Covenant SDV Corvette vs Acclamator Assault Ship | Star Wars vs Halo: Who Would Win?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Today's video once again puts Halo vs Star Wars. The Covenant SDV Corvette was heavily featured in Halo Reach, and was the ship used to destroy the CSO Supercarrier. That ship is taking on the Acclamator Class Assault Ship, as used by the Republic during the Clone Wars and debuting in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. The Covenant vs The Republic - Star Wars vs Halo - find out which comes out on top in today's episode of Star Wars: Who Would Win.
Much of the footage today was taken from Halo Reach and its campaign cutscenes.

Could we see a three part/topic video:
1) About The Killiks VS the Trade Federation.
2) Dart Ships and Nest Ships VS Vulture droids and Lucrehulk-class battleship.
3) As well as Killik Troops VS Battle Droids if ether side tried boarding the other.
Harrower Vs Gladiator
Sith Empire's Premiere Warship Vs Galactic Empire's Smallest Star Destroyer
This is a great match up, but I gotta add something. In the Halo novel "First Strike", apparently all covenant ships have to lower their shields in order to fire on a target. Just wanted to mention that
THANK YOU. Finally someone that disregards the stupid 200 gigaton claim.
The Covenant SDV corvette has an Energy Projector, the DAV-class light corvette however did not. This becomes really confusing as the two look EXACTLY THE SAME. =A=
It is a bit of a toss up really, it depends on if the Covenant use their distance advantage and play keep away. But considering that they typically don't use it when it comes to corvettes, tips this fight in the Acclamator's favor.
EckhartsLadder 9th or 10th attempt (can't remember)
Mandator II Class Star Dreadnought VS Executor Class Super Star Destroyer
"There are so many reasons why the Covenant SVD doesn't have an energy projector, but because of a 'thingy' on the bottom which is probably just a grav lift, I *have to* count it in this battle."
.....wut
probably an add on after recording
The covenant scarab vs the at-at
Yes!!
Alex Bieniek the harvester
yes do this eckharts pls
Alex Bieniek Halo 2 scarab would make the AT AT seem like a puppy
who ever fires first, wins.
According to Warfleets, the SDV does in fact, have shields. No clue why the Ardent Prayer's (the corvette from Reach) or the Corvette that was damaged later seemingly had their shields down. For the Ardent Prayer, it could be possible it was en route to the Long Night of Solace to have it's shields repaired after being damaged in battle on top of refueling.
As for the one over the city? I'd say one of two things. Either it had lowered it's shields to fire and the missiles nailed it right then or the shields on the SDV just aren't anything to write home about, which seems the more likely as according to Warfleets, each ship basically has a dedicated....pattern that it shares with vessels of the same class, but doesn't translate to other ships. In other words the shield of a SDV is of a completely different class and a completely different manufacturer than the shield of a CCS.
Oddly enough, despite having the S for Salvation, the SDV does NOT have a plasma lance or excavation beam.
Here's the SDV's armament:
6x Melusianf-pattern heavy plasma cannons
16x Carnax Nu-pattern plasma bombardment mortars
11x Phot-pattern pulse lasers.
The forces attacking New Alexandria were mostly Brutes, Brutes did have their own ships, normally smaller ones, and had advanced systems (shields, heavy cannons, etc) removed on orders of Elite fleet commanders.
As for the Ardent Prayer, perhaps the Savannah downed it's shields with an archer volley, then took out the emitters with point defence guns? (grasping at straws with this one)
I believe the reason why they didn't have their Shields up was because using Shields takes energy from the ship if I remember it correctly, I'm just assuming here but I think those who are in command of the Corvettes didn't think Humanity was that big of a threat at the time to use Shields
the covenant didn't want to glass sword base or new alexandria right away since both had forerunner information thats why they didnt glass right away they only glassed a few parts of reach
Probably they were destroyed in the battle. The skies were mostly clear for a good bit before they started glassing why would they give up air superiority over the city that still had a good bit of military units and Spartans on the ground. The unsc probably blew them up as soon as the civilians transports were clear of the city. You don’t wanna start bringing down ships over a city that’s still mostly full of civilians.
