Talk:Paris-class heavy frigate

Edits
I have changed "is able to hold its own against smaller Covenant capital ships..." to just Covenant warships because I wouldn't say a Corvette is a capital ship.

Armaments
If you look closely at the model of the Heavy Frigate you can see Archer Missile Pods similar to these, I think we should add these to the list of armaments despite the fact that we have not seen them in action.--Kaphraxus 18:56, January 7, 2011 (EST)

I am going to go ahead and add Archer Missiles to the armaments section.--Kaphraxus 21:45, October 26, 2012 (EST)

UNSC Grafton, UNSC Saratoga and UNSC Savannah's infoboxes all list 3 Shiva warheads amongst their armament (seemingly based on presumption), yet Paris-class infobox does not list 3 Shiva warheads. Add Shiva warheads to Paris-class infoxbox or deduct them from the aforementioned named ships' infoboxes? Given a lack of response, I'll add it to the Paris-class. Makes sense, after all.

UNSC Paris
Wonder if they intended the frigate to be the ship that named the class. It's obviously possible the original Paris was already decommissioned and the name was given to a ship of another class, but it certainly seems very convenient to be a coincidence. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 15:18, 21 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Considering the Paris-class was first seen in 2552, it's very likely that the Frigate Paris assigned to the Home Fleet is the leadship of the class.
 * By "leadship", I presume you actually mean flagship, right? 'Cause technically the term "leadship" isn't actually a word...or you could also just mean the prototype, which would work a lot better than either previous words. Xamikaze330 00:30, 10 July 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

Actually Lead Ship is the correct term when referring to the first vessel of a class. A flagship on the other hand is a vessel used by the Senior Officer Commanding of a group of ships and has nothing to do with vessel classification. As to whether the mention of the UNSC Paris in Ghosts of Onyx was deliberate or just happy coincidence is uncertain. --Precipice66 17:43, 24 October 2011 (EDT)

Pelicans?
When and where was it confirmed that this class could carry pelicans, or for that matter, any single ships at all? I've never seen any launched from it in the campaign of Reach, so unless it states otherwise in the Visual Guide, that info should be removed. pestilence  Phil,  pestilence!  20:23, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

It's an extrapolation from this being a larger vessel than the Stalwart-class and that ship has been shown to carry Pelicans. Where they fit is another matter...the side cargo hatches are too small... ScaleMaster117 (talk) 19:04, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

Proper capitalization
Being the nit-picker I am, I think it's kind of out of the ordinary for the title to be lower case after Paris-class. Just thought I'd point that out and suggest the proper capitalization of the title. :P Tetrapex 06:07, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Not really. We use the "class name capitalised, all else lower case" naming system for all our ship class articles.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 07:17, 9 July 2011 (EDT)


 * "Paris-class heavy frigate" is capitalized correctly. In reality, only the proper name in a ship's class is capitalized. The description - in this case, "heavy frigate" - is written in lower case. For example, it is "Iroquois-class destroyer", not "Iroquois-class Destroyer". --Courage never dies. 23:30, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

# of Point Defense Guns
It says 12 on the page, but there are 20 in the images. Hyper Zergling 01:40, 4 October 2011 (EDT)


 * I can see only six on one side, so multiply that by two, we should get twelve. Where are the other four? TheGutsyChipmunk 18:15, 24 October 2011 (EDT)


 * I know it has the twelve on it's port and starboard "wings". But I don't know about the other four, but I could swear that, flying by the Savannah in "Long Night" that it had a pair of tail guns: one dorsal, one ventral, situated between the engines. --WTRiker 13:39, 29 October 2011 (EDT)


 * The point defense guns on the 3D model are added or removed based on the resolution of the model and if it can save memory resources in the game. If all the point defense guns are loaded, the Paris-class has 12. There's 3 on each side of the dorsal flanks and 2 each on the ventral side of the flanks. There's a dorsal and ventral facing aft between the engines. That equals 12. The Savannah is the only one to have them all loaded in game memory at once. The Grafton and Saratoga don't have the aft one loaded, nor the dorsal flanks, only the underside guns are there firing at the Covenant. The frigates outside the Anchor-9 multiplayer map only have upper flank ones on the side facing the station. The Earth-side point defense guns are not loaded into game memory. Similarly, the Covenant corvette has several of the mini point defense guns used on the Phantom Gunboat and the number varies with the difficulty setting.

Hey I just changed the amount of point defense turrets on the page from 12 to 16. If you look at the picture third group down and two in your see on the Savannah a turret on the top back near the engines firing. https://www.halopedia.org/File:UNSC_Savannah_Firing.jpg Taking that you would have one under and two in the same place on the other engine, So 16 instead of 12. --Time Flex September 6, 2017
