Halo Wars Message Board  

That happen in the first mission of Halo 3 where the story was made so that Master Chief got away safely, obviously that Pelican wouldn't get blown up, not to mention that it was a surprise attack and when a ship like the Phantom is on the ground it can't defend itself against a Pelican that's in the air.

how are phatoms on the ground the men jump off and if it is too high it beams them down or whatever u want to call it

on the ground, low to the ground, same difference

The point is that the Phantoms are hovering low while the Pelican was flying higher than them in the air. Which means the Phantoms can't defend themselves since their turrets are on their underbelly and the enemy is above them. The Pelican one the other hand has a perfect line of sight on the Phantoms so it's obviously going to win.

no t really if u look at it again u would see that the pelican and the phantoms were at the same hight lvl

actually the Phantoms AI wwas programmed to shoot at the Pelican,because you should know that the Phantom's turret is quite flexible and can swivel up to take out its targets, but even though, it would take quite a few shots to destroy a Pelican with such a weak weapon, we all know that the cannon is an upgraded version of the shade turret built for the Phantom.

thats true but if u look at onther times a pelican was shoot down by alot of weak guns

Actually ive seen many Pelican's shot down by Covenant weapons, but they were'nt weak, most of wich, Banshees, and everyone knows that Banshee's are deadly good dog fight competitors, with an attached FRG(fuel rod gun), meaning they can take them out without a match, Pelicans are a little 2 slow for Banshees, espeacilly when immobile.

well if u can see play halo 1 and halo 2 and you'll see