Stargate/Star Wars Fanboy do you play halo
It's literally common sense at this point
ONEIL311 the covenant wanted to make humans extinct military or civilian
A couple of things I want to point out:
- In Halo: Fleet Battles (Tabletop Game) and Halo: Hunters in the Dark (novel) both depict the SDV-Class Heavy Corvette possessing energy shielding, and in the latter case, the Mayhem (the SDV Corvette in the novel) is capable of withstanding several hits from Retriever Sentinels the same type of sentinels you see in Halo Wars 2) in combat with its shielding and armour.
- Halo: Fleet Battles also describes the SDV Corvette as possessing the ability to cloak itself, which would give it a tremendous advantage against anything its up against. While we do not know the specifics of this cloaking ability, its still something to keep in mind.
- Again, from the same sources above along with Halo Waypoint's universe entry of the SDV Heavy Corvette, the armaments of the SDV Heavy Corvette are Plasma Turrets, Plasma Cannon Arrays and antimatter mines, and we saw what antimatter charges had done to a CAS Assault Carrier in Halo 2.
- Besides the "S" classification in its name, there hasn't been anything suggesting that the SDV Heavy Corvette possesses an energy projector, as it would've certainly been something that would be mention in Halo: Fleet Battles, or Halo: Mythos.
Providence-Class Dreadnought (Larger Varient) vs. Imperial Star Destroyer Mk.1
lego man joe I think Providence easily against the katana fleet
thumb this up
Nicholas Gavin interesting, have you played battlefront 2 ? Mustafar space in campaign? Empires equipment recks droids
Steven Greaves I have but that was a game and against the 501st none the less.
random guy Yea of course.
This is an interesting match-up, however, I believe the fighter complement you gave the SDV was a bit bloated. According to Halopedia, the SDV Heavy Corvette's fighter complement is as follows:
10+ Type-26 Banshees
10+ Type-27 Banshees
6+ Type-31 Seraphs
As for the cleansing beam, Halopedia and Halo Nation seem to contradict each other on that, so to play it safe you'd have to leave it out in the final fight.
Additionally, there is evidence to suggest that the Acclamator's shield aren't as strong as you may assume, given that Separatist Proton Cannons have been shown to easily pierce their shields.
The absurd 200gigaton power rating was already rather funny due to how it'd do the Death-Star's job easily, but did he just say that the Acclamator uses freaking *Neutronium* for armour? As in the material that the heart of Neutron Stars are formed from? The material so immensely dense and high energy that if you dropped a single teaspoon of onto Earth's surface, it would not only release energy like a sustained continual nuclear explosion, but also *fall at terminal velocity right through the Earths crust and core as if it weren't even there?* Falling. Through solid rock. Like it was air. It's that freaking heavy. The material that would reach the centre and cause the planet to collapse in upon itself?
The Acclamator uses THAT for armour? xD
Yeah, ok, Acclamator wins hands down then. For the reason that the moment it jumps into the system it would immediately override the local stars gravity, and suck both the star and every planet into itself. If the SDV Corvette is anywhere near to the jump point, it gets instantly vaporised merely by the energy that the Acclamator's armour gives off. Weapons aren't needed.
"For the reason that the moment it jumps into the system it would
immediately over ride the local stars gravity, and suck both the star
and every planet into itself."
That'd be pretty freakin' funny to see.
*Dense
I don’t think the acclamator would ever get there, it would crumple in on itself before it could get anywhere
I always assume that 200gigaton number was the author getting his units mixed up. I think he meant 200 gigajoules.
patton3rd1 Star Wars authors aren’t the smartest individuals.
Dude what about the seraph the covenants actual Main space fighter that are shielded.
Demon Rebel Right.
Couldn’t survive a turbo laser
super star destroyer vs independence day mothership
seeing as the biggest SSD is only 19km long and the mothership is over 5000km...
UNSC Pelican Dropship vs Republic LAAT Gunship!
Doncut97 ayy ur comment actually happened
Providence class dreadnought (2km) versus Imperial Stardestroyer
kyle goh yes
kyle goh Wonder where that idea came from lol.
Nicholas Gavin lol ive been typing these since the series started.
But im always late.
