erickyboo:Do you guys think that they can be used in space? They would be faster in space and they still have good armament.
Halopedia says:
Halopedia: "It is possible that the Vulture is a spacecraft, seeing as it descends from space when it is summoned to the battlefield in Halo Wars. It may also be faster in space, but this remains unknown. It is possible that the pilots limit their speed while in atmosphere because of the stress it could cause to the Vultures hull or that they are much more likely to hit and destroy something, especially since it's going through the atmosphere, so it would go really fast. However, it could simply be because that everything travels faster in space, including Pelicans. "
I believe that they can also be spacecraft, but I don't know what role they would play. Their autocannons are too innaccurate to damage fast moving targets, so I suppose you could field dozens of them and just hammer away at the Covenant shields until they collapse. An Orbital Missile strike could be useful, I suppose.
Here is a sick picture of a Vulture taking on a Scarab. Note the Vulture PWN cannons!
