Transportation in the world of Fallout

In the good old f1, f2, and FT, as many probably remember, there was a variety of tech. Both 'living' and 'dead'. In this mini-article, I want to familiarize you with the 'living' technology from the originals and some developments of the fan movement.

Fallout

Let's start from the beginning. The Fallout trailer. Corvega.

Corvega - the child of the new world without liquid fuel. Automotive engineering in the mid-21st century faced a huge problem: how to get people to buy cars if fuel costs more than the car? Correctly, find a new source of energy for your "iron monsters". Such a source became "portable" nuclear energy sources. Expensive and fierce.

The main and, perhaps, the only mode of transport in the Wasteland during the era of the first Fallout: brahmin + cart.

Brahmin - a dual-sex warm-blooded herbivorous viviparous mammal. One of the largest animals in the Wasteland. Weight - 300-500 kilograms. Distance from the ground to the withers - 1 meter 50 centimeters, body length - 2 meters 20 centimeters. The color is predominantly sandy-brown, black is also found. It has four limbs, ending in hooves. All limbs are used in walking. The bare tail has a tuft at the end. Two heads. Each head has paired organs - eyes, horns, ears. It has great economic significance. The high-calorie meat and milk of the brahmin form the basis of the diet for farmers and townspeople. Clothing is made from the brahmin's hide. It is used as a pack and draft animal. The significance of the brahmin for the unstable nature and economy of the Wasteland is hard to overestimate.

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.

HMMWV

The vehicle is based on the M1025 Hummer, produced by AMG in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Many of the parts used were inherited from its predecessor, and the vehicle inherited the quality of the initial execution. Used by the Brotherhood as a workhorse for any task. The Hummer is a fast and reliable means of transport.

Capacity - 6 fighters

Durability - 200 points

Average speed - 40 km/h

Max speed - 56 km/h

Turning radius - 7.62 m

Payload - 2500 pounds

Brotherhood of Steel Airships.

Huge airships from which part of the Brotherhood of Steel went in pursuit of the shattered forces of the Master.

Buggy.

A buggy assembled by raiders.

Capacity - 2 fighters

Durability - 100 points

Average speed - 35 km/h

Max speed - 45 km/h

Turning radius - 4.57 m

Payload - 500 pounds

Scout

Built by the Brotherhood using old military parts. The vehicle is suitable for fast and rapid operations. The cabin is almost completely enclosed, providing protection against light weapons. However, due to the fortifications of the vehicle, the driver and passenger are in relative discomfort. Despite this, the vehicle has a good payload capacity.

Capacity - 2 fighters

Durability - 150 points

Average speed - 48 km/h

Max speed - 64 km/h

Turning radius - 4.57 m

Payload - 1500 pounds

Armored Personal Carrier

An original development of the Brotherhood - heavily armored transport. Two tracks and a powerful engine allow it to traverse any terrain and provide a very small turning radius.

Capacity - 8 fighters

Durability - 350 points

Average speed - 16 km/h

Max speed - 32 km/h

Turning radius - stationary

Payload - 5000 pounds

Tank

Modified Sherman with a 75mm gun.

Capacity - 5 fighters (including driver and gunner)

Durability - 500 points

Average speed - 13 km/h

Max speed - 24 km/h

Turning radius - stationary

Payload - 2500 pounds

Galleon

A prototype heavy aircraft for military purposes. Stands in the Buena Vista hangar.

Nuke Carrier

A modified copy of the APC, intended solely for transporting a nuclear warhead.

Capacity - 3 fighters

Durability - 350 points

Average speed - 16 km/h

Max speed - 32 km/h

Turning radius - stationary

Payload - 0 (with bomb)

Fallout 2

Vertibird

Development began in the 2120s by the High Commission on Science and Combat Operations in the Hydrocity area (Enclave base) and was completed by 2145 (proof).

Apparently, the vertibird is a rotorcraft.

_________________________________________________

A rotorcraft is an aerodynamic flying vehicle capable of vertical takeoff and landing, in which lift is created by a combined lift system consisting of one or two lifting rotors and a wing.

__________________________________________________

The main drawback of vertibirds was their limited flight range, which forced the Enclave to create a series of refueling stations on the continent for them.

By the end of Fallout 2, the technology for creating vertibirds was with the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel.

Highwayman

"Nothing can stop a highwayman"

The first vehicle available to the player in Fallout 2. It consumes nuclear batteries in massive quantities and greatly increases movement speed. It can be upgraded (speed, trunk capacity, and energy consumption).

Tanker

The second vehicle available to the player in Fallout 2.

Used as a base for "punks" and as transport to Hydrocity.
