Can You Beat Fallout 4 As a WWII Veteran

With D-day's anniversary having happened a little while ago, I felt like bringing some 20th century discipline to the 23rd century in Fallout 4. So join me as we grab our trusty D-day gear, which consists of a M1 Garand and a Colt 1911, and start the rebuilding of the United States from where it all began...with the "new" independence of Boston.
Mods: The m1 Garand and Colt 1911 can be found in the in-game mod manager on pc; if you wanted to take ‘em out for a spin yourself…you should!
The name of the mods are the name of the weapons.

The Garand almost was chambered in a .275 caliber cartridge, which would’ve given the gun a better reputation with the South Vietnamese when we would inevitably give them a metric truck load of them. Unfortunately for that what-if, General Patton said that the Army should have a gun chambered in .30_06 Springfield, as they had an imperial ton of that ammo caliber. Garand foresaw this, and had created an upscaled prototype of the .275 firing gun, with the exact same layout of the internals, chambered in .30_06 Springfield. The rest is history

[@stevendubin3584]

Yes, ground soldiers in World War II used a variety of armor, including helmets, vests, and plates: M1 helmet This two-piece helmet had an outer steel shell and an inner liner with a suspension system. It was designed to protect against overhead shell fragments and missiles. Doran plates These plates were made of fiberglass laminate and inserted into nylon vests. T-52-2 vest This vest was made of 12 layers of flexible nylon and was designed to protect against shrapnel. Armor, Vest - M12 This vest was developed late in the war and incorporated aluminum plates sewn into nylon. It weighed 12 pounds, 3 ounces and was used in Korea until newer vests were available.

Not just the rifle that helped win the war as General George S. Patton said himself it was "The greatest battle Implement ever devise." I know a lot of ppl are saying what about the the Russian SVT-40, but that wasn't used as wide spread as the M1 bc most if not 90% of Soviet soldiers still used the Mosin the same way the German equivalent to the SVT wasn't as widespread which is what makes the Garand better bc it was standard issue for most of the US army and marines.

And there are also mods that'll improve your Play through with the Minutemen. • One RadiantQuest at a Time Mod. • You and What Army Mod. • We are the Minutemen Mod. • Minutemen Morale Pack. • Minutemen Flag Pack. • More Minutemen Patrols Mod. • Conquest Mod. I do wish we had Vehicle Mods for Fallout 4, that way you could drive around in something like an M-10, M18 "Hellcat" or M36 "Jackson" Tank Destroyer, an M3A1 or M5A1 Stuart or M24 Chaffee Light Tanks, or any of the Models of the M4 Sherman Medium Tanks while moving Men and Equipment with Dodge CCKW-353 2½-Ton "Deuce and a Half" Trucks, M3 Half-Tracks, M4 and M5 High Speed Tractors and even the MACK NO-3 and NO-6 7-Ton Trucks. Maybe even use Artillery like the M2A1 105 millimeter Howitzer, M1A1 155 millimeter Howitzer, M1A1 155 millimeter "Long Tom" Howitzer, M1A1 75 millimeter Pack Howitzer as well as the M7 "Priest" 105 millimeter Howitzer Motor Carriage, the M8 "Scott" 75 millimeter Howitzer Motor Carriage, and the M12 155 millimeter Gun Motor Carriage. The M1 Bazooka would be great Against Large, Tanky Targets like the Mirelurks or Mr. Swan, and Anti-Aircraft Guns like the M1 40 millimeter Bofors and the 20 millimeter Oerlikon Mk. 4 Twin Mount or Vehicles like the M15 and M16 Anti-Aircraft Half-Tracks would deal massive damage to even Deathclaws and Vertibirds. Let's not forget the Iconic Jeep Willys MB and Vehicles like the M8 Greyhound Armored Car and it's Turretless variant the M20 Armored Utility Vehicle, the Dodge DUKW Amphibious 2½-Ton Trucks, and even the Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT).... Namely the LVT-4, LVT(A)-1 and LVT(A)-4 Variants or Equipment like the M3 37 millimeter and M1 57 millimeter Anti-Tank Guns, the M1 90 millimeter Anti-Aircraft/Anti-Tank Gun, the M2 60 millimeter, M1 81 millimeter and the M2 4.2 inch Mortars. The Need for Flight Dynamics would be cool so that you can have Aircraft like the Lockheed P-38J Lightning, Republic P-47D Thunderbolt and North American Aviation P-51D Mustang Fighter-Bombers, The North American Aviation B-25C/D, B-25H and B-25J Mitchell and Douglas A-20G Havoc Medium Bombers, Boeing B-17E, F and G Flying Fortress and Consolidated B-24D and J Liberator Heavy Bombers, Douglas C-47A Skytrain and Curtis C-46D Commando Cargo Aircraft, CG-4A Waco Gliders and Piper L-4 Grasshopper Liason Aircraft. The Far Harbor DLC opened up the Possibility of Ships and in turn some semblance of a Navy with Destroyers and Maybe even Cruisers and/or Battleships and Possibly even Aircraft Carriers, but more importantly, Landing Craft and Landing Ships as well as Transport Ships in General. Imagine actually being able to conduct Amphibious Operations like D-Day or Airborne Operations also like on D-Day in Fallout 4?

@@Jerry-rh8db Hell if the US could strap handheld .50’s on their infantry they would’ve XD. Damn it’s weight and mega-recoil!

[@Jerry-rh8db]

@@Ben_Boos while it was not designed for it, there were handles at the end of the gun designed to carry when the barrel was hot that could be used to fire while carrying, I believe it was called a bail, though whenever I look it up I just see gay legal shit. Also, the weight of the Browning would heavily lower the recoil felt.

[@Ben_Boos]

@@Jerry-rh8db I think that was the .30 cal version and only absolute UNITS could somewhat use it, like that guy on Iwo Jima; unless I’m completely wrong because my source is: The Pacific (Band of Brothers in the pacific)

i'll go WW1, hunting rifle with bayonet, shotgun, a big variety of melee weapons a high capacity automatic assault rifle(pretending to be the lewis gun) with heavy metal chest armor, gasmask with helm, mods can help with the small details.

Honestly I think the Thompson would've also been fair game as well.

Its criminal not having those weapons in the vanilla game.

May I suggest you make a part 2 to this going through the d l c to spread the American way beyond the Commonwealth.

I could do that; though right now I’m already working on another video…
