With current human technology, UNSC frigates are barely considered a match for even the smallest of Covenant warships. It is outclassed even by smaller Covenant ships, its armor is susceptible to enemy point-defense [[Pulse laser turret|pulse lasers]] and [[Plasma turret|plasma torpedoes]], and it is outfitted with substandard weaponry. Only ''en masse'' does the UNSC frigate give any UNSC fleet element an advantage against even inferior numbers of Covenant [[capital ship]]s. | With current human technology, UNSC frigates are barely considered a match for even the smallest of Covenant warships.

The frigate's speed and maneuvering advantage, however, allow UNSC frigates to provide fire support to other UNSC fighter craft such as [[YSS-1000 Sabre]]s or [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s and engage both multiple enemy single ship fighters like [[Type-27 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Banshee interceptors]] or [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Seraphs]] and light enemy warships simultaneously; its speed allows it to put down fire on an enemy ship while being able to avoid a large amount fire from largely superior [[Plasma turret|Covenant weaponry]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> | The frigate's speed and maneuvering advantage, however, allow UNSC frigates to provide fire support to other UNSC fighter craft such as [[YSS-1000 Sabre|Sabre]]s or [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword]]s and engage both multiple enemy single ship fighters like [[Type-27 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Banshee interceptors]] or [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Seraphs]] and light enemy warships simultaneously; its speed allows it to put down fire on an enemy ship while being able to avoid a large amount fire from largely superior [[Plasma turret|Covenant weaponry]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> | ||
