The fastest plane in our timeline is the SR-71 Blackbird, which flew from New York to London (without a 10,800 lbs nuke) just shy of two hours in 1974. In any case, a bomber is the last thing you would use for a rapid response considering that you have faster methods. Even if it was meant for any other country, the Great War would be over and the plane hasn't even reached its target, let alone dropped its payload. (Unlike China which seemed to have a nine-hour head start as the apparent aggressor). The Switchboard terminal entry (and the wiki) also states that the President ordered a retaliatory strike at 9:26 EST, which makes that the starting time for any deployment by the U.S. "But maybe it tried to fly there but didn't make it", there is no logical reason why America should be deploying bombers to China from that location. That aside, it would be impossible for an American bomber to take off anywhere in the East Coast and make it to China to drop a bomb within the two hour time limit. Well first we would have to consider the fact that an American bomber crew just dropped a nuke on the home turf in what can only be described as "Whoops!". So maybe the plane that dropped it was American, you might say. That means that an entirely Pacific-based launch could have covered all of America (again, IF you want to make the argument that ICBMs were not proven to exist before Fallout 3) Speaking of the Yangtze, it is in Fallout 4, so you could decide to not count it because it's after Megaton like I stated before, but consider that at one point Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs) from the Cold War could reach 8,000 km, so with a flight distance from San Francisco to DC of around 3225 km, the Shi-huang-ti could have blasted the White House if it wanted to. It makes no sense to have a bomber travel from China to DC (and it has to be from China, because there definitely aren't any Chinese airbases in NA, and I doubt there's any in México or Europe) when you can just have a submarine launch it's nukes from miles away, like the ones literally sitting off the East Coast such as the Yangtze, which it actually did. It was a bit nonsensical on Bethesda's part to hint again in F4 that bombers were used, considering that by this point it was more than confirmed by New Vegas that ICBMs are a thing in this universe. Chinese planes off the Bering Strait going to bomb Alaska or the West Coast makes sense, but Maryland/DC? Absolutely not. This means that a mix of all three were employed. The Fallout wiki's article on the Great War does state that "At 03:37 EST, a squadron of high-altitude bombers were sighted off the Bering Strait" (Switchboard terminal entry, Fallout 4). But these were after Fallout 3 you might say, and it might be a valid point if not for the Shih-huang-ti, the nuclear submarine referenced in Fallout 2. So we have to assume that these exist.įallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4 confirmed that both of these delivery methods were used. The Great War lasted two hours, for the entire world to be nuked in that time you need a fast method of delivery, certainly faster than a plane flying to its target, such as Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) or nuclear submarines. This is a traditional bomb that was flown in a bomber over the target. I have a problem with Megaton and it's that it makes no sense, and I don't mean the whole "building a town around a bomb" thing, it's the bomb itself that bugs me.Īs you know, the bomb is (or looks like) a Fat Man style of bomb like the one dropped in Nagasaki, enfasis in dropped. r/galaxynewsradio - Fallout-sounding music r/falloutcosplayers - Fallout-related cosplay r/Wasteland - A subreddit for the Wasteland games. r/thefalloutdiaries - Journal-like fan fiction. r/falloutmods - Fallout modding community r/classicfallout - Classic Fallout Games
