In other words: Energy Shields offer no protection to biological weaponry. Halo energy shields is Always active, it dosen't let slow moving projectiles go through it, this is why you see materials and ash being pushed through an invisible force-field. You are kind of mistaking energy shields for Kinetic Barriers. Just want to know how long those chem-weapons would damage those shields.

To be fair it is kind of a win/lose situation with Covie and Imperial Vehicles. IoM vehicles such as the Lemun Russ would do some serious damage to a Wraith, but the Plasma Mortar of the Wraith is going to turn it into slag. I think it just depends on the skill of both drivers, do you agree :- / ?
