[Halo] Are Spartan IVs superior to Spartan IIIs?

I have a friend who is currently in the UNSC and he is being evaluated for augmentation to become a Spartan. He keeps telling me that the new breed of Spartan is superior to the previous generation. He even tells me most of the previous gen are KIA because they were inferior. Is there any truth to this or is he bullshitting me because he is going to be part of this generation of Spartans?

Short answer: No.

While SIVs are selected from the top tier special forces. For Example, ODSTs. Spartan IIIs were trained brutally from a *very* young age.

The Augmentations are different, but have similar, albeit less effective results.

But the SIVs do have superior armour to make up for it.
