[QUOTE=spekter;52292455]and there's enough detail to distinguish friend or foe they don't need to look shit-hot.[/QUOTE]
To be honest though this is sometimes a problem for me, especially with camo-and-helmet-wearing NVA troops when I play US. Looks like a bloody American! I'm sure I'll learn it with time, but for now, I get killed fairly frequently by passing them by.

[QUOTE=SergerantJoe;52292499]Might as well keep using this thread, it's for the entire series, RO1-RS2. Although who even talks about RO1 anymore lol.[/QUOTE]
To be honest I sometimes still fire up RO1, since it just had some damn amazing maps and weapons variety.
MP41 in RO2 when?!

To be honest I start too many sentences with 'to be honest'.
Game is quite fun. Think I saw LeonS? That was some good shot I got on you there.
Seems like they balanced out Hills tickets. VC dont get depleted after 10 minutes now.
Arsenal Overhaul is out!

The thumbnail is a bit misleading because I haven't added the MG34 yet, but I'm slowly getting there!
EDIT: Fak, doesn't seem to be working at the moment. It's set to Public but there's something else blocking access.
Well, here's what the page looks like at least:

With how shitty it is to aim the Loach's minigun, it might as well not have one lol. One kill with it in the entire beta up to now
Went flying for one whole hour and

By the time you're done flying with me, you're gonna look like this guy

First day and I got a 250m headshot with the SKS :dance:

How much are tickets
So today, I got my tail rotor shot off on AnLao while trying to move people to C ( I think I just got dumb and got too close to the MG) and went into a tailspin. I then tried to take off to head back to A safe landing zone, but I managed to smack my tail into a rice paddy wall while on a decent, and piledrived 3 guys and myself to a 30 sec respawn
Life is hard as a transport pilot.
How do I spot with the Scout Helicopter?
Just fly under 100m or something
My life philosophy consists of napalm and 7.62 mm:s
My word, smoke grenades are so helpful. At this point I just go pointman as a SL to make sure I have them to help facilitate pushes over open terrain and to rally the team to trust them enough to push up.
I just wish SL actually got smoke grenades no matter the class but oh well.
We had two SLs that placed tunnels in a gigantic open rice field.
There sure were corpses, over and over again; the horror
[editline]31st May 2017[/editline]
At least they placed tunnels, like some others don't
I love how firefights in this game look like firefights from actual file footage from the war. And how your best bet starting out is to stay low and stick to other guys in your squad/team instead of lone wolfing it.
Was in a game where a pilot heard of or saw that pilots in vietnam would smoke blunts or some shit and pull off sick maneuvers, he just started RP'ing that shit all the way through and when some players would get annoyed at how bad the flying was or how he kept getting shot down, he did a damn ace job of the banter that ensued. Hilariously funny and was a "good" pilot in the sense that he could fly that crazy and still land atleast half the time.
Pointman is the best role for squad leader

If I'm vietnamese I'll play whatever. If I'm marines I favor grunt or radioman, with the logic being that the people spawning on me should be the combat specialties we need on the front at any given moment. Radioman has smoke, and since you should be playing conservatively as an American SL anyway, makes support role a natural fit. Most commanders don't even bother though.

no, pointmen should be first in and clearing traps. they offer nothing as SL other than smokes. theyre good for supplementing a squad, not leading it.
grenadier best SL
FACT
you can engage dug in enemies at a safe distance and provide direct fire on positions and suppression so your squad can move in. plus you get smoke rounds that you can deploy further than regular smoke grenades. its the perfect, sit in the back as a moving spawn point and also help team do shit class.
Marksman is also pretty good
the only problem is when retards spawn on you, see you sitting back, and think that they should sit back too and try to snipe with their M16s

that's what they get for running in front of their commander
it kinda annoys me that grunts don't get sidearms

Now I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure that guys dead, fell apart like a lego man.
The marksman class is disgusting, I got 47 kills in one round with it defending on Cu Chi.
On the other hand I'm having a lot of problems I didn't have in beta. Smoke grenades not drawing smoke (can't tell if its just for me or for enemies as well), players jittering and lagging around, sync kills. I haven't changed anything on my end but its pretty annoying. Game just feels jankier.
I'm glad the mosin is every bit as good as I want it, even when playing VN basic rifleman.
Probably a shitty comparison but if I loved battlefield vietnam to bits will I like this? I played RO2 a bit but for some reason it just never really clicked for me
