I think they had the Mi-8, and the Mi-2 in service at the time. Thats NVA at least. Don't think VC had any, as far as I know, VC were just the equivelent of Resistance in OFP. Soldiers and civilians who picked up a gun and fought the Americans, using they're knowlage of the area to their advantage. NVA were the real army, with the tanks and aircraft.

NVA hadn't any decent combat/transport chopper to replace the current soviet Mi-24...

soviet Mi-17 -> NVA Mi-8

soviet Mi-24 -> ?

well like you did in FFUR why not just use the nearest available addon like for a chopper in WW2 you could use the Huey cause its the earliest chopper i know but i dont suggest you do that for a WW2 one it would just look stupid

but you get what i mean

we already have vietnam coming out with the unsung guys along with SEB Nam 2...a WWIII scenerio with USA, China & Russia is the best way to go especially with VME's new addon...

But imagine how would be BIS campaigns and missions with chinese as resistance ... it won't be realistic anymore ! BIS campaigns won't worth anything because the story will break , the gameplay will freeze too though , it will freez less if chinese would be used instead of soviets...

But I still dunno , until now , the best choice to keep BIS scenario alive is simply to make a FFUR 85 / 2005

Resistance = Viet minhs men

Btw , have Vietcong soldiers got choppers or ? I know they had MiG-21 . but it's mainly a fighter , what jets have they used as bombers ?

Ok Here a quick History Lesson:

Vietcong: Vietnamese guerillas aiding the NVA and fighting agaist the republic of vietnam

NVA: North Vietnamese Army these guys have limited a airforce which includeds mi-8 and mig-21s

Republic of Vietnam: The democratic government in the south opposed the communistic ideals

So the vietcong who are mostly rice paddy farmers and traders gone guerillas with basic weapons and supplies that some how found its way to them from russia and china

Think of them likes the FIA is OFP, little technology but knowlegde of the terrain and a fierce will to fight

Oh yeah and if you do have a vietnam campaign add the french military to go along with it.

Heres my suggestions for the sides:

West - USA and France and Republic of Vietnam

East  - NVA and Vietcong

Res   - Generic guerillas and partisans from the South

Civ    - Vietnamese civies

Edit

Oh yeah have camera men and reports since vietnam was the "TV" war

Remember you dont always need to replace the hind with an NVA counterpart it could be just an mi-2 or something.

That would be a terrible idea, I know that people want realism but thats going over the edge, I dont think people want to see car bombs going off as this is one of the worst things in war. What else do you want? Random suicide bombings when theres a crowd of people?

people people people. thunderbirds idea, i believe, in the first place to create the FFUR was to refresh the units, models, etc, but keep the BIS campaign, doing vietnam wouldnt make a whole lot of sense...seeing as it was fought in a jungle, modern, which has already been done, could easily & obviously be done, but WW2 would be more welcome, BUT, there really would be no point whatsoever, because all of the good WW2 units havent been released (besides LIB) & even made yet (I44 US Army) If i were you i'd stick to 1985, it's far from perfect, as much as I like it. Plus, when I get Armed assault, i seriously doubt i'm going to immediatley want to use FFUR to replace newer models with older ones made by the community, just doesnt make sense.
