Forum:Was the Great War an atomic war or hydrogen-war?

Were the bombs they launched in the Great War all atom bombs? or H-bombs? In Fallout 3, all the remaining bombs we found from Megaton or Fort Constantine were actually A-bombs, which all very similar to the Fat Man in WW2. but I just can't see any H-bomb, and the Delta-X rocket clearly just not big enough for a hydrogen-payload. BTW, the destruction in the DC was ......much like resulted from a conventional war instead of a nuclear war. I know the DC did suffer terrible destruction, but in a real nuclear war it should have far more destruction: Many buildings should have been UPROOTED instead of remaining stand, the The Washington Monument should have fallen......etc Also, is the Megaton bomb an American bomb? or Chinese?

The bomb in Megaton is American. the plane carrying it crashed there. Even though the damage to DC looks like it's from non-nuclear weapons it was an atomic war. Bethesda scaled back the damage after doing research of historic atomic blasts and realissing if they made the damage to scale there would be no buildings whatsoever in DC or the Capitol Wastland. Making for a really dull game. Mr.goodtrips 19:17, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't call Fallout and Fallout 2 dull. :) Ausir 20:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I should clarify that I meant visually uninteresting. Mr.goodtrips 20:45, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Same. Pretty much no pre-war building survived intact in the cities in FO1 and 2, and I wouldn't call them visually uninteresting. Ausir 20:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
