ARVN Airborne Vietnam War
This is a small infantry config faction made using SOG Prairie Fire, S&S assets, Laffing Lizard’s Bush Retextures for S&S and Phantom Phixers. I really wanted to utilise the excellent French style Brush Stroke & Vertical Lizard camo from Laffin’ Lizard & the ARVN ERDL and customised helmets from Phantom Phixers. I have tried to base the faction addon on research. In particular i have used several Osprey Miltary books depicting ARVN Airborne units from the early and later phases of the Vietnam War. However i have added certain ‘fantasy’ elements to make use of some of the cool S&S gear! This is a separate release to my other ARVN faction config as it contains more depencies (mentioned above) than just CBA and S&S and i am aware some of us don’t like to overload the mod list.
I have given the ARVN units Chinese voices to allow for better immersion when in firefights. US Advisors have American voices.
I used ALIVE’s ORBAT creator to make the factions so you cannot override the units’ loadouts unlesss you have ALIVE loaded. I don’t know how to get around this i’m afraid. You can still add items and change gear once the mission starts through Arsenal/boxes etc.
You’ll find the following groups in the mod under ‘ARVN Airborne Vietnam War’:
ARVN Airborne, early war (1964)
– Several diffferent groups from squads and sniper teams to platoons in full gear with backpacks using surplus French camo based on British WW2 patterns and basic US equipment
– MACV advisors to ARVN Airborne
ARVN Airborne, later war (1968)
– Several diffferent groups from squads and sniper teams to platoons in full gear with backpacks using ARVN ERDL camo, some with graffitied or custom painted helmets
– MACV advisors to ARVN Airborne
Thanks to simcardo for the wonderful S&S, the SOGPF team, Meloncat for Laffing Lizard and Delta-Gamma for Phantom Phixers.
