What a fucking forced conflict. It's like GATE, but if the fantasy Romans were actually WINNING against the modern military. Why don't they go full "It ain't me" and bomb the shit out of Fortification Hill?

>comparing firearms of any kind to a machete
>>
>>389713239
the legion reguarly fields automatic weapons and uses human wave tactics on the NCR, who usually only field their slow firing ar clones

(the legion found a huge arms cache in nevada, which is why they have more automatics then the NCR)

The ncr also can't manage supply routes, not only are they spread thin but raiders plague their routes

The legion lacks these issues

>The Mujahedeen were equipped with modern weapons, and so were the Viet Kong
The Mujahedeen mainly fielded muskets and did hit and run raids, the biggest thing they had was anti air arms, look it up

The vietkong primarily used bolt action rifles
>>
>>389713535
And as a note, guys with machetes sent to charge the NCR are replaceable slaves, the NCR is totally fucked by human waves
>>
>>389713239
Basic grunts have machetes, and only early in the game. You put a few hours in and you'll start seeing hit squads coming after you with subguns, brushguns, and super sledges. Plus I think its well known that the Legion outnumbered the NCR in soldiers they were able to field in one location. NCR was spread over a massive area. Legion held a similarly sized area, but their control was so well enforced that they could focus the majority of their military in one location, while NCR had to deal with bullshit bureaucracy to get anything decent to the damn. Only reason NCR won the first battle of the dam was because the Legion just wasn't used to large scale battlefield tactics and fell for a trap. They had the numbers and the guns to completely take the Dam itself.

Damn I remember getting the Boomers that plane and thinking the rest just seemed so pointless. Like once you got that the NCR should have just been happy. Leave the Brotherhood alone, ignore the Khans, and whatever else fucking bullshit they ask you to try and do to get ready for the big fight. None of it matters anymore, we have a fucking bomber. What the hell does the Legion have for that? Not a goddamn thing, thats what. Game should have been over as soon as it was ready, and the Boomers should have been declared full on powerhouse in the Mojave on par with House himself.

Oh you have an army of Securitrons? Ok, we have several hundred people, each one has their own personal heavy ordance that they train with every day with a Joie de Vivre, and again, a fucking bomber that can level the strip in a few passes.

Everyone in the wasteland have been exposed to FEV enough to become superhuman-like, with some achieving that level like Frank and the Courier to an extent.

>>389714169
If we look at FO4, vertibirds don't exactly give the best protection. Rocket launchers and mini-nukes could take out the bomber, so could guass rifles and possibly plasma weapons, and probably almost any heavy weapon or 50. cal

Legion raided the BoS, so it follows that they should have that kind of firepower. If it was the bomber by itself it'd likely be shot down

The NCR has more troops than the Legion, but the Legion has better troops. They're also better at swarming weak areas, breaking through, then encircling NCR ones.

Before the first patch a single Legionary could fuck up half a dozen NCR soldiers in melee, and even after the NCR buff they can still fuck up regular troopers on their own.

this
the NCR were explicitly overextended and were being greedy by trying to gimme all that territory
>>
>>389713694

So the NCR has no artillery at all? They've never found a single Military base which had salvageable equipment or never commissioned some cannons from a post war manufacturer like the Gun Runners?
>>
The legion is disciplined enough to close the distance and fight. There are plenty of examples of this working in history:

Battle of Isandlwana - Zulus rout the British despite the overwhelming difference in firearms

Hill 180 - Americans charge Chinese machinegunners and skewer them as they try to retreat

42nd Street - Aussies, Zealanders, and Maoris carry out a flanking bayonet charge on advancing Germans at Crete

>inb4 Rorke's Drift
If they had done a single massive assault instead of sending multiple waves, the Zulus wouldve won.

No, it explicitly states they give recruits fucking nothing except maybe a plank of wood or something to bash heads in. No rules against them grabbing guns if they want.

Theres a big difference between a Vertibird that has to get withing a few hundred yards to fire, and a fucking bomber that drops from a half decent altitude. Unless they have some big ass AA guns they aren't hitting shit.

why do people ignore that the Legion had Slave Armies that they used as cannon fodder so their experienced troops could breakthrough and fuck the NCR up?

>>389712329
But the Legion do use guns, The NCR's excessively bogged down with internal instability, hell, the only reason that vegas is even an issue for th NCR is hoover dam and the fact that it's an election here, troops don't give a shit, they want to go home, Top brass doesn't give a shit, the only people who seriously give a shit are the citizens of the NCR.

Meanwhile Legion is a despotic cult of personality which trains their soliders to serve the Legion.

More like they have them, but keep them positioned at key positions in currently held NCR territory. Mojave is seen as the fringes, still no where near controlled thanks to House.

You're really overestmating the power of a single plane, one shot through the window and the pilot (and by extension the bomber) is fucking dead, you can't destroy an entire army with a single plane, especially when nellis is already sparsely populated and could be overrun by the legion or ncr, rendering the advantage of having a plane completely useless.

The NCR flat out doesn't know how to use most of what it's got. That's why groups like the Gun Runners, Boomers and Brotherhood fucking terrify them.
I mean christ they can barely even set up Service-level weapons production factories on their own, and their idea of using Power Armor is to gut the servos and wear it like medieval plate.

