Despite all of this firepower, however, UNSC warships during the Human-Covenant War had great difficulty in defeating Covenant ships even with a numerical advantage. It typically took multiple hits from a ship-based MAC weapon to disable a Covenant ship's shields, although larger, [[Orbital Defense Platform|ODP-based]] "Super MACs" fire a round that can literally shatter Covenant capital ships.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 297''</ref> Archer missiles had to be used in tremendous volumes to breach Covenant shield systems. Even with their shields down, Covenant ships have been noted to remain operational after multiple direct hits from normal MAC rounds. Throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]], this advantage in firepower and shielding gave the Covenant an effective 3:1 ratio when in battle against the UNSC. However, as of the [[Timeline|post-war era]], thanks to Forerunner technology and the [[Huragok]] retrieved from [[Onyx]], UNSC ships have become faster and stronger, making them more effective against Covenant vessels. | Despite all of this firepower, however, UNSC warships during the Human-Covenant War had great difficulty in defeating Covenant ships even with a numerical advantage.