Nicholas Gavin great mimds think alike.
kyle goh Cool
over 200 gigatons per shot? out of his mind ,the old potato is out of his mind, the old potato is
You forgot some things. The covenant could preform in system slipstream jumps. The SDV could easily outflank the Acclemater. Also the SDV carried several Seraph fighters which are far superior to banshee fighters. But besides that great vid. I know it would be a bit difficalt but I would like to see video of the Mantles Approach vs a SSD or even a Death Star.
Blue Milk vs Jawa Juice
Which is a better drink?!?!!?
MLG DankMemes Jawa Juice is an alcoholic beverage. Depends on if you wanna get wasted at the cantina or not
Nah, how about Coca-Cola VS Blue Milk
Bourbon vs jawa juice
A perfect 1,000 views.
Also we know one thing for sure about the Supercarrier: It has a shit ton of Fighters.
Edit: Also, if the SDV has an energy projector, it is possible that it is MUCH weaker that on, say, the cruisers. After all, it IS just a corvette, and probably has more of a "Give cover to troops" or "Go over that city and make sure that the vermin don't fly away" role. It is CERTAINLY small and maneuverable enough to do so, and I imagine it's far easier to get it in atmosphere that a 5km ship.
Great job on the video! i like how you gave the benefit of the doubt to the Covi ship and explained what would happen if it did and didnt have a glassing beam.
Could you please make LAAT/i gunship vs droidgunship in the next vs-video?
Jonas Brauer nice idea good luck
Mic Clank Thanks, requested it for weeks now. Hopefully it will be done.
What about a Squadron battle? For example the 181st Imp. Fighter Wing versus Red Squadron!
NicRave fun fact. Renegade Flight (A sub group of Red Squadron and Counterpart to Rogue Squadron) was destroyed by the 181st over Derra IV shortly before the Battle of Hoth.
You have to remember the covenant corvettes were just used in a large group battles and as escorts the better choice would have been a croser or a destroyer.
you are using Reach as a reference then use Star Wars Rebels as a reference for the Turbolaser power when Thrawns fleet bombs the Rebel base. . . the explosions from the Turbolaser are like frag grenades
What makes you say That? The Rebels had a planetary shield. Plus the cannon novel Tarkin mentions that turbolasers are nuclear. So it really depends on the source. Both Halo and Star Wars are inconsistent in lore, but Star Wars is even more inconsistent. Novels always make things more technical and practical than video games, cutscenes, film, and tv shows that focus on visual gratification.
In halo wars Forge killed an Arbiter, ODST in the helljumper comic killed an ultra elite and various other elites that thgey outsmarted, marines take down brutes in a few shots in the halo landfall trailer, Sangheili warriors go life and death with marines in Halo Wars cutscenes, remember halo day at the beach and all those mistakes that the elite made who engaged a squad of ODST, and Brutes own elites with little effort in Halo Wars 2 cutscenes despite lore saying that 1 elite= 3 brutes on average.
Thats because the shots had to pass through the atmosphere of the planet reducing their energy
Bill Clark that elite on day on the beach was a minor though.
*spec ops
Plus EckhartsLadder says he is using a republic ship, that is the Empire and specifically Thrawn wanted to land on the planet, not destroy it. TurboLasers also have different power settings so using Rebels to defend the Covenant Corvette is a baseless argument
200 gigatons although sounding fantastically, absurdly overkill, is what would roughly speaking, be the explosive/power requirement needed to actually and realistically glass a planets surface, and we're not talking a single shot, hundreds if not thousands of shots would be needed.
A 100,000 megaton (100 gigaton) weapon, would, by my estimation, be powerful enough to set all of New England on fire, or most of California, or all of the UK and Ireland, or all of France, or all of Germany, or both North and South Korea, and so on. So although sounding like a ridiculous number, its really not.
I agree
That's 4 tsar bomba's worth of explosive power per shot. The acclemator has 48 such cannons that can each fire one shot every few seconds.
you should consider if the ship had like boarding parties to hijack ships
Yesenia Beltran why wouldnt either of thise ships have boarding parties?
A common covenant battle strategy is to board enemy ships and collect intel and if possible capture the ship. They could have boarding craft if not the drop ships can drop them on the hull covenant battle armor is capable of Eva’s in space. Also this corvette has seraph fighters that he left out of the fight. They are shielded and are as fast as banshees
ONEIL311
Faster* than Space Banshees
Actually the SDV does have an energy projector. The "S" in the name stands for salvation meaning they at least carry two projectors.
