      @Patriotusa44 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't think that's entirely true. It really was because of trying to put in a full 20rds into a gun with the bolt closed, it would need more persuasion to get the mag to click into place. It is why modern 30 rounder mags are usually loaded with 28 rds. The Vietnam era 20 rd magazine was made for 20 rds.
      The designers aren't stupid. Why would they do pretty well with the design of the gun itself and then just half ass it on the magazine? Look up Small Arms Solutions and his video What Happened to the M16 in Vietnam. He says that exact thing.

    You can also play this content with other mods and make it even more challenging and realistic. My group uses the ACE3 Medical system combined with KAT Medical, so when someone goes down you absolutely have to employ TCCC effectively if you even want a chance to get them back up. ACE3 adds many different types of wounds, anything from minor abrasions to large crush wounds, punctures, avulsions, bone fractures, lacerations, etc. KAT Medical also expands things further to include features like airway management. As a lead medic, you might regularly have 2-3 guys working on one patient applying tourniquets, splints, checking vitals, performing CPR, setting up IVs (saline, plasma, Blood - make sure it's the right type), checking for airway obstructions, applying hemostatic agents for clotting while packing wounds, then wrapping them up with elastic bandages, etc. The way we prefer to play: if you have a severe wound, you must be moved to a higher level of care to get a "full heal" before you're able to be reinserted back into the fight as a "reinforcement". And that depends on MEDEVAC / CASEVAC / transport availability. The challenge of managing a mass casualty event, compiling ACE and MIST reports, throwing together a 9-Line, directing LZ operations for extract, etc. just adds a level of game play that simply doesn't exist in any other game. Arma 3 can be played just about any way you want to play it.

    My father was in the Vietnamese communist army, but he was too young to fight in the Vietnam war. He was a Laotian that happened to be living in Vietnam, and got into their special forces as a radio operator as part of a sapper team. My dad is fluent in Laotian, Vietnamese and French and that helped him a lot at the time. As a special unit, he told me they had freedom of choice to pick their own weapons and he chose the m1 carbine because of how heavy his radio was. He usually didn’t talk about his experience, but one night when he was drunk with his friends, he told me during the sino-Vietnamese war, they took heavy casualties. The outpost was in a remote mountainous area, and there was heavy rain. So they were unable to evacuate the bodies from their camp. He had to sleep near the dead bodies for a few days. He was wounded in the leg during a firefight and medically discharged. Of course he moved to the states back in the 80s. I guess that war messed him up and he hates communism.

    Arma is one of the few games that is consistently played (In the MilSIm Units at least) by Prior service veterans.
    It is in a way a game to play when you feel like being back in the Army for a few hours without re-enlisting for years.

    Yeah, the Vietnamese, especially Ho Chi Minh and his Generals were largely incredibly competent leaders. It's especially astounding when you consider that these leaders all learned their craft almost from scratch. They learned from text books and war diaries and humiliated the French first, and eventually the US as well. There was this pervasive belief in the US Armed Forces at the time, mostly among the top brass; that the US' Army could defeat any small nation through shear Economic Might alone. It makes sense to a degree, I mean that's what World War II taught Generals and Political Leaders in the West (Russia learned the blood price lesson).
    The issue of course is that at that point, the US Army had almost no real experience or frame of reference as a Nation fighting to defend their own borders. The closest the US got was the War of 1812, and perhaps technically the Civil War. The US was entering into a culturally very different nation. The terrain was not exactly suited to combined arms in the least, which significantly hindered the United State's capabilities. The situation facing the US Forces in Vietnam at the time was such that commanders felt they had little to no choice but to send Squads on Patrols into areas where NVA were suspected. Not to go in and clean them out, but to instead serve as bait to draw the NVA into the open. At that point the Patrol would call in artillery and / or air support to try and kill as many of the NVA as they could. In the long run this ruined morale, and ended up giving many soldiers a sense that their commanding officers considered them nothing more than Cannon Fodder. That's why you hear about Fragging happening so much during the Vietnam war.
    Nowadays, the top brass in the US Forces are a little bit wiser these days.
    - First we have the whole "Hearts and Minds" initiative. This, in part, includes actually educating soldiers about the culture they're about to get thrown into. The rest involves several programs and initiatives to provide food, medical care and other services to those affected by the war. Sure, this happened to an extent in Vietnam, but nowadays it's considered a far more integral part of any foreign Campaign.
    - Then there's generally knowing how to fight Insurgents far more effectively than previously. That's more or less what Vietnam was, at least in tactical style. Proper counter-insurgency tactics play a key role in modern conflicts, many of those lessons were learned in Vietnam.

