Why are Wraiths so bad?

Halo 3, the wraiths where amazing and almost killed you everytime on legendary.

But halo wars they are so under powered, i read somewhere they where ment to be the equal part of the scorpian, same goes with the ghost, compared to its cunterpart, te warthog is so much better.

I think its just a bit unbaanced from previous halo games how units are not as strong as they should be.

Wraiths are primarily a anti-building tank so if you're using them against vehicles you won't get far.. hunters are the covenants anti-vehicle unit. Of course the wraith does well against vehicles in Halo 3 but in a RTS game a little thing called balance has to be taken into account, or you would see spartans wiping out entire covenant armies online.

It's a little thing called counter-balance. It's just to make the game fair...

The balance that the UNSC have in their vehicles is found in the Covenants infantry units. This is probably because Spartans can hi-jack vehicles, so looking at a Covies vs. UNSC battle, having the most powerful and game-winning units as stealable units would be bad for gameplay. That's probably also why wraiths cost less (I think) in comparison to Scorpions. You can have more, so the Spartans annoying steally-thingy won't have as much of an effect. I'm not sure if Wraiths do cost less, I think they only take 2 pop instead of three?

Wraiths weak against:
-Vehicles
-Air units

Wraiths own:
-Infantry
-Buildings

Hope that helps. But honestly I hate wraiths. Most people don't build infantry and to get to enemy buildings you usually have to go through armies. So generally bad unit... despite its balancing. Their special attack also is bad.

Halo 3's Wraiths were shit though..
The way you need to aim them is retarded it reminds me of Gunbound, and the shot goes so slowly, and so infact does the vehicle!
Overall shite.
