:shakehead: I find this quite odd, why is megaton buit out of a lockheed tristar when its a 1970's plane, considering tech is around 1950's style in the fallout universe .Also what aircraft tech is the fallout universe at,theres some prop transport planes in new vegas with a fold wing design but thats a 1940ish design unless they are nuclear powered .This is messing up my mind. :vaultboy:

:foodndrink:

There is no evidence in game that the plane is what you mentioned, it may look similar but that doesn't mean it is the Lockheed Tristar.

The jets we see are like P-80/F-80 Shooting Star's which was a 50's plane. The commercial aircraft at McCarren is unknown I think.

It's more of a 1950s culture, the military tech grew far more advanced. I consider aircraft apart of the military in Fallout, not the 1950's culture/phenomenon.

The plane parts are still not of 1950's design :swear: and the P-80 was not a naval aircraft, and the US should of been using F-86 at least by then since its first flight was in 1949 and the P-80 was only used in ariel recon by the end of 1953 if the korean war happened in the fallout universe :fallout:

Who said it was a naval aircraft?

And you have to remember, even though its 1950s style their timeline diverged from ours and this is 120 years later.

I think the Korean War happened but I am not sure.

I thought any wars after World War 2 did not exist in the Fallout timeline, such as the Vietnam War, Gulf War, anything in the Middle East...

Well those were 60s onward, Korean War was in the 1950s.

It is still after World War 2.

I mean the Korean War would make sense to have in the Fallout Universe while the others do not.

Care to explain?

I only see it useful in a sense that America could get their troops into China faster.

why wouldnt it happen in our and their worlds the Americans still hated communism :frog:

And it was before or during the divergence (when the Fallout universe stayed in the 1950s and we moved on) but that's off topic.

Yeah sorry for derailing your topic, probably record time for me though.

Its not mine its Mike 101's.

Yeah I know, it was a branch off from your comment directed at OP, probably could have been clearer though.

The only proof I see of the Korean war is This Machine in New Vegas. Even though it is not identical to an M1 Garand it is extremely close, and the M1 had served as the service rifle for the US through Korea and up to 1957. On the side of This Machine, it says This Machine kills Commies, and we know that N. Korea was communist.

Either that or some other unknown war with communists. I don't see the gun being used very far after its real life service, as New Vegas has M16's and M4's and Fallout 3 mentions a gun called the M199 (which was early 21st century), so it probally wasn't used during the resource wars.
