.45-70 has more than enough muzzle velocity to achieve penetration at that range on a T-51 helmet. "Bulletproof" doesn't mean "immune to all caliber of bullets at all ranges".

the faggot in pic had no leg protection, take a wild guess as to how he was taken out. granted, he wasn't wearing 'high grade riot armor stronger than sci-fi power armor' with jeans, he only had a 100lb iron apron and helmet made from a plow, but I guess if he had denim pants on underneath, he'd still be at large today.

You sound rather asshurt.
I'm sorry your terrible faction are a bunch of corrupt, power hungry and petty, vengeful idiots, with an ego the side of their home state.

It tries to emulate something that was only achievable through a century and a half of nuclear power and untold levels of production.

Not only are they filled with terrible and egotistical people, they try to institute (heh) a new form of currency that doesn't have the same value or durability of a bottle cap. Paper money is only good for campfires.

Hell, Shady Sands itself looks more like a dictatorship then it does a democracy, what with, what with electric barriers and guns everywhere.
Not only that, their system is flawed. I mean, getting elected over and over? What if one bad guy manages to place all the people he wants in powerful positions?
Hell, Hanlon actively cripples communications because its hopeless.
Kids fresh out of boot camp get handed a rifle and go defend some no name town, and they don't even get armor half the time.

They're so incompetent, if Motor Runner is left alive, they completely overrun McCarran, despite their training and numbers. So much for all of their "specialized" and "we da bes" squads.

Instead of learning how to wear power armor themselves, they strip off the servos which make them what they are, and basically just wear durable tin cans.

Fucking Oliver is stupid as hell too. He just wants to show how big his dick is to Caeser because he wants to measure up to Hanlon's tactical genius.

The NCR is fucking stupid and doomed if they ever venture out of California.

>>175045215
You seem to have misread what I said. But I'll let it slide because it's to be expected from a BoSfag.
>combat armor graded powerful enough to offer greater protection than T-45
What that simply means that the armor itself is of as good a quality in terms of protective capacity to the wearer as power armor. It's a question of material. There's no debating that, it's like that in both lore and in game stats... so you have two different types of armor here, both that offer the same protection but obviously geared towards different utility, because one slows you down, makes you a larger target, limits your fine motor movements and ability to sneak, and the other doesn't do any of that but also doesn't offer the same coverage.

Stop getting so worked up or it's going to fuck with your blood pressure, man.

Yeah, I was actually remembering the stats on the armor wrong. I was also looking at the supporting lore and it only ever stated that they'd developed a combat armor that was "as protective as power armor", and not necessarily better. "Better" probably becomes a question of what you're willing to trade off. It comes down to archers and knights in medieval warfare. The ones closer to the combat have armor that covers more, those generally at a greater ranger need less to function at their best. You have to remember that I'm not arguing "it's a good idea for a ranger to try and fight a paladin in close combat", but their grade of combat armor is without peer and their typical weapons perfectly capable of penetrating T-51, if the protective capacity T-51 is stated to have against 2500 Joules of kinetic impact is accurate. 45.70 exceeds that and then some.

So, there was never any backtracking being done, I stand by all my points.

Either way I think you need to calm down my man.

>>175046447
>now you're saying "it's just as good, but only on the bits it covers."
Uh, looking over what was typed there where does anything he originally said disagree with that

Armor is only effective in areas in covers you stupid piece of shit, that goes without fucking saying

>>175046827
A rangers body armor is equivalent to pre-war riot armor. Does that sound like its comparable to a bipedal tank suit with various onboard sensors, arrays, massively increased strength and endurance that can shrug off small arms fire?

As long as the armored part is being hit directly?

Sure.

T-51 is considerably better than T-45 though, so keep that in mind.

Besides, consider what kind of riots they were having in the US and annexed Canada especially.

>>175047197
Police/Civilian riot armor even these days can sometimes be better than what they give the military you know. There's a lot to consider. Police actions generally require a lot less patrolling so they can afford to be heavier and more protective.