Edit- Ah you mentioned the meaning of the S.
Thel 'Vadam That depends a lot on which source you are looking at.
Chadd Stewart Halopedia
Thel 'Vadam but it doesn't mention this on the halo wikia. I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm just saying that with conflicting sources it's hard to make a call one way or the other. Hopefully, most of the questions about covenant weapons and ships will be answered in the new book.
Imperial Star Destroyer vs. Lucrehulk-class battleship
What about the Seraphs? In the hanger bay Seraphs can be seen on the hanger bay ceiling of the SDV Corvette. Seraphs are fast and have good weapons as well as shields, so they should be able to dodge their point defense lasers and do good damage, enough to turn the battle.
Unsurprisingly, he did very little research. You'll notice that in a lot of his Halo vs Star Wars videos.
I personally prefer Spacedock, he's a lot less bias.
yes i agree, star wars and Halo battles are quite incompatible, star wars ships are famous for their short engagement range, while Halo ships fight from hundreds of kilometers away. . . and its ironic he wont due a battle that includes a Super Carrier because it doesn't have enough STATs but he will do it with the First order ships. . . . and Star wars "Facts" about their weapon output is sooo unrealistic its annoying
Alexiel Black As he said SW tends to be very out there in stats and has quite a bit of inconsistencies, while halo, only ever being touched by 2 studios really, is much more grounded, we know how fast a bullet is, we know how plasma is generated and reacts to magnetic fields, but SW never fully describes how turbolasers fire, what frequency, how is the energy focused, ect. So typically is halo versus SW matchups Star Wars will typically win because it is more "out there" and very liberal with the numbers it throws around.
Halopro895 it really wouldn't be. The corvette would be at the very least disabled before they could even launch
Halopro895 I also love how all of you hate on him for being biased while you're doing the same even ignoring the stats and feats of Star Wars ships because you they they're unrealistic when we are talking about two sci fi universes. Hypocrites
You forgot the Seraphs for the Covenant. These are shielded space superiority fighters. The shields must be taken down before missiles can be used, otherwise they are deflected.
Ywing vs tie bomber
y-wing
Dude thats the Y-Wing 10/10. Theres no competition
hmm... actually that's a bit tough since the TIE Bomber did have guided concussion missiles
TIE Bomber is even slower than GTA 6
Covenant weaponry is extremely effective against shields. I feel like thats something to keep in mind for future videos :)
Imperial 1 class star destroyer vs Small rebel battle group (2 CR90 corvettes, 1 DP20 frigate, 1 GR75 medium transport, 1 EF76 nebulon B frigate.) 4th try!!
Jimka Kai excellent idea
Jimka Kai To this day, I don't understand what those GR 75 transports do besides moving cargo or personnel. I wouldn't even send them with a battle group.
funguy873 they can resupply the other ships and carry troops into battle
the covenant also used the Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter (also known as the seraph) in space battles.
Victory class 2 star destroyer vs MC75 please
24th attempt please
In Forward Onto Dawn Episodes that Covernant ship does have a glassing cannon and used it to destroy the UNSC space elevator
simply put, because "magic" star wars wins.
the reality is, the "stats" written down simply don't match anything we see.
Truth is, when star wars was written Lucas based everything on ww2. fighters have a range of 1-2km, battleships have a range of 20 miles, maybe 40, but at long ranges they need a "Spotter" aircraft to provide them targeting data.... because their sensors can't see that far.
not disagreeing that the stats written down dont match what we see but I would like to share two points.
1) thats true of like, almost all sci-fi not just star wars. A bit less in Halo, but the covenant corvette at least still seems unusually vulnerable, and fights do happen at much shorter ranges than they necessarily should (though not to the extent of star wars)
2) star wars ships are limited but definitely are much better than WW2. Fighters in star wars (at least some of them) have ranges of 'the entire galaxy' thanks to hyperdrives, battleships can bombard planets from orbit (so they have at least orbital range), and sensors can detect ships in the system provided they have a line of sight.
Now star wars ships do still have much shorter range and less durability or firepower than alot of things mentioend in stats. But I felt these two points were pertinent.
