Real American Hero

 

“

I ever tell you I got an aunt living in Anchorage? She's in there, somewhere. And by God, I'm gonna get those Reds out of her backyard!

”

American soldiers are the backbone of the U.S. Army and the player's main allies in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

American soldiers wear winterized combat armor and are armed with R91 assault rifles. They have superior health and armor compared to their Chinese counterparts, but inferior weapons and are vulnerable to Crimson Dragoons and snipers.

The basic U.S. infantryman has about twice as much health as a basic Chinese soldier, and is on par with a Chinese special weapons unit (and also roughly on par with an Enclave soldier) in terms of skill and durability.

American T-51b unit

	Biography race Human affiliation U.S. Army role Soldier location Anchorage Reclamation simulation Gameplay appearances Operation: Anchorage Statistics SPECIAL 5 ST, 5 PE, 5 EN, 5 CH, 5 IN, 5 AG, 5 LK Technical base id xx00b4b7

This troop type wears a suit of winterized T-51b power armor and is armed with an R91 assault rifle. They are only seen patrolling in and around the U.S. Army Field Headquarters. They are always male, but their race is random.

Oddly, unlike their powerful counterparts seen during the final battle at the oil refinery, the American T-51b units at the U.S. field hQ are only slightly more durable and skilled than the basic U.S. infantry soldiers (although they do have superior armor).

Wearing winterized T-51b power armor, power armored soldiers are armed with AER9 laser rifles, 10mm SMGs, R91 assault rifles, Chinese assault rifles, super sledges, scoped Gauss rifles, miniguns, flamers, and Fat Men. They are very effective against all Chinese forces. Their only weaknesses are pulse fields.

Most of these appear in the final confrontation with General Jingwei. Power armor soldiers are very powerful, with high health and good armor giving them slightly better durability than even a companion or super mutant master.

U.S. Paratrooper

Only one U.S. Paratrooper appears in the simulation, dropping from the ceiling of the Cave Outpost in The Guns of Anchorage and leaving his scoped Gauss rifle for the player to take after his winterized combat armor fails to protect him from Chinese soldiers. It is not worth trying to save him, because his death is a scripted event.

The player character in the simulation is also a paratrooper.

Notes

• It seems that General Chase had access to prototype VB-02 Vertibird gunship support during the campaign, although this might have been one of his additions to the simulation.

Notable quotes

• "The Stars and Stripes forever, you Commie sonsabitches!"
• "I ever tell you I got an aunt living in Anchorage? She's in there, somewhere. And by God, I'm gonna get those Reds out of her backyard!"
• "I got that "twitch" in my eyebrow. You know, the one I get when there's Commies around. Gonna be a fun day!"
• "We live through this, and you're buying the beers."
• "You know me; my day ain't complete without killing some Reds. So let's start the killin' already!"

Appearances

American soldiers appear in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

Bugs

• If the player takes too much time while trying to kill General Jingwei, power armored soldiers will attack him. This happens as the player character is assigned a temporary affiliation with the Chinese Faction so the dialogue with General Jingwei can occur - otherwise he would be forced to attack on sight by his AI. Although the Chinese turn hostile after the dialogue the affiliation remains and the American Faction, appearing only as the power armored soldiers, are hostile due to this affiliation.