Only question is: is power armor equivalent to or better than 1" of steel?

for the record 1" steel plate will definitely stop .50 BMG, I have no idea if 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch will yield similar results, though I have heard a story about a friend of a friends cousin that set up 5/8 inch rifling steel behind his range.

raider PA just bolts scrap metal on the frame, so maybe it could stop the round in places it welded/bolted heavy plates.

t-45 uses riveted steel plates, don't know how thick. t-51's composite plastic can resist 2500 joules of kinetic impact, which covers pretty much all small arms, but is unlikely to stop 10-15k joules of muzzle velocity. the effect the laminate has when breached is another uncertainty; 2' of water will stop that round, as will 18" of sand, due to the way the material behaves. It might 'stop' a glancing hit by deflecting the round, but actually seems worse than lower tier models at stopping this particular round.

tl/dr: Colter and his ridiculous Dodgem Car suit is better equipped to fight the NCR than the BOS.

The service rifle is based on what, the AR-15?

470 joules of kinetic energy. less than 2000 joules below what is required to penetrate t-51. At point plank range. That's enough to stop an M16.

It's worth mocking because it's stupid. Even the Chinese, pre-war and at full industrial and technological capacity, had to develop specialized tactics to deal with this sort of shit. Invisible ninja snipers with tank rifles. Because human wave tactics were ineffective.

But no, human wave tactics won the day, because NV is poorly written and Obsidian could not even get Black Isle's lore right, even when half the Obsidian staff worked at Black Isle.

What did you expect?

depends on the length of the barrel and the grade of ammunition, as a lot of .45-70 rounds are hand loaded. at around 2300 joules from a 25 grain shot, that ranger is likely to be eating fragments of his own bullet.

Any mods that play well with Horizon which makes the combat more realistic/brutal without fucking Up the overall balance too badly? From what I've gathered the mod creates an immersive experience akin to NV hardcore mode but not as punishing with the combat.

Is the combat actually not that bad in this respect? I haven't had extended experience with it. Just going by the author's mod description mostly.

It's definitely higher grade than T-45, which is simply metal. Pre-War riot gear is combat armor, so it's made from polymers and ceramics rather than metal as the T-45 is. Likewise it offers protection on par with it despite weighing next to nothing, suggesting that if the armor was made to be just as thick and weigh just as much its damage threshold would be significantly higher. All of this inherently suggests that yes, it is "higher grade". Claiming that it's little better than sports equipment means you're either being deliberately obtuse, or you did not read a fucking thing.

I pointed out earlier, t-45 only needs to be 5/8ths of an inch thick to stop a .50 BMG. Scroll up and watch the video. Now tell me how thick the steel on t-45 is and how many joules of kinetic energy it can stop.

t-51 was designed for resisting energy weapons in addition to small arms, as well as being more practical for sustained use. Unlike wearing sports gear and jeans under a trenchcoat. In the desert.

5/8th's of an inch of steel, fine, but none of that matters when Elite Riot Gear outperforms it at a fraction of the weight, really.

Is there a mod that adds a heavy, flat blade either as a standalone or to the machete?

>>175053501
Looks like a real weapon with a much higher calibre. Obviously the Anchorage simulation had engine limitations.

>Yeah but might have some trouble with the combat armor under the coat.

You mean riot armor. Which isn't power armor. It was designed for riots, not the battlefield, or wandering around in the desert, for that matter. Doesn't protect the limbs, adds a lot of weight to someone that needs to walk everywhere and it's capacity to stop a bullet is unknown, but I would suggest limited. It would have less composite plastic than PA, no steel plates, an unknown amount of ceramics, which would need to be replaced anyway. If it's for riots, It probably has a lot of kevlar and padding, to protect from slashes and blunt impact. Any advantage it would have from energy weapons would be lost thanks to the coat, which is probably flammable.

