And in your downtime you got to have fun trying to turn some bodies into red paste! Or, as a Russian run around with your suppressed revolver and pretend to be a super special operative. On that note I really would love another suppressed weapon in RS2, particularly for the North so I can become a killer bush. I'm not counting on it though, as I imagine the suppressed M14 sniper is already pushing it in terms of historical context.

Meh - I think Vietnam does it decently enough. Never had a problem returning fire in RO2 or Rising Storm 1.
I think Machine Gun suppression is weak, I get suppressed by explosives all the time but popping out to snipe a machine gunner isn't really the hardest thing to do. It's also the reason why people don't deploy machine guns very often, because if you have more than one target, you can't rely on suppression to keep yourself safe, they'll just pop up and shoot you as soon as you stop shooting them. I even had a machine gun fight once silly as it was, we both went full auto at each other for 2-3 seconds and I came out on top and despite that I was only lightly suppressed (edges get fuzzy, but nothing crippling). Compare that to an artillery blast or two, which gets you seeing double and takes a good few seconds to fade.
Machine guns in general feel a little underpowered compared to regular rifles. They had great utility and firepower in RO2 since most players were running around with bolt actions. In RS2 though they just feel like automatic rifles but with zero flexibility.
Well on the North-Vietnamese side they're pretty good anti-air weapons at least.
It would be good if on certain maps one side had a tank available in certain circumstances. If they ever made a fall of Saigon map it would be amazing to ram the palace gates in an NVA tank while the ARVN are shitting themselves.
theres a fall of saigon custom map and its both a fucking terrible map and a pretty awesome map at the same time.
I found a new way to play the game https://i.imgur.com/t0JWtSy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ebEDKis.jpg
One of the most satisfying, cheesy things in this game is when you get the range on a chokepoint just right with the M79
Even more satisfying was when you got the range just right on the Knee Mortar without even having visual on the target zone. I remember once I wiped out half the first wave with a mortar barrage.
I held the roof of the police station on Chu Chi clear all round by lobbing 40mms from US spawn right into the stairwell whenever I saw movement.
I'll just use a whole PG-7 to kill a single man at point blank. This is how you employ launchers on the battlefield. https://streamable.com/a3gpc https://cdn-b-east.streamable.com/video/mp4/a3gpc.mp4?token=3pVZXvw77EWsS8kPtqn5Lw&expires=1529119525
