50 pop wraiths if i remember correctly (actually 48) which is equal to 16 wraith tanks vs 10 scorpion tanks both fully upgraded scorpion tanks win with 5 left and all but one or 2 have a significant amount of hps left.
500 x 10 = 5000 suplies 350 x 16 = 5600 supplies 16 wraiths are 12% more expansive then 10 scorpions
with the rules for the covenant to be 10-20% worst then their unsc counter part for the same price due to the fact that wraith are 12% more expensive than scorpions the expected result before testing should leave the winner with only 1-2 (wraith) tanks left. however the the test showed 5 scorpion tanks remaining therefore wraith tanks are not up to par and could use an improvement some where.
In the video the wraith tanks did have a fairly significant number of misses against the moving scorpion tanks. through playing the game i have noticed that wraith tanks against a standing target have very reasonable accuracy. therefore a simple increase in the % accuracy will not work. because of this i propose an increase in the plasma morters projectile speed (the movement speed of the shot)
wether or not this is possible i don't know and if it is possible it maybe to much work.
numbers for a PT scorpion vs a plasma wraith (asuming 100% accuracy)
wraith 20068 hp dps 326 (vs heavy armor) scorch 178.75 per scond for 10 seconds (1787.5 total) (vs heavy armor)
scorpion 18448 hp dps 361 (vs heavy armor) canister 3250 instant (vs heavy armor)
20068/361 = 55.6 seconds (how long a wraith will survive vs one PT not using canister)
18448/326 = 56.6 seconds (how long a PT tank will survive)
55.6/56.6 = .982 or 98.2% a wraith tank without the use of the Y ability is 98.2% as good as a scorpion
1787.5/3250 = .55 or 55% scorch does 55% of the damage canister does and over time (the over time part is a down side)
idon't know the recharge time for the scorch and canister abilities so it is not calculated in the dps
doing these calculations tells me that better accuracy is as of now the only thing wraith tanks need.
and as stated above i would increase the projectile speed of the wraith tanks main gun. which would not increase it's ability vs standing objects but would help the wraith vs moving targets which is were the problems for the wraith tanks are.
i'm a little shocked with how good the wraith turned out to be so it might very well be an error so if you can check my work
