    Technology What purpose would the Tank design in Fallout serve?

    Well...We never get any speed information from the tank. And a lot of Fallout pre-war military tech is actually still oil powered. Its only really the FO3 and 4 cars that are all nuclear. Even the Highwayman is simply electric, with options for microfusion cells to charge it up. Given it's...

    It's really not that big, if the Maus handled single tracks, this thing can too. And even if you did have to 'split' the tracks, you'd probably make each set identical in size for logistics, ease of maintenance, and general usability.

    Oh I know dual tracks can work, in the case of the T95 it was to make it easier to ship via rail/boat, because you could take the outer tracks off. And of course industrial machinery isn't going anywhere anytime quickly, so they have their own reasons for such setups. But the ones on the FO4...

    Technology What purpose would the Tank design in Fallout serve?

    Man looking at the FO4 tank, I have to ask myself what the fuck the two sets of tracks are for. The hull isn't segmented like some IRL armored vehicles, and each track isn't on it's own pod like the scorpion tank, so it's really just needless complexity for fucking zero reason. I mean I 'know'...

    Pretty much spot on, MBT-70 is the sort of thing the OG devs would've used for a 'state of the art fallout tank'.

    They do show up in Mechwarrior too (not sure how canon that is, considering even then it's only in some cutscenes and Mechwarrior 4 and 5's gameplay).

    IIRC reactor explosions are kinda rare in battletech, they 'do' happen but most of the time the reactor just shuts off and fizzles out. There is some pretty cool reactor explosions in the Mechwarrior 3 and Mechwarrior 5 (the OG mechwarrior 5, not the shitty one we got) trailers.

    Oh, lmao. Well considering fallout cars explode like nukes, yeah that is a good question, it even looks fallout-y.

    They didn't use it for several reasons, one major reason is that you would get an environmental disaster for every lost tank. Not much point fighting the Red Menace if you poison your own country in the process.

    The cast armor makes it look like a late 40's to 50's tank.

    Technology What purpose would the Tank design in Fallout serve?

    Its funny because there's an otherwise perfectly-normal Sherman in Fallout Tactics lmao. But to explain why the tank looks the way it does. Bethesda is under the impression that Fallout is "The 50's with super nuclear tech right after a nuclear war" When the truth is that Fallout is more...