@@lenkagamine4145 "fighters in star wars have ranges of the entire galaxy" sure, throw a hyperdrive in a spitfire and it will fly in space and have galactic range. (we see that in DR Who). But battleships bombarding planets, every time we see that in star wars... the exact effect is so limited and accuracy is so bad... Star destroyers open up from orbit and their shots land... somewhere, with in a few miles of the target. The reason here is again what was see... the guns... are manually aimed and sighted by eye. shooting at a planet from orbit is easy... its a rather big target... Shooting at a city from orbit.... a bit harder... Then, have you EVER SEEN what happens when a battleships guns hit a target? when a big shell 300-400mm hits and explodes? A star destroyers turbo lasers blasts look like 100 pound bombs in comparison. a direct hit to a house might destroy a wall and part of the roof. now sure, if 10-20 shots were to it the house it would flatten the building in seconds... BUT shots aren't concentrated... they go everywhere... A planetary shield covering several miles gets bombarded from orbit... and somehow they still MISS the shield... and shots hitting the shield go everywhere.
proton bombs we see used have blast effects like hand grenades. actually hand grenades are more lethal because of the fragmentation effects... Proton bombs just explode and damage or hurt everything in a 25' area... Simply put, while they "talk up" the effects, what we see never matches what the books, say.
That fade out was actually therapeutic.
is it possible that the covenant ship is most weak underneath but not on top which is why the missile salvo was able to take it out?
Covenant armor isn't that good against missiles and high explosives, but they make up for this with a powerful shield that basically laughs at almost every missile/rocket/bullet you throw at it. The good thing about the Covenant armor is that it can take plasma and energy blasts rather well, unlike the shield which overloads quickly.
So funnily enough, the SDV Corvette could and likely would take an absolute beating from the Acclamator before finally going down due to its armor.
My brother and I were watching and called the outcome before the end. God damn that covenent ship never had a chance.
Another nice matchup could be the Covenant CCS-Class Battle Cruiser Vs the Republic Venator-Class Star Destroyer, a more matched fight since the CCS is more armored and actually has a shield.
Sakuya Izayoi 十六夜 咲夜 the Venator would be easily destroyed, as it doesn't have the best armor, as it is more of a multipurpose capital ship with a large fighter bay.
A more fair match up would be the CCS vs the Imperial mk 1 Star destroyer.
Adam Leith hmm, I agree with you that would be much better
And lets not forget a CCS has twin Energy Projectors I doubt a Venator would be in any fighting shape after a pair of those connect. Also Covenant bridges are buried well inside the hull of the ship which many of the star destroyers all feature exposed bridges so a well timed launch of torpedoes hitting just after the projectors could easily take apart the CIC from extended range.
Also Covenant ships can do in system FTL jumps which once they see the arrangement of weapons on the SD's they would simply jump behind the ship and while vulnerable for a few seconds after the jump would be locked on the ships 6 or could just stay at extended range and let the projectors sing.
Regardless of flight capablilites, The Covenant's Energy Projectors / Cleansing beams would gut practically any conventional Star Wars ships just like with the UNSC. As per the page on Halopedia, The Energy Projector creates vast electromagnetic disturbances, energy shields are known to fail within several kilometers of an active beam. This fact means certain doom against any shielded covenant ship of considerable size.
In that case, why don't Covenant shields fail when they use the projector, you might ask? They technically do and don't. The Covenant have to lower a part of their shields around the projector in order to fire, but not the shields of the entire ship. Also their shields don't fail because their shield systems are plasma based. Although this means covenant shields are technically susceptible to super heated plasma/ cleansing beams, this weakness is preferred rather than having their shields outright *fail* when said projector is in use. I would judge the Star Wars equivalent of plasma shielding would be "Thermal" shields.
Let's go! Warhammer 40k Space marine Battle Barge versus Eclipse class Star Dreadnought. Or if you wanna go big or go home The Phalanx (again Warhammer 40k) versus the first death star
Space battleship yamato vs MC75 cruiser(plz?)
