Question?

In it's current state how well will it be able to do Vietnam scenarios with heli insertions with Inf at platoon scale, also throw in long range arty and call in airstrikes? Lest say something like the combat at Ia Dang valley (We were soldiers). Also things like medivacs..

I'm asking this as I know the land aspect will be enhanced over time and I was wondering if the game is capable of doing the above type scenario reasonably well in it's current state.

I think what you are describing is fairly close to what was recently demonstrated on the "Raid on Kismayo" AAR (here).

We don't yet have land units boarding aircraft but we are able to simulate this via events (helo arrives at point-X, infantry platoon teleports at X). Arty and air support are already in.

I think the toughest hurdle for a bonafide VN-land scenario right now is the absence of cover/LOS-blockage provided by the jungle. We have some ideas related to this but it's definitely a post-v1 development.

Cool..thanks mate. Once all this becomes possible in game I will be saving my pennies for it;)

I´ve been making a FAC control mission involving land units.
At the time I uploaded there was an issue with O-1 and O-2 planes hovering / standing still in the air, but probably it was solved since then.
