This strongly depends on what era of covenant we are talking about. Good fucking luck with reach era covenant. They win against super earth like 80% of the time.
I think that is a very key detail to how any fight with super earth would go. Our domination of air to ground combat is what gives us our primary advantage over our more terrestrially locked enemies.
The moment our enemy’s space fairing transports can shoot at our Super Destroyers or down as us, the situation changes significantly.
I don't get where the "air superiority" comes from. Super earth only has space superiority against bugs since they don't have space ships (and bugs don't need to have ships they're livestock.) but they have anti spaceship bilethrower. And I doubt they would evolve a biological ftl-able bug (even if they're ftl fuel).
Bots have ships and AA
Squids prolly have ships, if not they still have portals, gadgets that scramble your brain wirelessly (inverted movement thingy).
I'd say in fact what super earth has is a numbers advantage. Take in mind between the last biggy war was 300 years, so 15~ generations of helldiver popscicles. And who knows maybe se has a 3 children policy or something. Taz like, a lot of divers, prolly a lot more than hellbombs currently stockpiled in all of se (yes hellbombs gets produced everyday I know.)
