That's a two way street, man.
Arachnids are bigger and harder to put down, and next to impossible to miss.
Xeno's are faster and easier to put down, but they are hard to hit due to their speed/stealth.
And no, an Arachnid is not worth 15 bugs. 4-5 tops. Let's say a group of 4-5 Xenos attack a lone arachnid. Sure, the arachnid is gonna kill the first couple easily, but the acid spray is gonna hinder it and the rest are gonna swarm it. Dead arachnid.
hell, Vasguez was killing Xenos with a simple sidearm, you try that with a Bug and you're going to end up skewered more times than naught
And so what that Vasquez used her sidearm? What was she supposed to do, sit there and spread eagle and wait for the DP? She was out of ammo, dude.
So maths:37 x 15 = 555, Rico killed the equivalent of 555 Xenos. But that's still lowballing, since the mega-beetle he killed would easily be worth 1,000+ Xenos. So Rico killed the equivalent of 1,555+ Xenos. Go J. Rico!
J. Rico pwns again via maths
Lol, no. An arachnid, as I said, easily kills the first few Xenos that swarm it, but the acid blood takes it toll, and the arachnid goes down after it gets no more than a half dozen kills.
See, it's easy when you have a dozen people or so standing next to you, all firing at the same time at the same Arachnid. A Xenomorph? Too fast. Too agile. If the battle of Klendathu had been thousands of Xenos, Rico would have died horribly. As he lay there blasting away with his shotgun, the acid spray would take his face off.
And you keep ignoring:
1. Motion sensors. The CM will know where all the MI are at all times. It's like a constant Orbital VSAT.
2. Smart guns: No way in hell the MI have a weapon that can match smart guns.
3. Close quarters combat? Lol, if it goes CQC, the CM have secondary weapons such as pistols, and flamethrowers.
4. Noob tube: The CM have under barrel grenade launchers. The MI do not.
5. The MI's fighting style is literally advancing in a line, revolutionary war style.
So yeah, your "fact smash" is epic fail. And you have provided no counter for points 1-5 I have just posted.
So in the end, yes, be mad.
