The graphics are nice. No doubt about that. But there's just two weeeeeeee little problems with a Soviet paint scheme on a set of power armor. 1) The United States invented and utilized Power Armor. Not the Soviets. 2) Citing the fact that the Commonwealth...the Capital Wasteland...and New Vegas (as well as practically ALL of the United States) is in the shape it's in...because of a WAR with COMMUNISTS. USSR and Communist China would have been allies in the 50's (when this lore takes place). Tossing a Communist in power armor into the Commonwealth would be like tossing a rabbit into a wolf's den. Just some food for thought.
I'm pretty sure it's literally just a paintjob to be cool. Not to mention I'm pretty sure the US actually worked WITH the USSR against China during the war. Also the lore doesn't take place in the 50's, it takes place from 2077 to around 2280 and the '50's fashion' is simply due to our technology never advancing as much as it could have due to the silicon chip never being invented. Besides all of THOSE facts, the x-01 was a prototype, therefore everything that exists for it in game shouldn't actually exist, as these aren't Enclave suits, they're prototype / first run suits.
The Soviet Union and China were not exactly friends in our own timeline. It's called the "Sino-Soviet Split." The almost went to war over it. The Fallout Universe diverges from our own on this point in that the Sino-Soviet Split was even more severe. In the fallout Universe they were outright enemies, and relations between the USSR and the USA actually normalized in the 60's. It's the explanation that is given as to why the USSR survived into 2077, and why the US and China are such bitter enemies; China filled the role that the Soviet Union played in our actual universe. Without US pressure, the Soviet Union was able to survive.
It's never directly stated which side the USSR was on in the Great War, but given their fairly friendly relationship with the US, and their bitter rivalry with the China, it's safe to assume that their Nukes were actually aimed at Beijing instead of Washington.
"Great job" but you not decided to ask permission to use someone else's content, comrade. You have not done this, then at least prescribe me in the credits.
