    Why it's called "rushed" is due to its flaws. Somehow less protective than later models (less DT/DR in game), bulkier (gives agility penalty in FO3 and FONV), and unreliable power source ( T45 relied on energy cells, which dried up rather quickly. T51 and later model use fusion cell or built in reactors). Due to these factors, T45 can only "stablize" the front, not "kick the red back to their homefront".

    I still headcanon that the Brotherhood had T-51 when they arrived in the Capital Wasteland, but since they elected to stay - they couldn't maintain them effectively. Not to mention their numbers were far smaller. They then discovered T-45s in the Pentagon armory with the proper equipment to maintain them. And many more to supply their numbers.

    Personally, the T-60 should've been a T-45 that was modified with parts from the Enclave Shocktrooper and Hellfire power armors - after the East Coast Brotherhood defeated them in DC, and reverse engineered those armors to become compatible with the armor they were using - that would've been a far better lore addition than just making the T-60 pre-war and somehow only be in Boston for Fallout 4's narrative.

    T-51 was deployed to the Alaskan Front as well as put into general use with the military, as we see on the occupation forces in Canada shown in Fallout 1's intro cinematic. The T-60 was also being rolled out to units on the homefront before the war, as the military guards at Vault 111 are wearing suits of it.

    You would think that number is based on the year it was designed (such as the B52 bomber) but that isn't qauite how it worked. The T45 series entered service around 2067 with the T51 prototypes coming into play in the early 2070s. Tests at Fort Strong started on the T51b in 2075. With deployments of the modified T51bs occurring in 2076. I don't think the production history of the T60 has been introduced in Fallout lore yet. But Bethesda put itself in a corner. While fleshing out the history of the T51b, they didn't leave a window for the creation of the T60. As the early stages of T51b testing was meer months before the war started. The only solution is that the T60 was on its own production outside of the T51b and the T51b was intended for core frontline troops. While the T60 was intended for special forces but became a propaganda tool and thus prototypes were handed off to multiple groups and businesses to be part of the propaganda campaign. It may even be that the T60 wasn't even out of testing phase when the war occurred. One of the things the X-01 did differently in its design was shielding around the neck. Something that was missing in all of the T series. Which indicates even in the T60 series improvements to the desing was still needed.

Explains why the DR on the 60 model isn't as good as the T-51, but superior in terms of RR because of a genuine concern over nuclear war. May be headcanon, but T-60 was also easier to repair, like its predecessor the T-45. With supply lines being an issue, I could see needing a more rugged and sustainable design rather than a high-performance one.

    I mean yeah. You need more than a weapon capable of destroying them to have effective countermeasure, that's why tank and planes are still a thing despite SAM, and Anti-Tank infantry weapon existing. The chinese probably couldn't organize and or supply equipment in a way that would allow them to counter effectively the new US heavy infantry. They probably lacked the tank number to match power armor number, and or couldn't meet them in situation they coud leverage their advantage. And probably couldn't supply enough anti armor to their infantry, or it was simply not effective enough as trying to aim a rocket launcher while being fired upon by a 5mm minigun is not conducive to the act of living.

    It's not a spring lock effect. A weld is the joining of 2 pieces of metal together typically with flux. In the show, it's stated that the location the weld is made is a very vulnerable weak spot. Those aren't trapped guys in disabled armor, they're dying because they got shot through the armor.

    It wasn't to make you into a living tank. it was to turn you into a living weapons platform.

    I think T45 is an example of how you retcon something into the lore in a good way(T60 being the opposite). Original Fallout lore was T51B was the most advanced power armour before the war. It makes sense that whilst you are producing this advanced composite armour youd crank out production of something essentially made out of conventional armour plate as well stop gap whilst you are gearing up for the more advanced model.