Doesn't even have a crotch bulge, so no cup, critical error for riot gear. DC guards are better prepared for riots, at least they don't have to worry about someone grabbing their coat-tails and pulling them over, or getting kicked in the balls.

>>175050059
First off, Operation Sunburst had over 2000 NCR troopers involved, assuming they all had the shitty Service Rifle is nonsense. .308s, .45-70s, 5mm, would easily have been at play during Operation Sunburst. At any ranges, .308s and .45-70s are going to harm Paladins, even if they don't fully penetrate. 5mms will penetrate at closer engagement ranges. This doesn't even count the potential Anti-Material rifles and other heavy weapons the NCR could bring. So even if Paladins could shrug off NCR Service Rifles, that's maybe half of the incoming fire, and even them I'm sure a lucky 5.56mm round striking a joint and weakened spot could cause damage to a Power Armor suit.

you also talk about how the Chinese, as an industrial power, couldn't human wave PA units so that means the NCR shouldn't. You conveniently forget that the USA was battling China with it's whole forces, so any PA units would've had support. The Brotherhood of Steel at Helios One were completely alone. This was essentially the Alamo for them. So the context of each battle situations is completely different.

Power Armor is bullshit weak in the game, but the writing of the NCR overwhelming the BoS at Helios One is not bad writing at all, especially when you compare it to long-ago accounts of battles contextually different.

>>175053609
Diamond city guards wear sports gear. Which would protect them better in a riot than riot armor. Because it doesn't have a silly trench coat and it comes with an athletics cup, which rangers don't have either, because they left half the suit at home.

Sure thing. Of course, ignoring that t-51, according to Black Isles lore, is impervious to everything you described, Obsidian gets a pussy pass because of "muh narrative context." Don't bother scrolling up and reading anything about the muzzle energy of various arms, how much force PA can resist, or even similar battles against human wave tactics, you obviously don't care and are just going to reflexively defend this bullshit because of your emotional investment. That's ok. It's just a video game. Video games are not art though.

>>175054764
The Desert Rangers were a clan of survivalists not unlike the minutemen, right? Tycho, from F1, was textually said to look like a Ranger, with his mask and coat.
If they're rangers, hunters, and scouts, they wouldn't need the riot armor, right? Conceptually, the Ranger is only in so as much of a threat as his armor allows.

Statistically speaking, its probably only so high up on the list because its the boxart cover armor, right? A rare and aesthetically pleasing piece if equipment is going to be held in high regard.
Conceptually, it makes no sense.
If you removed the armor, it'd be more flexible, but then they would just be glorified scouts, and not mythological assassins on propaganda posters.

The helmet, I get. The chest armor, I don't.
If you're trawling out in the desert, youd want to keep your load light. The cost is there to keep the heat off your back. That metal pack thing is supposedly not unlike a water pack you'll see in the military.

Honestly the whole design just seems unfinished.

I have no problem with the coat and gas mask with rugged clothing or leathers underneath.

I would have no problem with a full set of riot gear, including a mask and helmet.

Piecemeal armor, trenchcoat and jeans better than power armor, like the clown 100 posts ago was claiming? No.

The aesthetic is wrong and it isn't practical, bits and pieces jutting out everywhere and ruining a perfectly good coat and set of jeans. It's like it was designed by a committee of /k/ posers. It's the /k/ sanic.

Except you're the one ripping on everything because you were butthurt about a bad image in the last thread depicting NCR Combat Ranger faggots bullying BoS Paladins.

Where are the actual in-game references to support your claims that Power Armor is "impervious" to all of these rounds and weapons? The ZAX in The Glow gives you specs on PA, and it says: "Made of the latest poly-laminate composite, the T-51b shell is lightweight and capable of absorbing over 2,500 Joules of kinetic impact." A .308, depending on the load, easily surpasses that by a thousand joules, and .45-70 govt rounds match that at close ranges. So yeah Paladins are still gonna feel it when they are outnumbered 20 to 1.

