The military tactics.No nukes of any kind despite most modern day nukes reaching and many surpassing yields of 2-15 megatons (2-15 thousand kilotons and higher) while ME dreadnought main guns hit with a force of 38 kilotons with Reaper main guns hitting with 150-450 kilotons per shot.
TODAY we have nukes that put out a hell of a lot more energy than ME "heavy" guns, with the added effect of EMP in the blast that might play hell with Reaper systems. Radiation would sure as hell hurt their ground troops since they are part organic.FTL could possibly be used as a weapon itself. Accelerate an object to those velocities and it will hit with INCREDIBLE force. Bypassing safety mechanisms is difficult, but as at least one Codex entry stated not impossible. Imagine a Cain round accelerated using the Normandy's FTL drive.
Hell imagine the damage an ordinary frigate could do with it's mass and that velocity!Boarding actions could destroy a Reaper from inside alot easier than with conventional ship weapons. Commando team gets in, deploys several tactical nukes, get's the hell out, blow that bastard apart from the inside.
There's alot more I could spit on but this is what was foremost in my mind.
I wish someone could point out in the game how stupid everyone's
tactics are. Why do they spend so much effort fighting indoctrinated
husks and other things when the Reapers' big vulnerability is that they
only produce a few Reapers per cycle. Focus on the Reapers... the
capital Reapers especially through any means. Those loses are irreplaceable for the Reapers whereas they have an unlimited supply of husks. How many Reaper ships could there possibly be? Hundreds of Sovereign sized vessels? Thousands of the 160 meter ones? At least there are finite numbers as opposed to billions and billions of husks and cannibals
Also to me it makes more sense that you would take that enormous fleet at the end to Palaven then to Thessia then to Tuchunka so that the pressure would be completely relieved so they all can fuly commit to attack Earth. It makes no logical sense that the Turians would abandon defending their home to attack Earth. I think that this is a huge flaw in the writing. It would have made more sense if only the humans and batarians get hit initially and the other civilizations want to prepare and defend theor won borders but are not getting hit. Then Shepherd must convince them to go on the offense and get in the game before it is too late. That would make more sense from a story telling perspective. But Palaven is literally being attacked by HUNDREDS of Reapers and is on FIRE. It is not reasonable that the Turians would abandon it. Logically, why should Earth get a special privilege especially when we've established that the Turians are stronger militarily and the Asari are the most populous race in the galaxy?