Just call me Eddy THATS NOT EVEN FAIR Space battleship Yamato had a freakin Wave Gun that in the old show could destroy a small Galaxy, and in the new remake could destroy Pluto. A better matchup would be the eclipse vs the Space Battleship Yamato, even then the Yamato would come out on top because of its smaller size and extremely fast speed.
Nicholas Wong the wave motion gun takes a while to charge up before firing
True, the WMG takes its time to charge, but the shock cannons alone would wreck any form of MC vessel below the MC80s in one salvo, from one turret.
Nick White well then what's a good matchup against the space yamato?
Hmmm idk a good matchup for Yamato would be. Yamato has incredible speed, wave motion shielding, and on top of that the iscandarian armor belt, torpedoes and missles covering every 3D plane of space, and on top of that, the shock cannons can blow through any sort of Star Wars shielding. Even without the Wave Gun Yamato seems like the most OP ship in most fictions. And it's not even 400 m long. Someone needs to find another OP ship.
EDIT: I lied, the blue glowy thingy is actually a gravity lift.
I believe the blue circle in the middle is an energy projector. Also, in Halo: Reach, we see these ships use energy projector on the mission where you fly a Falcon around the new Alexandria skyline and everyone around the area you're in is getting their pants burned off, because, plot protection.
Nebula Class Star Destroyer vs. Majestic Class Heavy Cruiser
Secutor-class Star Destroyer vs Lucrehulk-class battleship
Secutor Class Star Destroyer vs Lucrehulk Class Control Ship
I'd like to add that the covenant corvette in halo reach did not get hit by a single volley of rockets from a salvo, it was hit by many before hand, and then the salvo was disabled, it was reactivated by noble 6 on the mission exodus, and fired a final salvo at the corvette.
The covenant will always win because of its ability to glass targets with its super laser.
Here is some lore for you. The covenant wasn’t glassing reach until they made the humans run away bc they were searching for forerunner artifacts
mc75 vs Venator Class star destroyer
When the new book comes out it'd be cool to see how you'd fair the home one against the pillar of autumn. (To mix it up would be interesting to hear your opinion on Ackbar vs Keyes on this match up).
Steven Greaves As much as I love the Autumn it would lose handily vs the home one.
MAC Cannon from a few hundred km. . . Home One is done for
Steven Greaves Ackbar didn't get infected and have his skull smashed in. And didn't have the same rank as his Daughter for 2 full years lol. But the Keyes Loop was impressive....
Chadd Stewart the Autumn held out against 12 CCS Battlecruisers and managed to destroy 4 and disable 2 (Half of the Covenants Fleet!) And the Autumn was only taken out of the fight because a boarding party detonated a small Antimatter Charge in the MAC control room. The 3 round burst MAC and thick armor would make the Autumn the best UNSC ship ever (Yes even better than the ridiculous Infinity)
Chadd Stewart my initial thought however upon further reading I feel it could be more interesting than my initial preconceptions
in 6:10 I think the Covenant Corvette was disabled easily because it had previously been fired upon by UNSC forces. I remember in the campaign you hear over the radio soldiers shooting the FPF 1 and FPF 2 to the covenant corvette to no avail. I could be wrong though.
ISA Cruiser (New Sun) vs UNSC Frigate (Forward onto Dawn)
Whoa, wait. What happened to the Seraph fighters? Corvette very clearly had several in its hanger, and those Phantoms were modified for roles similar to torpedo boats rather than simple transports.
Chuck Norris VS Darth Vader
Jackson L. Austin
Yes!!! Do this
I feel sorry for Darth Vader...
of course
They should Fuse and make Chuck Vader and they should fight the Fused Luke Lee ( Luke Skywalker + Bruse Lee ) 😀
Just...just no
Oh boy, one in the morning, time for a crabby patt... I mean starship versus
SSDv15 Star Destroyers
Love the series, but here is a challenge for the intangibles. I'd love to see the Resolute go up against the Devastator. Both were flagships for Anakin/Darth Vader and would love to assume they were on board during the skirmish. Very different approach to how each ship defends itself.
The covenant would win most of the time in battles I think.
I disagree
Keep in mind that the Covenant knew what was under Sword Base and didn't want to harm it, and so wouldn't want to glass the base anyway. They haven't even done that when Noble goes back!
Enterprise (The one in the Kelvin timeline) vs Imperial-1 class Star Destroyer
AdmiralSupreme which enterprise?