Power Armor is grossly underpowered in game, but it's always been well-depicted in lore, so I still don't see why the fuck you're so mad about the Operation Sunburst event.

Pretty cool stuff man. I'll try to make a deathclaw skeleton later for it.

Oh and I finally got the Plasma Caster's damage values and etc. balanced...man that was a chore. I thought it would have been a lot easier than what it was. Trying to get dem values just right for each barrel n shit, and the custom receivers. I noticed something strange too. If a part makes a weapons damage go to a negative number, it wraps around to something insane like 150,000,000 damage. And a semi-auto weapon with 0 fire rate makes it fire almost automatically. Was a pain fixing all those little issues, but I think most of the time consuming crap is behind me now.

Oh and I found out why it wasn't gooifying all the time in my previous webms. Bloody mess. While I was testin' I removed bloody mess and the goo'd each and every time.

Y'know, I started thinking about it earlier, and I wonder. Why is the flamer even a thing in Fallout's universe?

Wouldn't it be considered cruel, even by 1950s standards, and expensive to use because it runs on resources they're most likely fighting to get in the first place, and not really that effective anyway, besides the fear aspect?

Was it more of a post-war creation or did the army actually use it a lot in the resource wars?

You can just paste a list of perks/skills into Random.org form and randomize the list. Then just pick top result, which will be random.

I jsut feel as if compared to earlier installments in the series (I.e every game before Fallout 4) power armor was treated like an endgame item. Now you can find it here and there as soon as you get out of vault 111.

I mean, sure, maybe the Commonwealth was a hotbed for power armor developement and production but that still doesn't explain how full suits for t-45, t-51, t-60 and even enclave power armor can be found just sitting out in the sun. And they have, presumably, just been sitting there for ltieralyl centuries, untouched.

I don't have anything gainst raiders getting their own power armor as much as how much I dislike how Fallout 4 treats power armor compared to earlier games.

>>175073525
I wasn't planning on using it myself. I just want power armor to be more rare in the Commonwealth. And for the Brotherhood to use other models besides t-60 and its variants.

>>175074485
>and even enclave power armor can be found just sitting out in the sun.
Did you forget that Boston, along with every other major city in America, was under martial law, with a large military occupation presence?

You know, the reason why there are military checkpoint conveys all over the place?

Boston had a huge garrison of soldiers, and those in power armor, when the war happened. Plenty of reasons why PA would be out in the open when those soldiers squads and military chain of command broke down, and people started wandering off.

>and even enclave power armor
It's not Enclave power armor, its X-01

X is the military designation for prototype equipment, making it a pre-war precursor to the Enclave APA we know of.

I would've much rather the T-60 had been a completely new design machined by the Brotherhood Of Steel instead of further stacking shit pre-war. They had the T-45 specs and the machining blueprints for making advanced power armor from the Enclave. There would be nothing stopping them from improving the T-45. And the T-60 certain looks like a beefed up T-45.

But Bethesda seems to be DESPERATELY trying to preserve the integrity of Fallout's post-apocalyptic element for future exploitation. To the point where the gears are stripping from shit being held in an artificial stasis. And they're never going to pay for it like they should because the mainstream gaming audience isn't worth the bullets it would take to put a cap in their retarded asses.

>>175074964

Besides the lack of any sort of production facilities since Eden took out the Enclave's PA manufacturing when he blew up Raven Rock.

>>175074964
>>175075087
I still go with T-60 being an upgrade kit for T-45. Plus Danse mentions that the BoS makes their own power armor somehow doesnt he?
Could easily be a prewar design being produced post-war.

Also why does Beth hate T-51?

>>175075087
BoS has their own production facilities. They have since Fallout 1. Making and repairing tech has been a thing they've been fully adept at since the first game. They were actively improving the output of laser weapons in the Lost Hills bunker.

