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.

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.
