T-51b military paint scheme?

[Urban Samurai]

Looking online I'm getting mixed messages about the existence of a US army paint for the T-51b, even Google shows a T-51b with a military paint job in the style like what you'd see displayed in the atom shop, but clicking it takes you to a barebones wiki for several other sets. I hope this isn't an unused paint job...

Ah cheers, I couldn't check in game cause update still downloading.

So it’s not there for me, guess this is an old screenshot. Ah well guess I just gotta wait for it to appear again.

They are not currently featured on the shop, I was able to take a screenshot because I had already purchased them. You can buy them through bethesda support if you want them now and don't mind paying full price

It's a paint set for all armors, but, Raider, Hellfire, and Union Power Armor. It's nice.

Makes you wonder if you armor, is high, low, or medium for production, with the serial numbers for tracking, painted on the suit, not the series of T-something. But, how many in U.S. inventory, pre-war. It will be on sale this week.

Idk the lore on it but it's nice to have some actual military markings, I feel like they should of been the stock paint just a bit worn given they're all military suits. But yeah I guess the numbers are likely a serial number of sorts.

It's a different paint, for each Power Armor, but, the ones that, I listed. The Paint does not turn all armor into, T-51 Power Armor.

But is a Army Power Armor Paint for Each, different Power Armor. With different tracking numbers, for each, high numbers for T-45, T-51. Low numbers for the T-65, Excavator, Ultrasite. Medium numbers for the T-60.

Did the Army Core of Engineers, use the Excavator, for digging tunnels? Testing it out, so many questions, but no answers.

Huh that's very interesting, lower numbers for canonically rarer armour, also I suppose excavator sets were used by sappers and engineers. Nice touch with the numbers by whoever made the paint scheme.

[Prussian_Dude]

That was my thought, Sappers, Engineers, the Railroad laying battalion, for tunnels, and trackbed.

from the way I understand in game lore, the excavator power armor was a creation of the mining company and was not created by anyone but them for their own use in the mine as a counter to using bots.

I highly doubt the US military would have access to excavator power armor and would have fielded it, the power armor was an offensive infantry weapon turning the soldier into a walking tank.

Could the Army have had it for testing, for tunneling? If I remember, it's numbered 495, for the excavator paint, in the set.

Replacing heavy equipment, for mining out rock? A group of men, with a few Power Armor suits? Fusion Cores in the military were not too rare with all the power armor. That is the question. High numbers, we found this in the area, and it was shipping out as the bombs dropped?

Low numbers, and somebody at the Department of Defense/War was trying to get accepted, or as a stop gap measure? Will we get a holo log, or a terminal entry? That might be, too much to ask.

But, it's fun to wonder.

Yeah it’s interesting to think about, seeing a military base with various different suits doing different jobs would be pretty cool to see. Also given the messy lore now I’d say it’s safe to assume there was a couple suit designs the military got their hands on that isn’t mentioned, cause you know military secrets etc.