>>175075249
>BoS has their own production facilities. They have since Fallout 1
No they do not, and its point blank stated in Fallout 3, NV, and 4, many times, that no one has the ability to make things like new PA, or new laser rifles.

Even back in Fallout 1, the only thing they could make were mods for pre-existing weapons.

>. They were actively improving the output of laser weapons in the Lost Hills bunker.
Any hick in his backyard can make a mod for a weapon(see the SS) that does not mean they can make the weapon itself.

>>175075210
>Plus Danse mentions that the BoS makes their own power armor somehow doesn't he?
Nope, he makes no such comment.

In fact, its outright stated in Fallout 4 that the BoS lack the ability to make new technology.

I'm not here to argue lore that has been raped to Hell and back. You'll stick to it being a pre-war prototype and I'll stick to it being bullshit made up by Bethesda (not that I'm against the inclusion of enclave power armor). But considering how rare t-51 was back in the Capital Wasteland it's rather surprising that they didn't try and do anything special with the X-01. Tying it to a questline or similar instead of simply making it a high level, random drop.

My point is, power armor has always been treated as an endgame item. And I think that it's a bit disheartening to see Bethesda deviate from that rather established fact without supplementing it. Now power armor is, in a sense, worth less than ever before in the series.

>>175074956
200 years, nigger. It's been 200 fucking years. High value stuff shouldn't be hanging around unused unless everyone was hiding in a vault for 200 fucking years.

>>175075913
>But considering how rare t-51 was back in the Capital Wasteland
That's only because they wanted it to be the iconic armor.

>My point is, power armor has always been treated as an endgame item
IT was only treated that way because Fallout 1 and 2 took place in California, which has all of two large citites, of which we can barely explore either of them.

Tactics was the western part of the Midwest, a place generally known for being hick town U.S.A., and totally avoided Chicago, and St Louis, outside out the smallest outskirts.

Fallout 3 and NV had power armor all over the place, and PA was only "endgame" because Bethesda pulled the "YOU NEED TRAINING!" bullshit to make it artificially hard to acquire when lore states PA was supposed to be so easy to use that any moron could do it.

Fallout 4 just makes PA like it would have been in Fallout 3 and NV had they not raped PA lore in those games

>>175075421

>>175076165
But you don't find pieces of power armor strewn across the Wasteland in either of those games.

It's still only used/owned by a very select few factions. Hell, the NCR doesn't even have fully functioning suits of their own. And I think we can both agree on that it's bullshit that you can get a fully working suit of t-45 after the first quest in Fallout 4. After the very first, real quest you get.

And don't even get me started on the fusion cores. I don't care if they go and say stuff like "it's been 200 years! The batteries are drained and you need to fill 'em up again!" It was a shitty move on their part to nerf power armors and limit their use. For the worse, might I add. It added nothing to the game except confusion.

>>175046169
Turn-based is only good in strategy games.

>>175076550
>institute can
So can the Enclave, I was talking about normal wastelanders.

>elijah jerry-rigged a china lake to fire energy projectiles
Using technology that was already built in Big MT.

He didn't make shit on his own, he just combed two pieces together.

>raiders in fallout 4 wearing custom-made nigger rigged PA sets
Using metal pieces that very clearly didn't make themselves and just wielded onto the frame.

Wow, people using PRE-EXISTING shit is not them MAKING anything

>>175076565
>Hell, the NCR doesn't even have fully functioning suits of their own
Actually they do, see the NCR commander as the Long 15.

The entire idea of "Salvaged" PA comes from Obsidian being idiots and forgetting that PA training doesn't actually exist, and as such, you wouldn't need to take off the servo motors in PA to get non trained people to be able to use it.

> It was a shitty move on their part to nerf power armors and limit their use.
No it wasn't.

It was universally agreed upon by the older Fallout devs that power armor in Fallout 1/2 was way too overpowered, which is why, even in New Vegas, there is a 80% damage reduction cap on PA.

With no longer needing training, it makes sense to limit them via fusion cores. That at least makes sense.

