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.

Well thats because the humans didnt have that many ships to begin with, the only time they had that many ships was at reach and that fleet was demolished. The humans never did well in space unless they got lucky exluding the keyes move that was brilliant.
