Who REALLY won the war in space?
The more I think about it the more I start to tell myself that the UNSC, and not the Covenant, won the war in space in the end.
Yes I know it took three or four UNSC ships to destroy one Covenant ship, but overall I still think the UNSC had many major wins. The Unyielding Elephant, destruction of High Charity, the gas planet Admiral Cole nuked to cook the Covenant fleet in orbit, etc.... I really can't remember a time when the UNSC lost at least 150 ships or more in a single battle....
So overall, even though the Covenant won almost every engagement, when you add in Unyielding Elephant(500+ ships), High Charity (1000+ ships) and the fleet destroyed near the gas planet (300 ships) it looks like the covies lost a lot more in space than Humanity did.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] grey101 and wasn't that ship disabled after the MAC blew a whole in it? You act like Mac weaponry didn't improve throughout the war not to mention the fall of reach comic retconned the ship to being a CCS. Which isn't new seeing how small the UNSC ships are in general, i don't know where you can hit a UNSC ship without causes major damage. As if AP rounds don't relay on blunt force to cause trauma.[/quote] The ship was still able to travel much faster than the Commonwealth and still was able to reactivate its shields and use all it's weaponry. And the whole point of an AP round is to make sue it doesn't fracture into fragments so it can actually pierce through objects. and bullets should never be designed use blunt force to cause trauma.
