or if you compare pop count it would be more like 3 vultures with a remainder of 2 = a scarab. Vultures own it, actually  you only need two

A well microd scarab can beat two vultures

but has no chance against a well microed vultures. barrage and run. return and repeat=dead scarab  

and like i said pop equality and cost dictate a scarab = 3 vultures. i dont care how good your micro is, a retard could beat a scarab with 3

2-3 vultures mega barrage can take out a base instantly, your scarabs can go fu:)ck themselves.

Correction a base that has'nt been built on will be instantly destroyed if mega barraged a base with 3 and did hardly any damage too away maybe 1/4 of itsd health

It's official, straight from the mouth of an employee who works on Halo.

The Covenant eat planets.

4-5 mega for a full UNSC, 2 for a full no SG covie.

Obviously vultures would win in a straight fight, air is a soft counter to heavy armor.

 I like my scarabs though :]

How exactly would you micro a Scarab?

If anything well microed Vultures beat a Scarab.

Vultures even though scarabs are beasts most people counter scarabs easily, plus one vulture mega barrage upgraded takes half of the scarabs health and if you have like three they will destroy it before the scarab can bring one vulture to red. If no special Y abilities I would say scarab by far.

This breakdown isn't fair, as the Scarab doesn't have a "Y" ability and the Vulture does. If they both had "Y" abilities then it would be now better to compare.

.... 

That's one of the most retarded comments I've ever heard.

 ...

Anyways, it doesn't matter, the Y ability on vultures gives vultures a slight advantage, or you could argue that the vulture's rate of fire is so slow that an extra ability doesn't make a difference.

I pwnd 2 scarabs with a vulture, some grizzlys and and some cobras. But it probably helps that the second one fell off the light bridge at half health with my vulture almost dead. I was on Terminal Moraine

Sorry. I forgot to say that i went around and conquerd all of the covenants bases with my newly rebuilt vulture army. : )

Vulture by far. Because it flies and doesn't get stuck in the stupidest places and actually looks good while it flies, while the scarab isn't even the actual size and it's walking animations and path selection was very poorly done. Hell when it walks on cliffs its feet don't even touch the hill it glides over it, and somehow it always manages to get stuck in the units and just acts like a target that you hit. Especially when people drop ODST's around it and it gets stuck. Why it can't stomp on the ODST and kill them, I have no idea. Hell in Halo 3 you get crushed by the scarab yet it can't do anything in Halo Wars. And the fact that they shrunk it tremendously and made it look like a toy. And I personally think the scarab is just eye candy.

Korther is now officially on my stupid people's list.
