Earth was invaded with less than 50?What the hell? Why are people still spouting out this blatant lie?!
30 covenant ships survived the battle of Earth. Hundreds were destroyed. Can be please stop with this bull-blam!-?
I see the evidence otherwise.
Regrets fleet consisted of 15 ships, those being 2 Assault Carriers and 13 CCS Battlecruisers.
Truth's fleet consisted of 12 ships that were build following the destruction of the Unyielding Hierophant.
The Fleet of Furious Redemption consisted of what? 27 ships?
In Total, that's around 45 ships.
I see no support to your claim of the invasion fleet consisting of hundreds of ships, please show me your source.The first Covenant ships arrived on October 20th. On November 3rd, the covenant was still engaging multiple UNSC fleets in orbit [GoO page 205], and on November 8 [BWU] the UNSC was still fighting in orbit and had firepower to spare [H2 ending]. This means that Truth's ships were able to engage the entire might of Earth's defenses for 3 weeks.
And in the end of this battle, Truth's 30 remaining ships dominated the Earth. They could freely bomb the planet and land anywhere they wanted. The UNSC fleet was "smashed" and reduced to a "handful", to the point where deploying 3 frigates was considered a "big risk" [Crow's Nest opening].
And when it comes to fleets, Truth had not only the fleet of Furious Redemption at his disposal, but the fleets of Profound Composure, Tranquil Composure, and Inner Knowledge as well.[HW timeline] If we estimate each fleet's size to be a modest 100 ships (considering the smallest concrete number we have is 315), we'll have 400 ships attacking Earth - a number that fits the facts.
Damn, we are letting all valves fire today aren't we?
