Talk:Type-26 Banshee

If the banshee is propelled by the two things on the sides of its wings, how do they still fly when those things are shot off?

Space flight
It says in the article that the Banshee is capable of space flight but what happens if an Elite flys into space wearing normal armour? In Halo: CE, the pilot lies down and if Master Chief pilots one, you can see his feet. Since normal-armoured elites have an open part in their armour, doesn't that mean an Elite must be wearing Ranger armour to properly fly in space?

A Banshee has no enclosed atmosphere, so you would need a vacuum suit to operate it in space. However, I remember in one of the books (possibly Fall of Reach?) that the Banshee is mentioned to have a flight ceiling of something like 500 meters. This means the Banshee wouldn't be able to make it into space under its own steam. It also starts to break down the whole idea of a Banshee flying in space.. don't think about it too much.

In Halo 2 there is a cinematic where some Bungies are flying in formation above High Charity, not in High Charity's atmosphere but in space. Ni9lson 14:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Rename?
I know you guys are tired of renaming/merging/deleting by now, and I know I'm not one to talk, but has anyone considered renaming the article to "Covenant Banshee" and have a disambution-whatever-it's-spelled page for "Banshee" that can link to both the "Covenant Banshee" and the "Heretic Banshee"? If not, whatever. Just a harmless and peaceful thought. --B le mo http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK • CONTRIBUTIONS • BLACKROCK COMPANY •  THE SOURCE OF SPAM 02:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Speed
How fast can these babyz go or does any one know if there faster than the hornet?

A hornet trots, a banshee canters, and a boosting banshee gallops.

weird
I noticed while playing The Covenant, as I was piloting the Hornet and a Banshee shot its fuel-rod cannon at me. It missed, but it went around me and just went away. Is that due to the homing capability? Kap2310 20:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hijacking
The article states that in Halo 3 it is possible to fly a banshee during the campaign albeit you must hijack one. However, my every attempt does not give me the option. By using a plasma pistol it is easy to bring a banshee down to my level, but I can't hijack it. Is it the same as the anti-air wraith: can be hijacked if you kill the pilot in the same instant, is it impossible, or am I just inept? 71.171.113.155 03:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
