Yet they can only do multiple 911 like damage.

There was Nupetiet-Vergnitzs like ship in the first city bombardment.

It is partially canon. Aside from the character redesigns (Vritwhai for example, I am sure you note the difference in the original and the 'canon'. He had hair, now he no longer has hair when described in subsequent series), Meltran battleships from DYRL also became part of the canon. Moreover, Bodolza had a fortress in the original TV series as well, it was simply redesigned for DYRL's sake. Most of the mechanical designs when referring to the original now take cue from DYRL. We first begin seeing this in Macross 7.
I was referring to canon events or the story plot not the art.

Earth's grand canon event is missing in DYRL.
