Not arguing this point per-say, but by this line of reasoning, vehicles like the Hellcat and other 'glass cannon' TDs should presumably resist 122 mm rounds from the KV-1s. Armor and ballistics technology do not always scale together.   LordCommanderMilitant, on Jun 02 2014 - 19:04, said: As Forerunner anti-ship hardlight weapons are not 3500000 times more powerful than UNSC MACs, as they do not instantly vaporize the ships on impact, (when the energy of an impact is sufficiently massive, even if it is not heat based, the effects of the impact and spalling particles still results in effective vaporization), the comparison still stands, with the basic Imperial ship being far superior to the ships of Halo.    Do you perhaps have proof that Forerunner hardlight shields can’t resist Star Wars weapons, seeing as your ‘3,500,000 times more powerful’ claim has been debunked due to Disney revoking the I.C.S’s status as canon sources.   LordCommanderMilitant, on Jun 02 2014 - 19:04, said: Now we can note that the Forerunners are/were technologically inferior to the GE, and by most reckoning, numerically inferior as well, and all the current Halo races are inferior to the Forerunners in numbers and technology, the GE thus holds a decisive advantage in any military confrontation.      I assume you haven't read Halo: Cryptum, Halo: Primordium, or Halo Silentium? Well then, let me enlighten you on how a battle between the Forerunner Ecumene and the Galactic Empire and for that matter, all the factions of Star Wars will play out.   I said just now: The aftermath of a 'war' (if we can call it that), between the G.F.F.A and the Forerunner Ecumene will have the Ur-Didact and his Prometheans left slightly out of the breath, with the Forerunner's Bureau of Economic Analysis charting a barely noticeable peak and trough in G.D.P, correlating to the start and end of this 'war.'   By the end of this 'war,' should the Ecumene Council feel rather merciful, any Star Wars species raising the white flag of surrender will be stripped of their hyperdrives and deported to their original homeworld; there, they will remain quarantined until such time that the Council deems them fit to live in cooperation with the Mantle. Any race desiring to fight to the bitter, but inevitable, end, will suffer the consequences of defying the Mantle.   Formerly important delegates of these defiant species will be composed, and will find their 'glorious' race forcibly having their D.N.A devolved back by millions of years. In the end, what little art and culture left of a once 'space-faring' race will degrade into cave art. The devolved race will be left stranded on their homeworld to endure the ponderously slow and painful process of evolution once more.   However, tyrannical despots like Palpatine and Tarkin will be tried for the 'highest contempt against the Mantle and life itself,' and will be executed, provided that the Ur-Didact's suppressors haven't shut-off their brains already.   The situation of said 'war' (more like a gnat vs. an elephant) between the Ecumene and Star Wars would be much like the situation regarding Japan and the U.S during World War II. Daring to attack a 'sleeping giant' is a recipe for defeat.   Spoiler  Even Star Wars best feats, such as using the now non-canon Incredible Cross Sections yields, upper-quartile force feats for Jedi and Sith, and simultaneously using all the Galactic Empire's super-weapons (the Galaxy Gun, World Devastators, Death Star I/II, etc. will result in the Ecumene sustaining a bloody nose and a black eye.
