Curiousity question

Doíteán • UNSC Posts: 388 Likes: 17 Gender: Male	Post by Doíteán on Feb 27, 2015 12:22:33 GMT -6 To satisfy my curiousity, I thought i'd go ahead and ask this question: I know the AV-22 Sparrowhawk is a UNSC Marine Corps Vtol craft, and I figure it would be found on a ship (guessing cruisers and carriers), so my question is: how does it get transported to the "ground"? Does it fly there itself or does a dropship bring it into the atmosphere and release it there? Just curious about that after reading the vehicle thread

IT's likely ferried from ship to surface in an Albatross or Pod; as they're both big enough to carry a SparrowHawk - but the Albatross can only carry one at a time.

I don't believe that the Sparrowhawk would survive the journey on it's own. I may be wrong, though.

Venom Class Destroyers are commanded by Commanders or Captains. Greyhound Class Destroyers are commanded by Commanders or Captains. Centaurus Class Destroyers are commanded by Commanders or Captains. Here's my question: if commmanders and captians are tier 5, does that mean those ships are tier 5?

Remnant • Shadow of the Past Guardian Posts: 1,034 Likes: 194 Gender: Male	Post by Remnant on Feb 27, 2015 23:00:48 GMT -6 Odd. Last I check Lieutenant Commander was Tier 3, not Tier 4. My Lieutenant Commander Zachary didn't require a sponsor because of that...does this mean I have to get his profile re-approved, or am I protected by the grandfather clause? Probably the wrong place to ask this, anyway. xD But yeah, I'd say so, Doit.

You already made him before we made the changes to the Tier structure. So, no.

Doíteán • UNSC Posts: 388 Likes: 17 Gender: Male	Post by Doíteán on Feb 28, 2015 11:54:52 GMT -6 How many missiles from and IFV would it take to destroy a wraith? Also would 1 shot from a wraiths primary weapon be able to take out an IFV? An LAV? Would a shot from a Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Rocket Weapon take them both out?

I might make one cause it's a really cool read Awe I believe 2 -3 missiles from the IFV would kill it.

MrKill • The Site dad Guardian Posts: 6,061 Likes: 604 Gender: Male	Post by MrKill on Feb 28, 2015 13:28:55 GMT -6 Canonically a wraith can take out a Scorpion in one hit since we're basing our realism off the novels. It completely vaporized Warthogs in Halo: The Flood - so it could do some serious damage to a light armored or armored vehicle like the IFV or Scorpion.

Doíteán • UNSC Posts: 388 Likes: 17 Gender: Male	Post by Doíteán on Feb 28, 2015 13:43:07 GMT -6 That leads me to my next question (wanting to be accurate with rp sample re-write), how many shots from a scorpion or grizzly would it take to take out a wraith? How many shots from a wraith to take out a grizzly?

MrKill • The Site dad Guardian Posts: 6,061 Likes: 604 Gender: Male	Post by MrKill on Feb 28, 2015 14:00:47 GMT -6 So many questions. lol Canonically it only takes one round from a Scorpion, so it would be less for a Grizzly which fires a higher caliber round. However, rounds tend to bounce and the Wraith has a very smooth and angled surface. It depends on where it hits and how it hits. If you fired at the wraiths side and hit it in the middle you're probably going to get a kill.

Doíteán • UNSC Posts: 388 Likes: 17 Gender: Male	Post by Doíteán on Feb 28, 2015 14:06:16 GMT -6 Ah ok. Cause I'm re-writing rp sample to be a creche and some wraiths. As you can see, Halo is a weak point of mine but I love it gotta learn somehow XD

Llau: For the RP side. Sure, you can have characters discuss about the in-game religions and politics. Just don't get too serious about either one.

Llau: You're confusing OOC discussion with OC, Death Penalty. No Religion - as in, don't get into religious discussions (ie: religious person vs atheist, etc) with another member.
