As for the airforce: I am not too educate in the Imperiums airforce other than it follows the same standard as most of their normal forces: Strength in numbers. So I cannot answer that.

Wait but apparently in all of the Halo sources, it has been described that the energy shields are always up and that it creates a force-field around the user defending it from all harmful material, only generating the coloured light when enough stress is put up on it. A bit iffy if you ask me.

Funnily enough, Covie air-force also operate in numbers... I actually think in my opinion that Vampires are going to be the bane of all Imperial planes. The stasis beam not only drains their power but also render all electronics and weaponary useless, furthermore the drained power reverts back to the Vampire and heals it from damage, and when its done draining the entire aircraft goes BOOM.

Also what is your most favourite WH40K race? I say that because then I would know why you have less knowlege about the Imperium.
