If the MK 6 wasn't damaged by the turbines during the raid on the helicarrier, would Tony still use it during the battle of New York or just switch out with the MK 7 immediately upon returning to the Stark tower to confront Loki?

I would've used it all at full use of its capabilities up until MK 7 was fully completed ready for combat at 100%, rather than being at 70% or so + abandon MK 6 straight away and instead use it in the mean time until it does become damaged beyond further use... allowing the MK 7 to still remain mostly undamaged and prepared for the worst of the fighting up until the nuke comes by later.

That way he'd have two suits for combat at full power, rather than just one... MK 6 did well against the drones in the 2nd film and I'm sure that if it was undamaged from the carrier raid, it would still put up a really good fight till Tony calls for the MK 7 later... But in its original state after the carrier raid = Tony would be more of a sitting duck with MK 6 in the New York's battle.

Also, where the hell was James Rhodes with war machine during this time = he would've made a great impression working with Tony further if he was fighting alongside with the rest of the Avengers killing off the invading forces with all of his fancy machine guns on his own updated suit?
