== Some Major Statistical Discrepancies == | |||
Just some general issues I've noticed about stats in a few articles: | |||
1) Somehow the Ghost is said to weight more than twice as much as a Brute Chopper (2.25 tons vs. 1.1 ton). There is simply no way this is true. No possible explanation, the Ghost cannot be heavier than a Chopper. The Chopper's weight must be far higher than it is, if it can trash a Warthog so thoroughly simply by crashing into it, and just judging from the size and the appearance of the vehicle. | |||
2) Hunters are recorded as weighing over 5 tons, again more than twice as heavy as a Warthog, which is still able to run them over easily without taking damage, when in reality, the Warthog would most likely be trashed and the Hunter would come out on top in a collision. It seems doubtful to me that Hunters would actually be that heavy. | |||
3) The Banshee's "maximum speed" is recorded as 100 km/h, far, far too slow for an aircraft. The Warthog is capable of greater speeds than that. This number is clearly not meant to be a maximum speed at all, and yet it's presented as one. The Banshee's speed is repeatedly emphasized throughout the games, literature, and other Halo media, but using this value it would be a turtle compared to any other aircraft in the air. A dropship can manage a better speed than that. | |||
The problem is, as these numbers seem to come straight from Bungie, they're untouchable according to Halopedia policy. I'm wondering if we can stick something in the trivia sections for these articles about how there's controversy over the stats on these. | |||
