First of all: You don’t have to sound condescending, I try to do my research well, and the things that I can’t find I ask about. Is that so wrong? Also the double post was my bad, the computer was acting up and didn’t register the first post until an hour or so later.
Second: I was agreeing because of sheer numbers of ships. The Covenant would be out numbered 10:1 or even 20:1
Third: Particle Shields still wouldn’t protect their ships from Plasma Torpedoes, but Ray Shields would, and that still doesn’t mean that they would skip off the shields. As for power, a Plasma Torpedo is a massive ball of plasma that is guided to enemy ships from the ship it was fired from. Im not sure of the Power behind that amount of Plasma but from what I would understand it should take only a dozen or more hits to down shields and start boiling away the hull.
Forth: Pulse lasers were meant to be used as point defense, although they had the range and accuracy to target capitol ships. There is no comparison between one ships main weapons and anothers point defense. Unless you assumed that a ball of plasma the size of an asteroid guided into an enemy ship is point defense?
Fifth: the Gravity well projectors don’t stop a ship from moving, they’re meant to stop a ship from entering Hyperspace. As for tractor beams the mass and momentum of the Cov. Ships would allow them to be able to escape them, Mind you, it would be annoying for them, but it would not hold them in place.
Sixth: the AT-AT’s size is correct and I’m not sure of the exact size of the Scarab but I tested it. I jumped off the top of it and counted how long it was to die on impact, it took around 3 seconds to hit the ground. So since I fell at 9.8m/s/s (I accelerated by 9.8m per second) and since my downward velocity was nill when I started the jump, this figure states that the height of the Scarab is about 50 to 60 meters. Of course this is just my math and is not canon to my knowledge, so this point is still murky.
Seventh: I do believe that the Plasma canon is hot enough to, if not melt then stress Doonium to the point at were it will at least bend and be useless. As for a direct hit on that enormous target of a head, it’s the same mistake that the UNSC ships make: placing command in front like a shield, instead of tucking it away were it will be useful.
Eighth: I cant find in my research the variant that you describe with missiles, though there is the standard one that has a concussion grenade launcher.
Ninth: It wouldn’t matter if the trooper was seasoned or not, because even a Blackbelt would loss to someone ten times their strength, and skilled at killing.
Last: I will grant you your precious Mk 3 armor, because you stated that it was “Like” the armor from “Tinian On Trial”. As I’m sure that you’ve read, that research complex was destroyed, and all research lost (Except the cut off hardware of one suit). If the suits used the same “Anti-Energy” field, then yes plasma would have a tough time hurting the trooper, but then they’d pull a carbine out and shoot him to death. I say this because the god armor of the Stormtroopers isn’t imperious to projectile fire as you’d assume. The 18 plastoid parts of the main body can and will stop a projectile, but the body glove can’t, nor can the visor, and if the projectile is of sufficient size, velocity, or is designed to be armor-piercing then it stands a decent chance to penetrate the shell as well.
PS: If one Clone Commando is equal to a Spartan then the rebels were F***ed from the beginning, so I really don’t think they are equal. First a Spartan is hand picked to be genetically the best of the best, this would be more than equal to picking Jango Fett. Then they were given training since childhood, same as the clones. But that’s were the similarities stop, were clones given “Carbide ceramic ossification” were their bones were made nigh-unbreakable? Were the clones Muscles amplified and enhanced? Were they tuned to be bigger and stronger than any human that has ever come before? Were they given better natural sight? And were their reflexes increased by 300%... I think not. That is an un-armored Spartan! When you can tell me that one unarmed & unarmored commando could take on twenty seasoned veterans and win without breaking a sweat, then I’ll just start to believe you.
