Talk:B-65 Shortsword

Well, it looks like that info was removed, so no need for this anymore.

Where's said it's only atmospheric craft? Oh and new gameplay footage makes clear that the Shortswords are launched from Spirit of Fire, from orbit, thus they must be able to fly in space too.

Long Sword interceptors were used during the battle of chi cheti IV
Somebody has stated that the short sword might well be the predocessor of the longsword. However the time line of halo wars and the battle of chi cheti IV are about the same. At that battle they used a squadron of longswords to bomb the covenant ship while the shields were down before hitting it with a shiva nuke. Read the book the fall of reach. The longswords have been around for a long time. I do not think the shortsword is the predecessor but rather a variant of the longsword serving a more specialised purpose.