The Brotherhood Of Steel aren't normal wastelanders, though. You said the BoS didn't have the capability. The BoS was formed when Maxson learned about the FEV experiments, blew the brains out of the guy in charge, and then defected with a contingent of soldiers into a high priority VIP military bunker facility.

>>175076707
are you telling me the raiders in charge of a metal refinery aren't able to make metal, and by extent, their own power armor?

>>175076913
to be fair they just lifted the nuclear reactor from an aircraft carrier which could've been a lot more menacing than a dumb airship tbf

I just got an irradiated sword, an irradiated plasma rifle, and an irradiated Fat man back to back.

Is the "flamer" mod for the plasma rifle affected by the "commando" perk like an automatic rifle? This is my new favorite gun.

>>175077032
>Is the "flamer" mod for the plasma rifle affected by the "commando" perk like an automatic rifle? This is my new favorite gun.

Yeah, it's way too strong compared to the rest of energy weapons.

>>175076902
So if power amor is so overpowered why give the players a set of fully working T-45 after Concord? Why not make them more rare/desirable?

And you named an entire guy in the NCR army who uses power armor. That proves how widespread the use is.

>>175077032
Every time I hear about legendary weapons I have this extreme urge to resume work on trying to forcibly rip them from the fucking game and try to get ammo types working. Unfortunately, ammo types is beyond the CK.

Every ammo type mod I've seen has involved the weapon mod system and adding a category. So given my current understanding, that would be the key to getting something working. Replicating a NV-style hotswap system would require scripting, doubtlessly. I have no fucking clue. I'm still learning the CK. And that's been on hiatus as I've been on sabbatical replaying the entire series to refresh myself.

I feel like with the right mods put on on the Defender could make a really awesome advanced plasma rifle as well.

More homemade guns would be great too.
I want to see something like that homemade tesla rifle, using the break barrel shotgun reload animation to shove an MFC into the barrel. I think that would be a cool way to reload an energy weapon that I haven't seen any mods using.

Becuase this isn't Fallout 1/2, and PA isnt so overpowered anymore due to it

Man, the progression in FO2 is a bit backwards. You get the APA Mk1 before you find a T51b.

In fact, you're rewarded T51b after you go and get the APA Mk1 as part of the vertibird plan retrieval.

I like how it was explained to you time and time again and you continue to take it out of context... yet you claim that the other party is "butthurt" when all you've been doing is the imageboard equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la la la la la".

For some reason you seem triggered by the fact that there exists a combat armor made of material that surpasses the metal that t-45d is composed of. Exactly why this causes you to flip out is nonsensical.

If you have a composite material that can offer the same protective capacity against ballistics and energy weapons as a much heavier material, it is superior. Nobody ever said that jeans could stop bullets, you seem stuck on that.

Stop.

Think.

And had Van Buren been released, there would have even been a combat armor that matched T-51.

>>175082961

I don't have problems with the trash and clutter in random areas, but yeah in any place that is settled by people on a semi-permanent basis, it's fucking retarded. Even up at hunting camp, spending two weeks or a little more living in a canvas tent, you sweep debris and shit out, with a fucking pine bough if there are no actual brooms. This is caveman level basic shit. But trash aesthetics equals disparate wasteland; and also these games now are completely designed from modern big-city cultural biases, and especially in the east big cities individuals don't give two shits about litering, it's someone else's problem.

Although personally the worst offender of this is FONV, with the terminal section of Camp McCarran. God damn all those random scrap cans just lying around the floor and on tables, complete fucking bullshit; not only for gameplay purposes (as even with decent rigs, it fucks up performance in that cell), but for lore reasons too. There would be no way the interior of a military encampment would be so fucking messy; random ass soldiers not on patrol are always kept busy with bitchwork like that, and the tin scraps would be repurposed to whichever useful thing it could be for. The "Clean McCarran" mod for FONV is a true hidden gem mod.
