When I played it, Fallout tactics gave me a good case of tank scare:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When fighting beastlords and raiders, I kept a party of 6 soldiers with AK-47s. They went forward in a line and everything that they met got killed very quickly with single shots. When enemies decided to charge them, my guys would stand in line and what happened to enemies can be described by one word: wet. Gutts on the floor and their equipment was sold for Brotherhood of Steel bucks.

Then, came the mission with super mutants... The ones without armor fell to my line, but then a mutant clad in thick steel armor charged... My squad fired a volley. Another one. The mutant kept coming at me... They switched to burst fire and kept spraying - useless... I can understand what German soldiers felt at Somme...

I finished the mission with 2 causalties and was happy to have been able to finish it at all. The first thing I did was hire some heavy weapon specialists. .50 cal machinegun could solve supermutant problem just fine

Yeah, the mutant missions are great fun. After that though, it starts to go downhill.

Whenever I play Tactics, I usually just play the first half of the game.

The first mission with super mutants? You can do the nearly whole thing inside the APC... get a good driver, and you can crush super mutants under the tracks and fire point blank at him from behind the armored plates.

If you drive carefully you can drive the APC over those trenches.

I just loved those random encounters in Fallout 1&2

Like the Monty Python's guardian of the bridge in F2, it was just so hilarious to strut around in his plasma-resistant robe.
Then there was the Dog(what was his name?) in the middle of total carnage. The one with cursed aura. I swear, he must have some 1000hp when healthy.
Or in F1, I once found the dead guys in a flying saucer right after leaving the vault. That little red gun a'la 50's sci-fi movies was just amazing.

If you see that dog, it's time to reload. The effects won't end even after it's dead.
