Description
Something I've been wanting to do for awhile, Humvees from different factions in the fallout world. "But I've never seen a Humvee in fallout" you say, and that's because, like most people, you probably didn't play Fallout Tactics back in the 90s. Anyway, I based this off the FOT Hummer, giving it an actual gun mount in place of the giant light bar (incidentally, your squad can fire from the Hummer while you're driving around, which means the guy with the M2 just sticks the barrel out a window and goes to town. The M2 is also a man portable weapon in that game, so there you go).Anyway, the prewar Army Humvee uses the same WW2 style paint scheme you see on the army trucks in FO3 and New Vegas. The NCR version uses the same green/OD paint scheme, suitable for the forested northern end of California and Southern Oregon. I goofed here, the NCRs Cavalry units are animal mounted (on whatever the fallout equivalent of a horse is), a vehicle mounted unit would be a Mechanized unit. so maybe this one provides mobile fire support. The BOS version is uparmored and armed with one of the miniguns the Paladins all carry. Now if you're asking yourself where the garage was in Lost Hills, well...
Anyway, I may do more of these later. Was originally going to do Vertibirds, but pretty much any faction could get an old humvee running, an experimental tilt rotor aircraft not so much.

These are awesome designs, penguin-commando...though it could be argued that the Fallout universe's US military wouldn't have developed the HMMV, though it appeared in Fallout: Tactics. Fallout 4 seems to have given the US Army retro-futuristic versions of LAVs like the Stryker and Coyote, with their carcasses being scattered all over the Commornwealth, so I could see them doing a lot of the same jobs. Though I've now just realized we've never seen any type of Jeep, which would have been a military vehicle in service in both our timeline and the Fallout one....

Thanks!
Other than the Humvees in Fallout Tactics, I don't think we've ever seen any light-duty military vehicles in Fallout (and considering how many Army trucks there are around, we really should have). Since the fallout aesthetic is form the 50s and early 60s then it should be a jeep, but Fallout's a little inconsistent about parallel development with the real universe - you've got technology that's what the 50s thought the future would be - brain robots and mini nuclear reactors, technology that was developed more recently in the real world - mostly guns, and technology that just never advanced much, like the vacuum tubes and old timey computers.
There is also the VW scout vehicle in fallout tactics, but I always figured that was a civilian vehicle for some reason (and we all tend to forget it, since it's not useful). Originally I was thinking of doing Vertibirds, but that really limits you to 3 or 4 factions (more if you want a bunch of different BOSs, but that's not that interesting).

Yeah I remember the good ol Fallout Tactics. Death Claws were OP as fuck though lol Huge HP and ridiculous melee damage.

That link is pretty kickass!
It's mostly M4 Sherman, Post-War refitted. I believe one imagine possibly could be a M60 Patton if you squint at the one tank and the sketch remains me of a M48.
I'd love to see a plasma tank myself, a Enclave one I guess, with a laser gatling mount!

The first Fallout game takes place about 90 years after a global nuclear war, and society is slowly rebuilding, so it's somewhat reasonable although really it's a game design decision more than anything else. In Fallout 2 you get a car, and in Fallout tactics there are a couple drivable vehicles, but by Fallout 3 the games switched from isometric to FPS, and the developers figured vehicles would be too difficult to implement and weren't what they wanted to do with the game. Of course, people have modded them back in...

Ha, I saw this and was thinking: Yeah, but Fallout Humvee's have been done. I love Fallout Tactics. It's pretty awesome.
Great job on these.

Thanks! I liked FOT, being a big Jagged Alliance fan, back in the day, but it didn't have the right Fallout aesthetic - it stands up OK on it's own, but if they had been able to use and build off of all the weapons, armor, and artwork from the original two games it could have been so much cooler.

Yeah, I've never really been a lore nut, so the divergences didn't bother me that much. I've always said it's an awesome game if not the best Fallout game.
If you like Jagged Alliance, try out 7.62mm High Calibre. It's exceptionally awesome, even if it's a bit buggy. It's also now on Steam.
