ok people. Don't you remember that addon that came out about 3 months ago. It was a plane with a side-firing turrent. It looked like the turrent in the ch47 but on a plane. It was really cool. Too bad I can't find it. I think it was on a project mod that was cancelled or something.

I'm trying to find these specific addons:
DWRnorthva2 (vc soldier) and EVI_UH1HUEY
to be able to play the Coop Mission <We were Soldier>
Would you be so kind as to indicate me where to find them?

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated

Best Regards

SJB

Thats my VERY old map, and its crap basically, so i wouldnt bother, but them addons are over at opflashpoint.org, but i did convert it to use the latest nam pack, but it was still quite buggy and couldnt be botherd to fix it.......

[stevick]

You haven't read the same critics than me my friend.  This mission of yours is rated 9 on 10.  

I went on OPFlashpoint.org and found one of the files: EVI_U1Huey (thanx), but the other one: DWRnorthva2 wasn't there.

If you have it on your own computer, you can send it over to me if you want    my e-mail address is :  stevick@videotron.ca  

Thanx, once again.

SJB

P.S. If you have more missions of this kind, please let me know where to find them.

I hawe alvays been wondering what was the task of the Aircavarly
at vietnam war? And what kind of missions they hawe back then?
If somebody could tell me that shortly and simply i would be very happy

[Vyper]

heres what i know (or think i do, if i'm wrong apologies and please correct me).

They would fly into otherwise basically unreachable area's on the Slicks (UH-1D or H Huey's) and take the groud..basically a surprise attack.  If you rolled hundreds of troops through the jungle spotters would see them and report back quicky, the same with armoured infantry however the first thing a spotter would see of the Air Cav would usually be the Slicks putting down.  Fast mobile infantry with no armour to go in with or extremely heavy weapons.  Relied greatly on air support from the gunships which were firstly UH-1B or C Huey's with grenade launchers, mini-guns and rockets mounted.  With the introduction of the AH-1G Huey Cobra these faised out the larger slower huey's and teamed up with OH-6 Cayuse helicopters to create pink teams.  The OH-6's would swoop down drawwing fire and then the AH-1G's would follow laying down fire on wherever it had come up to greet the Cayuse.  The Air Cav rolled in on choppers but could march out fo a hot zone but mostly exfilled on choppers too...there are loads of websites around going in to much more accurate detail about their role.

I know its a movie and its got flaws but the basic role was well depicted in "We Were Soldiers"...good movie, i reckomend it.

Hello,

i am just searching the following topic: Does the NVA really uses T34s in Nam ? What was the color schema ? What was the numbering ? How many LAWs took it to destroy a T34 ?

[Joe]

just stumbled upon this question, here is an answer:
to my knowledge NVA had T34-85 tanks. but in RVN they seem to have used only amphibous tanks (PT76), probably because these were easier to deploy via the laotian mountains.
exhaustive information at http://www.gruntonline.com
look for PAVN Armor
there is also a good account of the attack on Lang Vei, were Laws proved rather ineffective against PT76.

Hello there ! and big thanks for the SebNam !!

I'm working on a BIG campaign based on the life of an helicopter pilot. First theatre : Vietnam !
Only 5 missions done but I'm working  

First of all, some questions just to know if I'm right...

- Do you prefer to wait untill the whole campaign is finish or do you want it "cut" by theatre ?
- Do you preffer a website with all missions downloadable () as soon as they are ready ?
- Are you OK for REAL pilot missions ? Meaning not a lt of shooting but hight skill in flying required.
- For now I'm planning to use ONLY Mod addons ( ex : only Sebnam2 or only BAS pack...) because tehre's nothing more boring for me to run after addons I will use only once... but if you think some particular addons are necessary, please tell me.

Now to accelerate my production I need :

-SERIOUS beta tester. Meaning with experience on editor to hunt the bugs, correct my english, tell me problems, feeling about mission and gameplay etc etc ...
-Missions makers are welcome as long as they can produce a mission from A to Z.
-Voices (male and viril  ;D ;D)
- and of course your idea, as long as it stick with my optic  
That's all for now !!

A+

The Helipilot !

A pity so many of these are dead links now

Maybe some members such as myself have a couple of the pages archived on their HDDs?
