Problem is that war asset number wise, the cure is better than sabotage (assuming wrex lives).
Which is arse about face if you ask me.

Likewise as much as prefer the suit rats over the toasters, geth support should be much more valuable.

People almost unanimously agree that the war asset system doesn't really make sense point-wise, and arguably shouldn't be a reliable indicator of what logically would be more valuable. I use common sense largely when weighing the options.

You're being rude.

You fight fire with water. I'll handle the back burning situation.

The Geth assets were disappointing to say the least. The thing that gets me is how exactly are the quarians worth more? The krogan I can justify with their resilience and strength and breeding potential and WMDs. But the Geth should have the rest of their fleet, an air force, infantry and WMDs. The Quarians are only good at fighting Geth and not much else.

The Quarians were recruited for logistical support. That's what Hackett tells Shepard when he orders Shepard to meet with the Quarians. Logistics is a huge and decisive factor in a war. Just ask the Germans starving and freezing to death before the gates of Moscow in 1941.

Well, to be fair, the quarians were pummeling the geth before they willingly submitted to reaper control. If not for that, there would be no geth fleet at all. They're reduced even more if the heretics were destroyed, not to mention that their most powerful ship is destroyed no matter what.

Sabotaging the genophage with Wreav in charge and Eve alive gives more assets than having Wrex in charge and having the genophage cured. With Wreav, the player gets Salarian aid and no aid with Wrex in charge

The geth should be worth a lot more than quarians. The geth can be on the ground fighting. They don't require rest, food and the other stuff that organics require. Without the code, the geth are useless since the quarians were defeating them before the reapers put the geth under their control.

The quarians are only good for fighting from orbit, not any type of a frontline attack according to Ka'Reegar

Most of which no longer matters with their reaper upgrades which they use to smash the Quarians in their entirety if you chose this path.

To be fair the Reapers themselves are insanely poweful sentient starships, making direct ship-to-ship combat a bigger priority compared to retaking occupied ground territory than it would otherwise be.

Yes fighting the reapers in space is crucial and depending on what attacks are used, can make a difference. I would not fight them in a head-on battle. But it wouldn't matter in the end. The reapers win by numbers alone.

 

Having ground troops fighting the reapers and the uglies can make a large difference depending on how its done. Why not attack the processing ships? Why not attack the troop transport ships?  If the hades cannon can be destroyed easily, why can't the transport ship and processing ship be destroyed just as easy? They don't have the same defenses as a destroyer or a capital ship. The population of Ilium attacked the troop transport ships, from ground side, instead of firing at the capital ships delaying the invasion

The Quarians are only worth more if you destoryed the Heretics in ME2, otherwise the Geth are worth more.

Fair point.

But the Geth appear to be the superior force even without them.

In theory this could draw capital ships out of orbit to combat ground troops Harbinger and the beam run for example. That would be helpful for the fleets.
