Okay, so in ME2 they say that Normandy SR-2 is too big to fly into atmosphere and that’s
why we need to use shuttle, but in ME3 trailers and walkthrough videos we can
clearly see Normandy 2 flying in planet’s atmosphere without any problems
(first in Earth’s atmosphere!!! and then in the atmosphere of that planet with
the Reaper base). How is this possible?


Is Bioware dumbing down the science and logic of the universe again just to
make the game look more "movie" like? It seems so to me. Don’t get me
wrong, it looks beautiful in the trailers, but it just doesn’t make sense. I
hope they at least explain it in the game by saying that Normandy had some
upgrades of kinetic barriers or something.

I think when the Alliance refitted the Normandy they probably gave it a more powerful drive core, one that would allow it fly in placeswith more gravity.

No. The Normandy SR-2 is too big to land on a planet. There's a difference.

If it couldn't enter atmosphere, then it couldn't land on Illium, which it did several times in ME2.

Better and bigger eezo core?

[Antivenger]

The SR-2 Normandy is able to fly in atmospheres. It's too large to land.

This.

We've seen the Normandy SR-2 in atmosphere before..right? Hm, trying to think if we have now that you mention it but it was always said it was too large to land, not to fly.

[LPPrince]

Yeah, as was said before, its too big to land. It can still fly in an atmosphere, obviously. Otherwise we wouldn't see it dropping the Kodiak so close to ground level.

[candidate88766]

Its too big to land in atmosphere, not too big to fly. We see it fly in atmoshpere on Illium, the Firewalker mission planets, several of the N7 mission planets and a couple of others.

Damn, ninja'd to the max.

Actually, where is it stated the SR2 could never land? The codex doesn't mention it.

In the
walkthrough video on Earth you can clearly see Normandy flying 3-4 meters above
ground as it pounds the Batarian husks attacking Shepard and Anderson. If
Normandy can get so close to a ground in such a speed, why it isn’t capable of
landing?

This, and let's not forget this is probably not the SR-2 anymore. Most likely the new and improved SR-3 which probably meant it got smaller

[LPPrince]

Well, I believe it may still be called the SR-2 but if it was "retro-fitted" and such and such, it may as well be called the SR-3.

And yeah, I imagine it may have been reduced in size back to a Stealth sized Frigate.

3-4 meters over a building.

Also, Collector Base.

If I had to guess I'd say it had to do with the extra power required to actually get off the ground. Staying in orbit, I assume, takes less power than actually being on the ground and lifting off. Though the exact lore revolving this subject is a little vague at best.

Still the same size. Just changed the interior and took off that stupid paint job... I mean Cerberus logo.

[DHellblazer]

And in ME2 Normandy SR-2 is landing on Illium, not just flying, so Bioware actually messed up this thing already in ME2. I think they should have just written that Normandy SR-2 just doesn't have the landing gear and so it can "only" hover above ground and not touch it.

Looks like some people need to re-read the codex before spewing hatred on how 2 and 3 have ruined the franchise.

I like this human! He understands!

[Elvis_Mazur]

Sovereign could, the Collector's ship could, why not the Normandy too? They probably upgraded it.

Because the mass effect fields are fighting the Earth's magnetic field/gravitational pull to keep it hovering like that. I'd imagine that's pretty stressful for the generators, unless the Alliance upgraded the core.

I can't imagine how they would manage to shrink the Hull.  The inside could be made smaller with false walls and such, but why would you do that?  Ships need to be self sufficient and space is always at a premium, you just dont waste it.

[FluffyScarf]

It's never stated in-game that landing was impossible.

[Antivenger]

Why would the SA shrink the new Normandy? (To those who think they would do so)

It docks on Illium.

EDIT: And also, in ME2, all the sidequests don't have enough open space for Normany to land, which is probably what they were referring to because, clearly it can land.

That's dumb and not possible in less then 2 months.

[Phaedon]

There is no case of actual landing in ME2, at best, they are docking in a very high altitude.
