Yes I'm fairly young. No, that doesn't mean I'm automatically dumber than you or have less life experience, thats just generally the case. I am not your general case.

Cant you call air strikes in reach with that pistol thing?
That's steel rain/rocket artillery.
OT: E3 2003's Halo 2 stage demo showed a marine calling in a longsword air strike on a plasma artillery battery, but the level was cut from the final product.
Real-life aerodynamics aside, I believe Seraph fighters permit Covenanet air superiority in almost any battle. It would be like a Mig-29 fighting an F-22 Raptor, where the F-22 is a Seraph.
I thought Seraphs weren't meant for atmospheric combat? In GoO, the only reason the Seraphs are being used is because of the 5 CCS' over the refueling station. Also, Tom was quite surprised to see them in atmosphere, which is how I came to my first conclusion.
Regardless, Banshee's could still kick the ass of any human fighters.
Do you have any proof of that? An AIM-54 of today can engage targets at ranges of over 100 miles. I've only seen a Banshee go somewhere around 200km/h, so I assume a Mach 4 missile could hit it before it saw it. And don't say it wouldn't affect it, it is a 6,000lb missile, packed with fuel and explosives.

He speaks of the cannon air-to-air version of the Banshee, not the air-to-ground Banshee we see in the games, which has been toned down even further to allow for smoother gameplay.
