Covenant warships that now have more quantifiable feats of being able to tank multi megaton level kinetic impacts and weapons fire from recent books.
TIEs are not even a factor with UNSC point defenses that are now confirmed to be Gauss cannons themselves controlled by AI s.Īnd then you have nukes, where we know now that the UNSC by the mid war period switched over all their nuclear weapons for space combat to be directed nuclear driven plasma spears (casaba howitzers in real life) and nuclear bomb pumped X Ray lasers specifically to combat shielded covenant warships. Archer Missiles have low kiloton levels of destructive firepower from quotes and Halo Warfleet now notes that they can also have tactical nuclear warheads themselves, although I would bet with their quoted and heavily implied and depicted engagement speeds they could damage a Disney verse SD just through kinetic impact velocity alone with sufficient number of missiles. The Pillar doesn't even need the MAC, its missiles will be more that sufficient given the heinus point defense capability of Disney Star wars and the abysmal firepower showings. The MAC obviously with Disney showings will gut a Star Destroyer in one to two shots at most, and the whole calc debate has far more showings of hundred to low thousands of kilometers per second MAC round velocity than the one infamous quote in the Fall of Reach that makes utterly no sense since it is not only debunked by battles throughout the book, but within the very chapter given that we know UNSC ships can hit 20,000 kilometers per second and Archer Missiles have been quoted at going a millions miles an hour. Not to mention the UNSC ships, and the Pillar have impressive agility feet's if dodging weapons fire, such as the Pillar aim dodging a near light speed weapon during the Battle of Reach. The Pillar utterly stomps, the only reason the Pillar even has a chance to be damaged is that they start out at point blank range for UNSC and Halo warships, who tend to fight at very high speeds that sling shot them around planets, gas giants and large chunks of star systems at what one would label "a more than brisk "pace and have engagement ranges in the low tena to multiple tens of thousands of kilometers.
