It is currently unknown, as to how the Sparrowhawk performs. [http://www.halowars.com/Media.aspx Released footage] shows it to be at least as fast and agile as a [[Pelican Dropship]], though it never uses its weaponry. It's described as being designed for engaging enemy ground armor, so its air-to-air capabilities remain unknown, if it even has any. It is likely that it fills a role similar to the modern day [[Wikipedia:A-10 Thunderbolt II|A-10 Thunderbolt II]] [[Wikipedia:Close Air Support|Ground Attack Aircraft]]. It can be seen at the beginning of the Halo Wars E3 demo, flying with a group of [[Pelicans]]. It can be speculated that it mounts a gauss cannon because it emits a beam similar to that of a gauss cannon on a warthog from a recent screen shot. | It is currently unknown, as to how the Sparrowhawk performs.

The addition of the [[Hornet]] to the game, and the introduction of the [[Vulture]] gunship, was thought to indicate that the Sparrowhawk had either been cut from the game, or its purpose has been retooled. Recent screenshots, however, revealed that the Sparrowhawk is still a playable unit <ref>http://kotaku.com/photogallery/halowarsnov17/1004655613?viewSize=thumb800x800</ref>. | The addition of the [[Hornet]] to the game, and the introduction of the [[Vulture]] gunship, was thought to indicate that the Sparrowhawk had either been cut from the game, or its purpose has been retooled.
