What I didn't understand is why they didn't do this to the Covenant ships. In deep space warfare, where there is no risk to the humans, this would be an invaluable tool. Just drop the shields with a MAC round, then hit it with a dozen ARCHER missiles with nanobot warheads, and watch the Covenant ships turn to slag.
That would already kill the covenant ship even without the nano bot technology.
The problem was getting the MACs/Archer missiles out in time (and in the case of the archer missiles, covenant would shoot at them and barely any would make contact)
A MAC round doesn't necessarily kill a ship. Remember, from a Halcyon class it takes 2 to three to kill. But one can drop shield.
Now, an ARCHER does damage, but not nearly enough. A nano-warhead, only one warhead filled with gobblers would be needed to get a kill shot. It may take a bit, but every hit is a kill.
Yeah that's what I meant, you'd have to take the shields down with a MAC then you can Archer missile/MAC it to death. The nanobots would have to wait until the shields were down so it would take about the same time (faster waiting for the MAC to charge again at best).
Unless the nano bots could get through the shields, then I get what you are saying. If one missile getting through would just knock the whole ship out due to the nano bots then it definitely take a lot less time.
