Favourite Vietnam Class

[juneau]

Just wondering what classes and weapons people are prefering in Vietnam? Have you changed class preference since BC2 Vanilla?

I'm sticking with my Assault class for the moment. Switching between the M16 and M14.

I like the PPSH and the M16.

Medic with M60... Not so much of a switch since I primarily played medic or assault in vanilla

[Jed_Clampet]

I switch around depending on the map. If there's armour, mostly Engineer. I like the M60 with the Medic...you can reach out and touch with it.

I like assault with AK47 best so far. On defense around tank whores I'll do engi with PPSH.

[{CLR} Cobalt]

Eng. number 1. I'll run all the way across the map to engage tanks. I dont know what it is but I really get a thrill blowin them things up. It's really satisfying to me. I might die 2-3 times before I get em. Dont matter to me none.

After that medic or assault. Depending on the map and what the squad needs.

Funny thing is, in this game you dont see many folks using the RPG on infantry too much. I guess cause its a little slower propulsion on the ordnance itself. And the snipers really havent been all that bad. They are around but no where near as bad as BC2 was.

And it is easy to avoid or get behind the snipers.

OK, after last night i think i might be switching to engy. I usualy never play engy due to the poor primary. But the PPSH rocks!

It's not a class, but chopper gunner is my fav so far! Had a decent pilot last night and it was murder from the sky. No sights on those guns but following the splash and aiming for tracers (and for folks running for cover) was like second nature in no time.

I always have a hard time identifying targets. Plus, I usually get a crappy chopper driver.

I used to be a great chopper pilot in BF2, but when i tried in BC2 i kept on crashing. The choppers handle really badly imo. Not sure if they handle the same in Vietnam.

I like the m16 and the m40 the best.

You and me both my man. My favorite thing to do in vanilla is to run up with C4 and blow myself and the tank up to make sure I don't get killed before detonating.

I haven't got Vietnam yet (hope to get it after New Years), but I always had trouble aiming the chopper guns in vanilla without the crosshair. Is it any easier in Vietnam?

It seems pretty much the same. The difference I'm seeing or guessing at is that the gun has a lower rate of fire but perhaps does more damage. Aiming is the same: instinctual/visual. Other difference is that without tracer darts, guided rockets, and with fewer mounted 50 cals, a good pilot can keep it going for a bit longer.
