I am big Imperial fan, but I admit that Imperium can lose battles from all kind of foes.
But I never went so far to actually number the range, service record, materials used, crew number and operational and battle range of Imperial Cobra class torpedo boat.
I love sci-fi but some people take it to seriously...
Most people don't go as far as quoting figures but a lot of
40k fans have the same attitude. It would get to figures being quoted if any actually existed. Thankfully
40k fluff is vague and varies a lot so no definate answers exist. Thats the problem with all these vs threads- we can at best speculate because
40k doesn't give real life comparissons.
I do respect Canadian 5th's attempts to actually try and compare the two instead of the usual response which are usualy just pages of people picking the side they think is coolest.
