but rather transport and light fire support. This is not to say it wouldn't give one helluva fight. The Hornet is a dedicated attack aircraft. Its smaller frame and 2 thrusters mean for nimble moving, able to set up position in the Falcon's blind spot. Its 2 repeating HMGs and rocket pods are meant to take bigger foes out, and its two side passenger running boards could mean for heavy trooper fire support. Really it all comes down to situation.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

Heres your situation:

There is a fully dledge honet (Not my favourite transport hornet) with to guys on the side. One has a psrtan laser, the other has a rocket launcher.

The Falcon: It has the same two guns on the side, no front gun, no other passengers. In short, both these vechiles are in the full fledged form of attack you can get in multiplayer. WHo would win.

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

You know this is the universe forum right?

And the guy who said 270 degrees: Falcon can shoot in all directions (360 degrees), if it has MG's or GL's

UNSC Army/Marine Corps aircraft each fill roles similar to those of comparable aircraft in the real-world. The Hornet is most like an AH-64 Apache in that it is a dedicated gunship with emphasis on superior firepower, speed, and maneuverability, whereas the Flacon is a medium-lift utility helicopter similar to the Blackhawk whose onboard weapons are for the pupose of defending the crew during an insertion. The Falcon does differ in that it mounts a 20mm chaingun, but this is mostly for ground targets. The Hornet wins in terms of total attack capabilities here.

I miss the hornet. I think both should be in Reach.

I am alpha, i am omega.

I am the last of the primes.

Little bird= Hornet
Cobra= Hawk
Pavelow/ac-130= Vultre
Black hawk=pelican

I have no idea where the falcon fits in though.

  • 02.21.2011 4:16 AM PDT

The Falcon would win in terms of epicness!

Even though the Huey isn't in service anymore, I'd say that it matches the falcon pretty well. But I think the Blackhawk matches it the best. I think the Chinook or the Osprey are closer to the Pelican, they're bigger troop carriers than the blackhawk.

GO FALCONS!!!

  • 02.21.2011 8:04 AM PDT

well...if the falcon looked like This...then i think the falcon would win....as for how it is now...with some expert flying by the pilot,i think the falcon could still pull it off

  • 02.21.2011 8:22 AM PDT

hornet wins unless the falcon has a nose gun

V-22 Osprey?

So full of hate were our eyes that we could not see. Our war would yield countless dead but never victory. So let us cast arms aside and like discard our wrath. Thou, in faith, will keep us safe whilst we find the path.

IMO even a nose-gun carrying falcon could lose to a hornet, if the range is long enough (and the relative ranges of the guns are right). the Hornet's missiles would be more effective at long range than the guns on the falcon, and the GL is completely ineffective against aircraft, simply because it's a GL.

Little bird = Hornet
Cobra = Hawk
AC-130 Spectre = Vulture
Chinook = Pelican (pelican is vehicle carrier
Blackhawk/Huey (for the oldies) = Falcon
A-10 = Shortsword
F-22 = Sabre
F-14A = Longsword (anti-ship capability)

The Falcon has a front-mounted machine gun, can come equipped with two side-mounted grenade launchers that can launch EMP grenades to disable the hornet along with regular grenades, or will have two side-mounted machine gun turrets. It is also faster at maneuvering, but is slower at gaining height.

The Hornet has a front-mounted machine gun, and rockets that lock on, and is slower at maneuvering, but faster at gaining height.

It's actually a tough choice. Rockets are a very deadly weapon.

EMP grenades are too slow too hit an aircraft.Unless you are lucky that the horney pilot just hovers.

It's just takes one lock on and BOOM falcon is toast.
