:I would think, shortening "Dropship" to "D" would be beneficial as it matches the previous incarnations (D77 etc.) so have it as D79 Heavy etc.--[[Special:Contributions/94.170.227.166|94.170.227.166]] 22:08, 29 October 2012 (EDT) | :I would think, shortening "Dropship" to "D" would be beneficial as it matches the previous incarnations (D77 etc.) so have it as D79 Heavy etc.--[[Special:Contributions/94.170.227.166|94.170.227.166]] 22:08, 29 October 2012 (EDT) | ||
==Appearance in Forward Unto Dawn == | |||
Does anyone else think that the appearance of the D79 in Halo: Forward Unto Dawn (which takes place in 2526) could be an example of artistic license? It would explain why the post-war emblem was used on the D79 in the series - in order to save themselves some effort, the filmmakers just used the more updated Halo 4 pelican in lieu of the older versions. That would also explain why all of the Covenant troops shown in the series resemble their Halo 4 incarnations (which would also make their appearances examples of artistic license) | |||
Of course, it is also reasonable to assume that the D79 was used toward the beginning of the Human-Covenant War and then only used after its conclusion, but I think that would be more unlikely[[User talk:SPARTAN-347|SPARTAN-347]] 19:26, 3 November 2012 (EDT) | |||
:When talking about the use of the MA5D, I believe they said something to the effect that they're using the Halo 4 stuff to show the connection to that game. Similar to how every MA5 on the PoA is a "B", there are none anywhere during the events of Halo 2, and all of the ones seen during Halo 3 are the "C". So, yeah, basically artistic license.

According to that picture in the gallery, it will be. Out of curiosity, where did that come from? [[User talk:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] 21:16, 3 November 2012 (EDT) | |||

== How do you use the rail turrets? == | |||
I have used the turrets but they seem to be gun turrets or machine gun turrets and I have used the cannon but how so you use the rail guns on the pelican | |||

:::The Pelican doesn't have a "railgun turret". The "rail turrets" in the armament section of the infobox are the two machine gun turrets that are on each side of the Pelican. Basically, that's already what you used, Spartan Matt. On a side note, these two turrets and the cannon (which is a bit like the Scorpion's one) are only usable in co-op.

==Gunship Variant== | |||
With there being two types of classifications of this Pelican, will it still be combined or separated? This article refers only to the Halo 4 Pelican, not Pelicans in general. The gunship's designation is G79 as opposed to a dropship's designation of D79. Should that warrant separating it into its own category or should all Pelicans be in one article? -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 07:41, 18 September 2013 (EDT) | |||
:It's true that the gunship is different enough in both designation and features to warrant its own article. It's probably listed on the same page because we had a lot less info when we started this page and it seems to have stuck as a sort of general article for the ''Halo 4''-era Pelicans. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 09:02, 18 September 2013 (EDT) | |||

:::Okay, so I assume y'all want me to do it, since I got the book ahead of time (but I suspect by now most of you have obtained it already), or that I'm the one who has the most time to do it. Which I can understand. I do have a lot of time on my hands. And I was planning on doing it.

:(''reset indent'') '''UPDATE''': Okay, so nobody beat me to the punch, so I did it, now it's done. May need some expansion, and the current article will definitely need to be changed, with most of the information on the gunship variant being carried over to the new article, and then the section purged and rewritten. Then I think it will be mostly complete. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 17:38, 23 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330 | |||