This is why Caesar values self-reliance so much, and why Legionaires at low rank aren't issued serious kit. You have to learn to crawl before you can march.

they intentionally broke it, since they didn't have the training or knowledge to use them properly, so they ripped out all the servos and shit to just turn it into fancy and heavy as fuck suits of armour that their troops could actually use
but since bethesda got rid of power armour training being a thing required to use it I guess the NCR must have just been using broken power armour that they recovered from former brotherhood bunkers since the brotherhood would have kept the good stuff and broken anything they left behind so that the NCR could not use it

No you mongoloid, NCR Power Armor has its servos ripped out in New Vegas and does not function as Power Armor, just very heavy armor. Some NCR leaders even talk about how they salvaged it from the skirmish with the Brotherhood but couldn't use it.
>They have the knowledge, but not the collective will to do so
Its a bit if both, but effectively they can't do it.
>>Troopers are volunteer and conscripted forces in the NCR's military. They vary widely in devotion, experience, and even in basic equipment. What they lack in consistency they make up for in numbers.
Most of them are back east, the NCR's modus operandi is to recruit from established areas close to the front and ship people up that way rather than using the trains. Multiple NCR in Vegas talk about how the place has been opened up to recruits as a strategic morale-booster and propaganda lynchpin.
>The eastern traders just have more confidence in the security of legion backed wealth. The NCR probably has a larger and more diverse economy.
No, it is flat out stated in-game that Waterbacks are devaluing because of the growing availability of grassroots water and because the NCR cannot protect their merchant traders without cucking their business (like the third town in New Vegas is entirely dedicated to this concept, come on man)
>The market will adapt eventually. The brotherhood destroyed their gold reserves.
NCR dollars were never on a Gold Standard, the bullion is just for government spending use, not the actual basis of the currency. You can't and never could trade NCR dollars for their value in Gold, and why the fuck would you want to?

I'm aware that they've done this. They noted that they couldn't figure out how to restore them, so they used them as heavy armor. Since raiders and gangs on the east coast can refurbish suits, new canon suggests discord in lore or NCR incompetence.

>>389721484
>Most of them are back east...
Mr. House, in the treaty he made with the NCR literally made it illegal for the NCR to disallow troops from visiting the strip. Strategic and moral purposes aside, they'd be going their anyway and using it as a selling point is an aside their being in adherence with the terms of the treaty.

>No, they explicitly cannot...
Can you sauce me on lines that state they can't under any circumstances? I'm doing a new playthrough right now after years away from the game and I recall Caeser explaining his philosophy behind it, but recalled it effectively meaning they just weren't equipped with them or expected to fight with them.

>No, it's flat out...
>During the conflict with the Brotherhood the Republic's gold reserves were destroyed by Brotherhood raids to the point where new gold coins could not be minted and paper money could not be properly backed with gold. NCR citizens panicked and rushed to reclaim the listed face value of currency from NCR's remaining gold reserves. Since the NCR was unable to realize these withdrawals, particularly towards the frontier, faith in their currency considerably dropped. To protect against actual economic collapse, the NCR government abandoned the gold standard and established fiat currency, not payable in specie.[19] Since then many wastelanders lost faith in it as a medium of worth, both as a result of it not being backed by anything but the government's word and the inevitable inflation
^but you could call this old history at this point
I wasn't sure how much time passed between this and the institution of water-backed currency.

>Mujahideen mainly fielded muskets
>Vietcong mainly fielded bolt-actions
I call total bullshit on the Mujahideen claim, unless you're talking about fucking Jezails in use against the British in the late 19th century. Sure they weren't well equipped but basically all footage I've seen of the Soviet war in Afghanistan shows the afghans runing around with AKMs and shit. Pakistan was helping them get their Stingers, they could probably also spare a few rifles.
And the Vietcong? Sure the Mosin was pretty popular but I doubt it equipped the majority of them. I'd argue it was the most popular gun but the majority had either an SKS or an AK derivative from either the Soviets themselves or China.

Where does the idea of PA training come from anyways if not Fallout 3? Fallout 1 has you read a book on how to repair the armour I guess, while Fallout 2 just throws it on top of you. They never explicitly mention they need trainign to use it in the original games, do they? Or did I actually miss something?

The point of the power armor servos is that it does the job for you. You don't need training to use it - that was a Fallout 3 retcon that Bethesda made so that the player couldn't use power armor as soon as they killed a BoS and the game retained some sort of progression. Power armor is handed out like candy in F3 and every npc drops their armor when they die.

New Vegas and Obsidian were just working with what they were given - that it's canon that power armor needs training now.

Then Bethesda with F4 did a 180 and it doesn't need it anymore.

It's shit.
Premise was great, but all the potential was wasted; no suspense in background Earth politics, the Empire is not a threat whatsoever so there's no challenge in battles either. There's not even enough modern army anihilating Romans either (the only thing the show had going for it), so harem is more or less all that's left.

Are you implying that House cares? He could sort it out if he wanted to, there is just no benefit to doing so.
