Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/P-8 Mouse

The P-8 Mouse is a vehicle found in Fallout: The Frontier.

Background
The P-8 mouse is one of the largest tanks ever constructed by the US military. It is a tank capable of firing a much heavier tank shell than the standard tanks, and with enough armor to brush off a TB44 while maintaining an optimal roving speed.

The P-8 Mouse is in the Alpha phase and a fully function prototype has yet to be assembled. Once the design was finalized and put in mass production, the p-8 mouse was intended be used to counter the Chinese Chimera tanks in Anchorage

Locations

 * Tank Assembly Plant

Tank assembly walktrough
''Note: You need to do the NCR sidequest Slavers trouble and Man hunt (major Hartgrave, NCR headquarters and Cpt Reyes, Vanguard Outpost) for the key to the Generator room. The key can be found on a dead pre war soldier laying in the back of an open truck (Robco Prison Facility) when doing the last stage of the Man hunt quest.''
 * Go to the terminal that is located in the left side of the hall to open the hatch downstairs. You will need the key you got during the Slavers trouble quest to open the door to the sublevel power generator room.
 * There are 2 small switches on the left and the right side of the level. Once both are on go to the end of the level and turn on the generator.


 * First put in the the tank engine; On the assemble line directly right there is a engine sitting on a platform. Use the controls on the wall to move the platform next to the Tank. Use the crane controls (looks like a panel that is used to open vaults) to put the crane on top of the engine. You will get an option to pick up the engine with the crane controls. Put the engine in the tank using the crane controls.


 * Secondly, To left of the assemble line there is a tank turret. Use the controls wall controls on that side to put the turret in line with the crane. After picking it up you put in on top of the tank.


 * Thirdly, There are two P-8 Mouse threads to be found; one is behind the Mouse and the other is in the small area to the left. Before you can put them on you need to raise the platform where the tank is standing on. The controls are attached to the platform.
 * Once you put the threads on and lowered the platform you need 30 Jerry cans to get it running. A couple of them can be found in the parking lot outside.


 * After refulling you can enter the tank and drive to main door in the middle of the plant, the game will put you outside.

Behind the scenes
The P-8 mouse is most likely a recreation of the German Panzer VIII Maus. Both tanks never got passed the prototype phase and only 1 derivable model exists.
