Attack not assault.
I just feel they should have tried doing suicide mission like the one above, they would have more impact than the missions the SIIIs did.[/quote]
IMO they would have better spent their resources upgrading all their ships PoA style, and deployed the SIIIs to defend beseiged colonies.
With this they could have mounted a full-scale campaign against the Covenant instead of the isolated skirmishes that were fought.
Not only were the UNSC constantly taken by surprise but they lacked proper fleets as they couldn't predict where the next target would be.
So yes I partly agree with you, I just don't think suicide missions and attempts to wipe out huge numbers of covenant at once are the way to fight them.
The UNSC really didn't have the resources to do that since they were still young space wise.
Had the covenant attacked 100-200 years later it would have been slightly different.
70+ MJOLNIR
150+ Frigates
50+ Cruisers
12+ Carriers
000's support ships
Millions of soldiers
hundreds of colonies
This is evidence to support the UNSC had a massive resource pool.
Cortana estimates that PoA = 3-4 Cruisers. Therfore a smaller yet more effective Navy would have been much better at waging a war, and defending the colonies, given different tactics than the Navy as it exists in universe.
Not to mention wet navies that are not used to potential at all, Nuclear, biological and chemical warfare conventions that dont apply to aliens and other "cheats" that could be used in a war.
In fact, I am going to research this in depth and see if I can come up with a viable strategy.
Seeing that you are probably going to prove everything I just said false, I would appreciate your thoughts.
in all fairness spartans aren't really useful in space so we can take them off.
Yes a halcyon class vessel is more effective than most classes btu they are slow,huge targets, and cost alot to make hence me saying the UNSC didn't have the resources.
Not to mention even if they did how many would they have? 25-50 maybe 100? to be honest bigger isn't better in space unless you got shields, some damn strong alloy, or you can take ships out before they can even scan you.
