A malfunction which would be caused by DAMAGE, aka from enemy fire(Pushing doesn't mean in this case literally pushing it into the dive. Pushing meaning doing enough damage to cause the dive.). Also, as somebody else said, you have two military battleships firing at each other. Their armor is built to withstand those blows so it wouldn't be a 'one shot destroying the entire ship.'
There still is no details on how much power a plasma torpedo delivers, or how strong the Covenant shielding is. (Hence no proof that a plasma torpedo could one-shot an ISD or SSD)
If there were numbers, we could compare them to the stats we have for the Star Wars ships.
Yeah...If the USS Enterprise were to cause the same damage to the Hand, or a UNSC MAC round going clean through the engine room, it'd still fall. There's nothing specifically special about having a Venator do it.
I mean, frankly, do you honestly expect me to believe the explosions and such that were in Episode three were hundreds of times greater in power then THIS???
This is a 50 megaton hydrogen bomb (I think, just typed up Tsar Bomba and got this), this is more along the lines of a Covenant plasma torpedo. I mean, you can understand why I think this could destroy a Star Destroyer, right? The shield thing is debatable, but armor doesn't stand a chance.
And as I have said before, we can gauge the power of varying Covenant weapons by calculating their effectiveness. If you look at Reach, when Sword is getting hit, it looks like nukes are dropping on it. Amongst other calculations, its been determined a Covenant plasma torpedo is in the megatons to maybe terratons when you consider the Assault Carrier in First Strike and whatever ungodly weapons the Supercarrier must have to beat the Assault Carrier.
Only the size of the TSAR?
An ISDII can dish out roughly 740,000,000 megatons per second spread across it's guns.
put another way, that's 50,000,000,000x the power of hiroshima every second.
Proton Torpedoes, Laser Cannons, and Turbolasers would utterly chop the Covenant Super Carriers before they could reach 180,000,000,000km within the ISSDII.