Jason Sylvander The one that was destroyed in Star Trek Beyond
AdmiralSupreme that would be interesting for sure
I love your Halo vs Star Wars videos!
The Dalek Emperor's command ship vs Venator class star destroyer.
thats really not fair a DCS is over 400 miles long
What, really! That's half the length of England. Are you sure you are not talking about the Mondasian Colony Ship?
Wait are talking about the one from parting of ways
Yes.
Oh right I thought you were on about the one used in the time war the one used there was just a battle cruiser however it was still a good 20 miles long
Have yet to watch the video, but I’m putting my money on the Covenant SDV Corvette. Mainly because we know that Covenant plasma weapons are particularly effective against energy shields, and also because they are well known for cutting through some very tough armor. The Acclamator is a respectable ship and I think it will do fairly well, but I just don’t see it coming out on top. Unless I’m missing something, of course.
Edit: Wow, I was WAY off lol. Had no idea that the SDV Corvette lacks a shield, so that was quite a surprise. However, in light of that, I think the video is correct to crown the Acclamator victorious. Given the breakdown, I now think that the most an SDV Corvette could do against an Acclamator is fight it to a standstill, or at best to the point of mutual destruction.
V wing star fighter vs tie interceptor
The fact that the corvette was crippled by a single salvo of missles is not true. Earlier in the mission you can hear in the dialogue that kilo40 ordered kilo 26 to fire FPF 1 and 2. You can feel the massive vibrations after each attack underground during the mission. kilo40 commented "Man how do you stop that thang?!" It doesnt give detail to what FPF is other than a danger close defensive attack ment to stop the corvette.
Also thanks Eckarts for the interesting videos. Really appreciate the effort put into your videos
AT-TE vs. AT-UT
SDV Class Corvettes are actually pretty tough buggers. If you read the wiki about them, SDVs actually don't have a cleansing beams as they are too small to power the weapon, but it still has enough power to take on an Acclamator Assault Ship, at range. Covenant vessels aren't very good at close range combat as their main weapons, Plasma torpedoes, actually require space to turn and hit targets. A single Plasma torpedo could basically melt through an Accamator's hull, as it does with UNSC vessels. A single plasma torpedo is enough to melt through a Paris class Heavy Frigate's hull, which is made of titanium A alloy, which can take rounds from ballistic weapons, like Archer missiles and 57mm cannons and laugh about. The human vessels are meant to take on human vessels, so they have sloped armored, which is thick and capable of deflecting or absorbing blasts from missiles or round from a cannon, you can't do that with plasma though. The only saving grace the Acclamator has is its shield. But I doubt that would allow it to win, as plasma torpedoes are used at long range and it could only take two or three, due to a CCS class battle cruiser only taking nine before its shields failing.
eta 2 vs delta 7
That would be interesting.
I remember reading somewhere that if covenant used ships properly they could have wiped out humanity easily so not sure if it would be fair to use that standard.
There were several things that made it so that the human race stood a chance. The fact that we humans counted as Forerunner relics made it hard for them to glass our worlds and the apparent fact that their Plasma Torpedoes aren't properly set up. Really, Cortana took control of a Covenant ship and made a few changes, her upgraded Plasma Torpedoes one shot most of the nearby Covenant ships.
you forgot that the corvet had seraph that are fast well shielded anti station/battlecruiser fighters and that the phanttoms are extremely armored and could have been retrofitted with anti capital ships weaponery :(
Gabriel Brunet
Wow I'm proud of this person. They did there homework
What do you mean i dont understand ?
Worth mentioning that the Corvette in the book Hunters in the Dark did indeed have shielding, as do they in Fleetbattles.
Not a guarantee to anything of course.
z-95 headhunter (as It was during the clone wars) vs the x-wing
Nobody?
Thanks!
Z-95 destroyed
Thank you so much for this video pal! Keep them up.
two points of contention I have for you. the first is that the sdv would also carry seraphs which are several times more capable than banshee's in literally every category and they have shields. also every other source that mentions the sdv gives it sheilds. that little bit in reach was for plot convenience only.
Not sure if you have ever done one of these, but how about a Praetor Mark II Battlecruiser vs an Imperium of Man Apocalypse-class Battleship?
