When will people realize this game isn't supposed to have motorized transport? Seriously.... Beth doesn't want people traveling the map in 2 minutes end to end

Is it as impotent this time?

You mean does the very low yield nuclear bomb not destroy a city like it logically shouldn't be able to do?

Yes.

In classic soup nazi fashion ...

NO SOUP For You !!!

If possible, I plan to try modding this in as a PA variant; a vehicle.

Real world nukes =/= Fallout nukes.

Dont forget, Fallout's nukes traded most of the explosive force in exchange for larger radiation output.

tl;dnr version: we don't know jacksh!t about the game except for a few selected minutes of video.

Doesn't matter. The range is not going to be 40 feet.

[citation needed]

don't think we have seen the complex technical math behind how Fallout nukes work.

A charged waterbottle bursting will spray that much. There is a minimum mass for nukes to be able to work. About the smallest you can get, is lethal at 300 meters.

Except we have working nuclear batteries smaller then your fist in Fallout.

So again, real world nuclear physics =/= Fallout nuclear physics/

Sadly, no!

What??? You mean not firing the warhead farther away than the radius of its fallout is a drawback? It's kind of a nuclear suicide vest.

There is a critical mass, yes, but that mass is not consistent between materials. It is theoretically possible for a smaller, weaker nuclear warhead to be made viable by using a material or bomb design that is more efficient at capturing neutrons. For example, the critical mass of some forms of Californium is about 1/4th of that of plutonium.
