In a cross between these two forces, the UNSC and the pre-war Fallout United States Army, who wins? This is a strict ground engagement, no spacecraft for use other than transporting troops and orbital strikes . Each side has the same amount of troops at their disposal.
I'm gonna have to go with America here. Sure, the UNSC has Spartans and firearms that are much more advanced than in Fallout, not to mention hardier troops and vehicles, but the American military can better produce power armor, energy weapons, and they have orbital strikes that would be much more precise than a MAC Cannon.
UNSC. The American military never had advanced spacecraft like the UNSC did. A Frigate MAC on full charge dropping on the American forces would be like dropping 3 Hiroshima bombs at once (Frigate MAC were rated at something like 64 kilotons last I checked, and the Hiroshima bomb was about 20)[/url]
True, but the United States has orbital platforms that can sling nukes precisely wherever they need to go, and at a higher speed than a MAC gun can reload.
[url]Plus the UNSC have the advantage of rail-gun technology, like the Cobra, and the unstoppable behemoth, the Vulture. Rhino plasma mortars, and so on. Plus the only weapons the American forces have that could definitely penetrate the MJOLNIR armor of Spartans without assuming anything would be plasma weapons, which were difficult to produce. The T-51 power armor (while quite effective and more readily available) is still susceptible to conventional firearms like bullets. (If you read the Fall of Reach, they make mention of bullets bouncing off of the Chief's armor.)
The Americans have harnessed Gauss technology as well, and have compacted it into a small arm. Not to mention, American plasma weaponry is generally more advanced than UNSC plasma weaponry, considering it's all still experimental, besides the Rhino platforms. Even still, Power Armor deflects bullets just as well as Mjonlir armor, and without the shields, makes it much more producable. You only need limited training to use it, as opposed to Mjolnir armor, where you need genetic augmentations to use it safely. By the time of the Great War, power armor was commonly use on the battlefield.
Really?
So, first then since fallout gets orbital guns, we get SMAC's.
Problem solved.
UNSC wins already, the SMAC's have a destructive capacity of bunches of nukes.
Spartans are well trained, and through this fallout army, I'd expect 1% dead from ground gunfire, because our SMAC's already cleared all of that and the rest from orbital strikes.
Look, if they start out with the same, who do you think wins?
1v1 Spartan and fallout trooper.
Right?
Also, our orbital bombardments are in comparison, highly effective.
