Maybe they would, but this is irrelevant. You need as much firepower in as shorter time-span as possible, focused on Sovy. Losses are irrelevant.
Again, that's assuming the firepower you have can harm it, and the game gives you every reason to believe
you can't.
Not ot mention that if hte geth turn ot face the humans, then the council fleet cna attack them from behind.
Or you could try to coordinate the battle with your allies, since you are dependant on them in any case. Really it's just common sense.
The ship seen at the citadel are some turian cruisers, the DA and a what I think are salarian cruisers...hard to tell.
If you have a source for that please share, otherwise I assume you just made that up. And in the cutscene you see Turian warships filling the sky as far as the eye can see.Sovereign is supposed to be larger then any known ship and appears to be about 5-6 size of the Turian warship ramming it. Which I took to as an indication that it's some kind of capital ship.
That's bogus. Does Washington DC have the biggest military presence? Nope.
Military forces are spread based on where you think they should be. No one belived Saren could reach hte Citadel, so there was no need to keep a large force there.
It's a very common theme in SF that homeworlds, wormholes etc are defended by large fleets of capital ships,
their job isn't to patrol but establish dominance in the heart of the space empire. The reason is that you never will have warning if a large fleet goes for a sneak attack. Like the Geth just did.
And where do you think capital ships should be? In empty space unable to respond to any attack? Also remember Vigil? Shepard says that “the reaper can take out the council and the citadel fleet in a single surprise attack”.
He seems very concerned over this. Like if the citadel fleet was very large and the loss of it would be a devastating. And Vigil says “such were our fate”.
In hindsight this is also confirmed, since in the renegade backstabbing version the council races losses in the battle were so severe that they decided to hand over the political power to the humans.
And b.t.w - the DA was heavily damaged..otherwise they wouldn't calling for aid. To assume it would take care of sovereign is wrong. Even if you save hte DA, do you ever see it attacking the Sovereign? nope, it's nowhere to be seen.
When it calls for aid it's say that their Kinetic barriers is down 40%, and main drives offline Given what you know about how shields works, there is no reason to assume it suffered any damage at all.
And really they don't make cutscenes for everything you know, especially those that only paragon would see.
In Arrival, Admiral Hackett tells Shepard that “it took multiple fleets and the Destiny's Ascension to destroy Sovereign”, he does this even in a renegade playthrough so we can only assume the DA's main gun hit it on the way in.
irrelevant for the decision of course, but supporting those ships with overwhelming firepower who are designed to combat capital ships seems more strategically sound to me then go in with insufficent force, cowboy style, like a renegade.
Sovereign is inside the Citadel, Da is outside, with engines donw. Hence, USELSSS in the fight against Sovy.
Every ship is outside the arms, and if you know that you can't attack Sovy in any case engaging the Geth is a no brainer, but the game doesn't give you that information before you make the choice.
The DA:s main drive was offline, which suggests it has secondary power systems, nothing is said about the engines. If you save it you will notice that it still can propel itself, in either case this irrelevant when you make the decision to abandon it you have no indication that its not combat effective, the fact that the Geth focus on it is big hint that they still fear it.
