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

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.

Pretty sure you can ask EDI if you go down to the lower level of this ship where you can look through a window at the shuttle. Shepard will ask why they need and a shuttle when the old Normandy didn't....yada yada yada.FluffyScarf wrote...
Actually, where is it stated the SR2 could never land? The codex doesn't mention it.

Briefly flying close to the surface and landing aren't actually the same thing. A ship the size of the Normandy 2 (which, incidentally, still isn't all that big in the grand scheme of things) probably could put down and take off again, given sufficient space and a relatively flat surface. Backwater planets, active volcanoes and wreckage-strewn ruins of destroyed cities generally lack that sort of thing. Docking platforms don't.

The Alliance might feel a smaller ship is quicker and more mobile, a necessity against the much larger Reapers.
You saw how the Destiny Ascension got torn up(it survived my games, at least). The Normandy was weaving all around those Reaper attacks and delivered the killing blow.
Makes some sense.
Quicker? The SR-2 is an improvement from the original model, larger eezo core and better engine would allow it greater speeds in both normal and FTL travel.LPPrince wrote...

The Normandy can land on Earth no problem, as EDI tells you due to the Normandys size it only cannot land on HIGH gravity worlds. How much higher than 1 G the gravity has to be to count as high is of course open to debate, Illium has 1.2 G and the Normandy had no problem docking there. It even makes the whole landing thing a bit of a non-issue since no place in ME2 has a much higher gravity anyway.
The Kodiak is still required since quite a lot of the places you visit have neither enough room for the Normandy nor the 30-100 meters required to land the Mako.

It's mentioned in ME1. The bigger and more powerful the Eezo core, the more **** it can do.FluffyScarf wrote...
As someone previously mentioned, if Sovereign can land, then so can the SR2. So it's not a contradiction in 2 or 3. Unless they admit ME1 got it wrong. But ME1 is perfect and has no holes at all right?

How did the Mako get back to the Normandy in ME1 ?

Isn't there even an alliance cruiser in the atmosphere that gets destroyed wich causes Shepard fall down in the demo?
The new normandy has twice the size of SR-1 if I remember correct, so the problem would be more to find an open space to land not to enter the atmosphere, what the SR-2 already does on Illium and on some Firehawke missions.

Seeing as we didn't have the Mako, the lack of Mako landing space is sort of a non-issue, no? Unless you mean if they made the SR-2 smaller and thus we still need the Kodiak for certain places.
I wish The Mako came back in ME3. It won't(I'll bet, since they said vehicle stuff is being toned down) but yeah, I can dream.

Making the SR-2 smaller is ridiculous and pretty much as difficult as building a new ship, if the Alliance would think the SR-2 is a liability they would simply give Shepard a SR-1 type ship. They have at the very least one other ship of its type finished by the time of ME2 with probably more in the making. Also you do not cover for your weaknesses by reducing your strengths.
I only brought the Mako up to make it more obvious the Kodiak or a similar vessle is needed.
The Normandy is not the only ship of her class that the Alliance has constructed. A Citadel NewsNet broadcast in Mass Effect 2 references a 'Normandy-class' stealth frigate, the SSV Ain Jalut, used by the Alliance to launch a raid upon a batarian colony world.
