use the search bar on this topic and just read the posts, i have no feel for retyping a novel
I read the novel... multiple years ago but still. I do not remeber hearing they had equal augmentation. As i stated earlier i thought the augmentation was weaker but able to be used on more people with less risk of CALAMITY.
No. They had the same augmentations, but there was less risk of disability from them due to advances in medical sciences from the S-II program. They had the same training, except there was a definitive emphasis on teamwork. Their equipment was only worse because there were so many S-III's being trained, augmented, and outfitted.
First off the SIIIs got injections and they didn't get the "thyroid treatment" hence them being smaller.
SIIIs were trained for the sole purpose of buying the UNSC time to fight the covenant. Their training was heavily based on teamwork and stealth tactics seeing how they were never to have the numerical advantage.
Being said the SIIs didn't get the education that the SIIs got so they were more war focused and even childish at heart. SIIIs Didn't get any power armor nor did they live to fully hone their skills.
------------------------
The SIIs were Created to stop the civil war that was going on. They had a strict gene pool, College level education, relayed on teamwork and solo independence, Got power armor, and lived for decades.
The Spartan IIs were able to experience the battle and develop their own opinions on it and hone their skills, they were treated with respect unlike the SIIIs
-------------------------------------------
The main factor between the two performance wise is the power armor and skill gap. The perfect example is when kelly fought holly it was balanced until kelly did a solar plexus which sent holly back which wouldn't have happened if she had Mark V.
Then there is the fact of maturity. SIIS were conscripted (save soren) and told they were needed to save their race, they were more disciplined and took the job seriously.
SIIIs joined for revenge against the covenant and were highly un-disciplined,childish, and saw it as a game.
----------------------------------
So everything i said seems to point to the SIIs being better but lets understand something, they both had different goals and they both got them done.
As of now all the SIIs that were "killed" are going to come back thus non died and there where 150 the whole time. [tidbit]
The SIIs were repurposed to fight the covenant thus the ended up with chance on their side and could fight them. Yet despite being create to stop the innies, The spartans have been caught by the innes and implied that even they had trouble with them.
SIIIs on the other hand were created for the sole purpose of buying time which they did. Flaw don't matter as the goal was hours,days,weeks; and the UNSC got that. Now From all that we do know the SIIIs would be far more effective fighting innes while the SIIs would be far more effective fighting covenant, thus they do what they do good enough.
