I want to know why no soldier EVER called in a single airstrike in any canon material. (I don't consider a Pelican firing a chain gun as air support).


Sorry, what?


What confuses you? canon?


No, just that you now said that you knew about the requested air strike that killed a lot of UNSC troops


Oh, right, I kinda failed there, but it would be nice to see an airstrike in a game as well, but all you see in TFoR is the aftermath of the airstrike.


Agreed, all we ever get to see is longswords :( It would be great to see more of the UNSC's war machine though. Maybe in halo 4, 5 or 6?

I would love to see a true airstrike, such as the Halo equivalent of napalm or something like a MOAB.

Wait. Haven't you guys played Halo Reach? Go to the Level TotS and after blowing up the first AA tower, run over to the cliff and look at the battle on the ground and listen to the audio.

Please Bungie, don't take this stuff out... At 3:45 is a longsword run.

AC-220.


Those are big, bulky and too close range. I mean long range, highly powerful.

What defines your kind of airstrike exactly? If anything I'd consider the airstrike on the Scarabs in Reach to count as well as the bombing runs conducted in Halo 3 against Truth's ship.

Here we go. Go to 6:40 and watch from then on. I'll try and find a better video.

My definition would be say, 4 or 5 Apache/Cobra equivalent assault platforms launch a barrage of missiles and strafe hundreds of enemies with chainguns

OR

A squadron of either: Equivalent of A-10 thunderbolts strafing heavy armor and infantry.

OR

High Altitude bombers dropping tons of explosives onto the battlefield, like that missile in Ironman 1

Spartans usually aren't on the front lines. We may never see a true bombing run like Halo 3 again unless we are somehow on the front lines.

Theres the Shortsword bomber in Halo Wars, isn't there?

So you don't count the Reach bombing run on the Scarabs either?

Banshees in real life are probably more like this Look at 3;15


Or like this. 0:48 to 1:12

There are times when I would kill for a realistic Halo game.

Oh well, I can always dream.

I do. I linked a video to it. I was just stating that in the parameters of what the OP thinks a bombing run is.