    As I started living in laos and learned the history, it interests me to get the insight of veterens of both sides, met a reconaissance marine who was stationed in Laos, forgot the operation but he showed pictures of his downed helicopter when I visited him in the states. love these videos!

    Arma is a ton of fun when people take it juuust seriously enough. Some people go way too overboard with how serious they take the game and it can kill the fun, but keeping units organized is almost always a must. People that are super into role playing for this game tend to get mad at me when I'm intoxicated on a weekend and volunteer to be a squad leader or higher, though.

    3:47 Prior to modern times, Vietnam projected their military strength onto Cambodia and Laos (so much so that Cambodia was a vassal state fairly recently prior to the war), so it’s less that they “got something out of it” and more that they just didn’t want to piss them off

    my grandfather was usmc stationed in the An Hoa pronounced "An Wah" that village is actually in the game, sadly his combat base isnt in the game. but he was there as a machine gunner during the Tet Offensive. he said the same shit, you cant see the enemy most of the time (besides the tet when they ran 10ft up to him) he said you can smell them in the jungle, he also said the same thing, when you get ambushed you shit your pants, youre shaking, you lay down and just start shooting blindly, he says your not even looking, youre just shoving your face in the ground to get lower. they all smoked weed nobody gave a fuck. it was a free for all on what weapons you can take with you, hed take his m60, or a thompson, or 2 m2 carbines sawed off to be pistols. m79 grenade launchers, but he said most of the time the enemy was within the safety det range on the grenades so the 40mm would just go into the enemy, theyed run and blow up as soon as they got out of that range. for some reason im the only one he really told this shit too. he mostly just likes to talk about hookers and smoking weed when he was in vietnam tho. he also laughed about butt stocking little kids away because they would run up and steal shit out of your pockets, sometimes putting hand grenades in marines pockets. south koreans had a base near him outside the an hoa village, he said they were fucking brutal, they would waste civilians if one guy shot at them from the village, and the south koreans would cut off everyones head and put them on their chest which he took a lot of pictures off. and americans 100% put skulls on spikes outside their base, and dudes would have ear necklaces. vietnam seems like fucking hell on earth.

    • @nightlandz1291
      @nightlandz1291 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      he also said out of his base alone they would be 300 american KIA a month. when he first got there he was scared shitless for a couple months, wondering wtf he got himself into, he says after awhile you lose that fear and give 0 fucks to point where if you get shot at most people dont even care to take cover or go prone, they just laugh and shoot back while the new guys were eating dirt. then the last month when youre about to leave youre scared shitless again. only to come back home to fucking liberals calling you baby killers. and "White Room" by Eric Clapton was their jam

Truth is often stranger than fiction.

    "Sorry bout that" was pronounced by the guys as "Sin loy(rhymes with "boy")
    Weapon mods. One guy, I think in FOB2 had chopped an M-79 into a pistol. Fired it once and broke his wrist.
    Only trick I did on my weapon was to polish the selector switch so you could go from safe to fire or full auto, with no click as the detent dropped into its recesses. And as far as I knew, we could carry anything. I owned a shotgun, an AK 47, an M-16, a Browning High Power, and a S&W Stainless Chief. One funny about weaponry was when I first went to Vietnam, I had a Sears camp hatchet. They made me sign papers that I was bringing a "weapon" into Vietnam.
    re night time in the jungle. I was with a company and night fell. We had found there was an enemy position a few hundered yards away near or on a road. Some genius at baae ordered us to move quietly up and engage them. We had "radio trouble" right away and had to wait until daybreak to restore coms.
    The M-79 barrel could be cut shorter. The grenade just needs to get the right spin before it arms. But the range would be reduced.
    Those "Pots" were the "Plain of Jars."

    The only problem with this mod is something that developers can't do sht about, that is the fact that players will use headsets to communicate. In RL, low-tech warfare in jungles have a challenge of it's own, that is to communicate. Jungles are very muffed but, yet, "silence-ish" enough to let any fart bein heard (and smelled) a few hundred yards away. One of focuses in SIGS course is to teach how to sound like the jungle and don't sound like anything else. Until the late 90 or early 2000's, personal radios were like alien-tech in South America (probably in Vietnam too), but even nowadays our recruits have to learn the old ways, because in jungle environment you can't rely even in modern equipment... so, still aim with the irons, learn to aways have an eye in your comrades hands/faces and don't let the jungle eat you.
