You only list couple vehicles, will it include the Chinook and Cobra along with the Huey thats already listed?

[alduric 10]

This is not full list ofc. I will not tel at this moment what exacly it will include.

[Tyl3r99 41]

:O well done sir!! this is what you have been doing!!

1 quick question :P

will the vegetation block the enemies LOS also?

i know that UNSUNG in arma 2 this was not the case and the AI would kill you through 100m of pure foliage

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Is it just me are are you beginning to spread yourself just a little bit thin?

Looking forward to this all the same. Not enough Vietnam stuff out there. :)

Sorry :(

[theevancat 277]

I can't model but I can texture (albeit I've only started) if you need help or an extra hand with that.

[scarecrow398 43]

Can't help much on the creative side but if you need reference/input/info on the Aussies let me know and I'll see what I can dig up if I don't have anything on hand.

[disco.modder 116]

Great to see Australia featured in a Vietnam mod!

Alduric, would you consider throwing New Zealand in the mix forming the ANZAC together with Australia? In which case would also form the ANZUS.

Edited January 22, 2014 by Modder
added ANZUS

[alduric 10]

Did New Zeland also fight in Vietnam? Damn i need to dig some infos and photos - But ofc! If NZ also was there, they will be inside A3CV.

PS no shit - I wish to live or at last visit New Zeland, so hard.... QQ

Yep, certainly did although just in small numbers. Source: http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/asian-conflicts/page-5

Since I dont have much information about their equipment during the war, Id imagine they'd be almost the exact same as the Aussies, just with different flags where applicable.

Oh, come down to Aus first before going to NZ. :P

[alduric 10]

Okay why not? They will looks probably the same, but with another flag :)

[theevancat 277]

IIRC the Koreans had similar equipment as the US and were the 2nd largest force there.

[scarecrow398 43]

AFAIK there wasn't much in the way of kiwi combat troops, mostly heavy arty (which was attached to american/Australian arty units), medical and engineer teams and the NZSAS (which was attached to the Australian SAS).

Though, both countries wore OD uniforms (shoulder flags weren't a thing at the time and the NZ, AU and US Special forces were pretty much all using vietnam produced tiger stripe at the time or ERDL if tiger was unavailable), used the same rifles (L1A1 SLR's and M16's. SF typically had modified L2A1's which were automatic, typically had cut down barrels, heatguards and such for weight and access to larger 30rnd mags and american XM148 grenade launchers.) and equipment.

Yup, contribution wise it was ARVN, US, SK and AU with a bunch of other countries in the south east asia area making up the rest.

Can any1 convirm that US and Australian forces used Thompson and Garand ALSO with M16 and other stuff?

[Tyl3r99 41]

erm im not sure if they were used together... as the m16 kind of took over the Thompson.

but they did use carbines

[JackBender 10]

Here you'll find a lot of pictures about gears, camos and everything maybe that this could help you: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?125381-Vietnam-war-era-pics-of-special-units-LRRPS-MACV-SOG-AATV-SEALS-FFL-GREEN-BERETS/page52

By the way I really like that idea, cold war era addons are the things that I really miss in that game. I'm tired of modern addons, So I'm looking forward to it ! Unfortunately I can't help with models only with textures. :(

[alduric 10]

Thanks JackBender, so i will add garands and thompsons m1 - Those guns was also used in vietnam ( I love them )

Whats new?

- I just finish Hueys, works great - Left and Right gunner working properly!

- Got guns: M16A1, M16A1GL, M16A2, M16A2GL, M14, M60, COLT1911,FN-FAL (used as i saw on photos), rpg18.

Now im going to work on Australians uniforms, hats and new backpacks.

[scarecrow398 43]

Never seen it used, I recall the marines having the thompson early on in the war but the Garand was replaced by the M14 by that point.

Weapons used by the ANZACs were L1A1 (FN Fal) SLRs, L2A1 support weapons (heavy barrel, automatic FN Fals), M16's, M79's, XM148's.

Also the M16A2 wasn't introduced until the late 80's... it was originally a product improvement based on experience from vietnam.

[alduric 10]

Cant agree, wiki says that US used Garands and Thompson at first phase of war ( http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c33702/2f258fd1-b8c7-4f22-9873-001f1d32cd84.jpg ) ofc m14 replaced it, but it was later...So why not to add those guns anyway?

[Tyl3r99 41]

add them all ;)

[JackBender 10]

It depends on what units you're talking about, for example the special forces used nearly every gun from the WW2... By the way will you include custom animations ?

[PenguinInATuxedo 18]

I don't have a god Alduric but I think you might be in contention for the position.

[disco.modder 116]

Weapons used by the ANZACs were L1A1 (FN Fal) SLRs, L2A1 support weapons (heavy barrel, automatic FN Fals), M16's, M79's, XM148's

Additionally, the Owen smg was used earlier in the Vietnam war which was later replaced by the F1 smg.

[Tyl3r99 41]

just bang them all in there..

example.. Rifleman (M16)

Rifleman (m14) (carbine) (Thompson) etc etc

could do this with every unit so we get the choice :P

or if bis hurrys up and implements that inventory editor
