Technically they didn't stop using horses for helocopters

There was an 80 odd year gap in which the 7th, 5th and 9th cavalry divisions didn't exist....

The 11th Air Assult test division was activated in 1965 (early) as these units....then shipped oot to vietnam

erm, thats not quite true the cav do have an "unbroken" lineage, the 1st Cavalry Division was first formed in 1921 at Fort Bliss, Texas. The cavalry regiments that formed it mostly dated back to the civil war, although some were older. Most of its early service was patrolling the Mexican border, the cav being the only units that could operate in that enviroment.  

In 1943 1st Cavalry Division was dismounted and processed for overseas movement to the Southwest Pacific as foot soldiers.

The division served in the pacific and then after the war in Korea and Japan, being rotated home in 1965, when they were merged with the 11th Air Assault and converted to the Army's first air mobile division for service in Vietnam.

Today the division is the US Army's largest division and it's only armored "contingency" force.

  Hey I was wondering if you all fixed were you couldn't get ammo if you used the Nam 1 troops. I loved the Nam 1 pack, the only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't get ammo.
An the new pack rocks! I really love the Hueys!!!

[Vyper]

Couldn't get ammo? What do youmean? That you couldn't pick it up from dead soldiers?

Oh yea, i just noticed guys....The screens of your UH-1C and most of the pictures of the UH-1C's that were used there are a few differences. Firstly, the real ones have their skids much lower and they stick out farther. I'm not sure if this was plain weight but maybe you could do this as well?

Actually thats just one! Although i don't reckon the sharks paint scheme would be much good. It would limit the gunships to one company. Why have them as sharks? why no the Dolphins or any of the other hundreds of groups. I think its best just leaving them neautral.

Keep Up the Good Work SEB Team ;D

Too bad about the "short viets", was gonna ask for some "short" west Special Forces, many thousands fought, and died serving with SOG, PRU's etc.

As for the static B-52's , they were all based thousands of miles away in Guam, lol. OOPS They were also based in Okinawa and Thailand. AND in 1972, during the Linebacker Ops, the Occaisional  damaged BUFF would land in South Vietnam. My Bad I got this info from here http://www.306thbw.org/306thhistory/history_ArcLgt66.htm my favorite quote is about an ArcLight strike on an NVA/VC river crossing "On 1 October, six B-52s salvoed 108 bombs each, resulting in bomb trains of 780 feet and a direct hit on the ford." That's one 500lb bomb every 7 feet! (linear)
Talk about hell on earth......

I just read ALL 14 pages of this thread. Some good stuff, some...... :moon:

My FUTURE Vietnam wish list

AC 47 and or AC 130 Gunships
F-4 Phantoms, Napalm
Real command (and short timed, they existed)Detonated Claymores
Some Serious, Mountainous and Heavily Jungled Terrain. Triple Canopy Stuff
Small mines (toe poppers)
CH 53's

As for the "child" who made a derogatory comment about SEAL's vs LRRP's.....Back to your dollies little one. Don't ever try that one in a bar frequented by any combat vets

Looking forward to this packs release


Oh yeah, somebody made the comment that troops rode on the top of tracks cause it was too hot. Not exactly. They rode there because of MINES and RPG's. Armor was NOT a good place to be in the jungle. Cept for LOTS OF WATER!

Can you plz make the doors open, so the ammo can fly in the Huey ;D

[Vyper]

Oooooo nice, miniguns are always fun for all the family.

Where those rocket pods actually used in NAM, i'm not at all sure but all the pictures i have or can find of the UH-1C with rockets are either the Block set up (UH-1C ARA with grenade launcher) or tubes in a circular set up (see pic).  

Also, the Gunships weren't painted in the same colour as the slicks as a rule. THey were a lot darker (see pic as well). Again i'm not sure whether its just me not being able to find anything but there we go! Looks good.

Any pics of anything else, Weapons, infantry, any other helo's etc..?

This is getting better everyday

Ebud/Select This and the rest of you guys.  Is the Nam Pack 2.0 going to overwrite the original Nam Pack.  Item for Item.  So old mission made with the original will still work.

[T.S.C.Plage]

Yeah great stuff! That's what I wanted...seems like the "stressing" shows results. ;D

But please, there's no need to cut of the list of included helicopters! Maybe release them in a special pack so everybody can choose if he wants to load it down.
If you got both versions working please give us both and
an AH-1 and maybe a redone CH-47 not to forget the "normal"
UH-1.

Maybe:

Normal chopper pack: AH-1, UH-1 and CH-47

Gunship pack: UH-1B/C (ARAs, minigun/FFAR, grenadelauncher/FFAR, only FFAR...?)

You can do a Gunship from a specific unit (that shark idea...) and "fits all" versions.

I also think a version without doors would be nice (ARA closed - Gunship opened?).

Special thanks for the minigun version!!!
