Vietnam War

Vietnam War is a large open-world game set during the Vietnam War. You lead U.S. or Vietcong / N.V.A. troops across a changing battlefield, where other units move and fight independently. There is no story or main mission progression; missions of different types are provided according to the situation in each area.

Command and combat

You can order your squad to follow, stay, attack or change formation. Radios let you request airstrikes, artillery support, reinforcements and supplies. Build perimeter defenses, use tanks and artillery, and draw on a vast arsenal of weapons. You can fly jets and gunships or operate their door guns.

The battlefield

The map covers more than 1000 km² across North and South Vietnam and large parts of Laos and Cambodia. It contains hundreds of manually built bases and villages. Patrol the Mekong delta and river valleys, search for enemies in dense jungles, defend hilltop fire bases and protect loyal villages from infiltration—or teach them the price of betrayal. You can bomb the Ho Chi Minh Trail or lead special forces across the border into Laos and Cambodia to disrupt enemy supplies.

The jungle holds booby traps, tigers, snakes and other critters, as well as tunnels and hidden fortifications. You can be captured and become a P.O.W. You can also eat, drink and smoke to calm your nerves, or take pills to feel energized.