UNSC Broadsword Starfighter VS X-Wing Starfighter.
You forgot about the Seraph fighter which is more comparable to an star wars fighter with shields and similar weapons to a banshee.
SDV corvettes carried 26 fighters(8 Seraphs, 18 Banshees, and 2 transports for ground troops.
Covenant CAS Class Assault Carrier Vs Bellator Class Super Star Destroyer with Escorts. 6 per FlagShip (Fifth try now) 2 CSS Class BattleCruisers and Four SDV Heavy Corvettes for the Covenant Fleet and for the Imperial fleet Two Imperial 2 Class Star Destroyers and four Victory 2 Class Star Destroyers.
The Hammerhead corvette, because that one looks more futuristic in every way.
Tie Defender: canon vs. legends
they have the same armament so it’s tied
I know that you're doing spaceships, but I'm interested in the ground battles too, such as the Star Wars Juggernaut that we briefly saw in Revenge of The Sith Vs the Mammoth in Halo 4.
The covenant ship also carried a few sariphs and those are much faster and have shields.
CCS-class battlecruiser vs Venator-class Star Destroyer.
SDV carries only banshees and Seraphs. This is clearly seen in it's main hanger bay. Seraphs were stashed in a single file line with their noses attached to the ceiling of the hanger, similar to how vulture droids in Lukerhulk battleships were stashed. Banshees were stashed above the hanger entrances on either side of the ship inside shielded compartments.
Both of these can be seen in game weather in the campaign or multiplayer map Corvette in Halo: Reach
Just imagining if it turns out the acclamators fire control systems can't track targets as slow as the banshee, I mean, the Bismark was sunk because it's guns were too advanced, what if this turns out to be the same.
Great video! Completely agree with the outcome, tbh.
You are my favorite RUclipsr I've been hear from the very first video. I wish I could donate. You are the best
For the covi ship.
Sword base had valuable information thats a reason why they did not bombared it but entered, and over new alexandria, leting some transporters slip through and follow them led the covi to other plantes, there for was the cole protocole
Kandosii Dreadnought vs Centurion Battlecruiser
What's interesting is that both sides weapons utilize plasma.
Also it's simple science that magnetic fields can be used to manipulate plasma, as to why the UNSC didn't outfit their ships with magnetic fields as a type of energy shield is beyond me since the tech and know how to make magnetic fields has been around for quite a while now.
Oh yea, ARC-170 vs Seraph
I'm a huge Star Wars and Halo fan/nerd myself so I love these videos.
The Corvette was taken out by a small payload nuclear salvo. A normal SAM cannot even penetrate the hull.
200 Gigatons on the turbolasers of the Acclamators? If I'm not mistaken in how they measure tons, the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated on earth brought only 50 megatons to bear. So 4000 Tsar Bombs delivered in one shot?
I think that with the Covenant's mastery of Slipspace travel, I think a commander would just slip into the Acclimator's blind spot, and take out its engines with sustained fire. With the shields failing, the ship would be then vulnerable to Boarding parties, something the covenant is well versed in doing to human ships. then it really comes down to Covenant Infantry vs Republic Infantry, cloaked elites, hunters, buggers, grunts and shield jackles vs the various intrantry of the republic abord a ship would be interesting, then again, i dont think they would try to capture it, prob just hide a bomb on board and Boom.
Warhammer 40k ship vs star wars ship, class vs class would be pretty cool!
Can we talk about how 2 Acclamators completely destroyed a Lucrehulk class by themselves?
Gonna say this. I love all the information I learn from the videos you make. Keep it up plz. Also everyone in the comments you make awesome points.
Those are Archer Pods. They are Equivalent to a large barrage of Proton Torpedoes, and can quickly kill ships.
the acclamator actually does field fighters though, that being torrent V-19s. Look at the Clone Wars: Volume 1 from 2003. There's a huge space battle in which Anakin commands a squadrons of fighters from a acclamator assault ships.
Also what about the serafs? They're the covenant fighters. Extremely nimble and shielded.
3:43 that’s actually how halo ships make energy shields super powerful magnetic fields that practically vaporize solid objects like macs and it messes up the magnetic field of plasma weapons
