  Southern Armies – US, Australian and Vietnamese Army

  The Southern Army has superior firepower and mobility, and each army has its own unique support weapons:

  • U.S. Army and Marine Corps – Airburst bombs, Ghost helicopter gunships, and napalm airstrikes
  • Australian Army – Canberra bomber pair and heavy artillery
  • Army of the Republic of Vietnam – medium-range mortar barrages and napalm strikes from older A-1 Skyraiders

  In terms of mobility, they have comprehensive helicopter support:

  • UH-1 Huey: Can quickly deliver a squad to every corner of the map.
  • OH-6 “Loach”: can be used as a reconnaissance aircraft or an airborne command center; at the same time, because it is equipped with rapid-fire machine guns, it is also a fast armed helicopter.
  • AH-1G Cobra: Heavily armored attack helicopter with a variety of weapons for the pilot and weapons officer to choose from
  • Australian “Bush Gunship”: A variant of the Huey helicopter equipped with twin M60 machine guns, rapid-fire machine guns and rockets.

  Tactically, the squad leader of the Southern Army is very important – as long as the squad leader is alive and in the right position, the other members of the squad will respawn at his position. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the squad leader survives at the critical moment!

  In terms of weapons, the Southern Army was equipped with the best weapons from Western countries: from old, World War II-era weapons to new weapons developed using the most advanced technology at the time:

  • The M1 Garand rifle, M2 carbine, M3 “oil gun”, Browning automatic rifle, and .30 caliber M1919 light machine gun.
  • M14 battle rifle, M40 and XM21 sniper rifles
  • M60 light machine gun and M16 automatic rifle
  • Heavy support weapons – M79 grenade launcher and M9A1-7 flamethrower
  • Explosives – M61 fragmentation grenades, M8 smoke grenades, C4 bombs and M18 Claymore mines

  Northern Army – North Vietnamese Army and Vietcong

  The soldiers of the Northern Army come from a wide range of sources: the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN or VNA) is a disciplined standing army and is the main force with better equipment; in contrast, the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (NLF) is mainly composed of guerrillas, using various Russian and Chinese weapons that have been passed to them – they are also called the Vietcong. In terms of support weapons:

  • Vietnam People’s Army – heavy artillery, surface-to-air missile defenses, and rapid support from the Ho Chi Minh Trail
  • The National Liberation Front of South Vietnam – a fierce barrage of mixed ammunition (mortars, rockets, white phosphorus bombs)

  Compared with the mobility of the Southern Army, the Northern Army also has unique mobility and stealth capabilities:

  • Vietnamese and Vietcong squad leaders can dig tunnels across a wide area of ​​the map, allowing their squads to quickly appear at the mission location, even behind enemy lines
  • With the “homeland advantage”, all the Vietnamese People’s Army and Vietcong soldiers crouching and lying in the bunkers could not be discovered by the helicopters or planes of the Northern Army.
  • SAM-2 missiles – If the commander can grasp the opportunity, calling in surface-to-air missiles can quickly counterattack the air force of the Southern Army
  • Ho Chi Minh Trail capability – Vietnamese and Vietcong commanders can activate this capability to speed up the appearance of combat teams in critical situations
  • Ambush Call Ability – PAVN and VC commanders can call on ready members of their team to appear at their location to initiate a potentially devastating ambush.

  The weapons used by the northern armies varied – the North Vietnamese Army was better equipped, with modern weapons provided by Russia and China; the Vietcong had to use a variety of weapons:

  • AK-47 and Type 56 assault rifles
  • Russian SKS-45 and American M1 Garand, and Mosin-Nagant 91/30 rifles
  • Mosin-Nagant 91/30 and SVD sniper rifles
  • PPSh-41 and MAT-49 submachine guns
  • IZh-58 double-barreled shotgun
  • DP-28 and RPD light machine guns
  • RPG-7 rocket launcher
  • MD-82 infantry mines, tripwires and bamboo spike traps
