Forum:Question, and a gap?

Ok, I made a topic, and it's been deleted, twice! Please stop!

Plus, I detect a gap in the Fallout Universe! The Nuclear Exchange, wouldn't Anti - Missile Defense Facilities destroy them effortlessly? I mean seriously, a single small anti - missile defense facility would be able to take on like 30 effortlessly, and the U.S has at least 57 today, and the Fallout Universe has them like uber teched out, so you can see where I'm going, got to at least have 100 LARGE facilities in Fallout no? And even more because they are in a way with a nuclear power, so yeah... And even then, WHY would people think it's a drill? People would take it seriously, plus they don't know it's a drill, even today people would take it seriously, back then in the 1960s which is the time era style Fallout is locked in, people took EVERYTHING seriously... Fallout just needed a excuse to not have a lot of people..... Plus, it completely ignores everyone besides the U.S.A and China, what about the other countries? Was Europe devasted? Probably not, most of the U.S.A's tech is made in Europe, so they would have even more missile defense facilities and what - not. Oh, the nuclear ash would fall and make a Nuclear Winter, ALL OF TODAY'S NUCLEAR WEAPONS AT ONE WOULDN'T MAKE A SMALL SCALE NUCLEAR WINTER... And even if you doubled that, it would be on a small scale, about 3 - 4 months, and then it would take another month for the Earth to start to recover... And Fallout after 200 years hasn't started to recover at all, that is way unrealistic, Fallout has so many gaps now that I look at it, I wish Bethesda was more thorough........

 * SDI devices and anti-missile systems were never developed, because modern circuts were never developed. Vaccuum tubes wouldn't be able to make an SDI system effective enough to stop nukes without being a hideously massive target itself. Nitty Tok. 21:48, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

But still, it doesn't make sense that no one would not attempt to make a Missile Defense Facility, why didn't they think of building one? Were they like; " Oh, we'll just totally not build any and hope that they have none "
 * The US Government and the Enclave decided that the best hope was sheltering the populace, not shooting down the missiles. They wanted Chinamen to die at any cost, so nuclear winter would actually be the best thing to happen for the American war machine. Nitty Tok. 22:10, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Who says they didn't? It's possible that missile ECM were simply better, not to mention that even modern-day missile defence systems are pretty unreliable and the coverage is even. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 22:23, October 9, 2010 (UTC)\

With SDI's the way to beat them is simple: build more nukes and overload the system. This fear of "More nukes" is why currently treaties exist to discourage them. A SDI has to be successful every single time to work. A nuke only has to be lucky once. Agent c 23:24, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

"Fallout has so many gaps now that I look at it, I wish Bethesda was more thorough........" dude, all the gaps you mentioned were overlooked by Black Isles, not Bethesda. Bethesda just continued the series. Anyway, who gives a fuck about realistic mistakes? If i'm reading right, youre saying that the nuclear apocalypse would not have happened at all. and if it didnt happen, there wouldnt be a post-apocalyptic game. would you rather Fallout, and awesome game series, not exist just cuz the creators thought of a Good backstory, and not a flawless one?
