WORST of all the "MoW" series

There are only 6 vehicles! The "M113", "YW-531", "M24 Chaffee", "M48 Patton", "T-34/85" and "T-54". Not even 10% of what the WW2 "MoW" titles had! There's no M114's, M3 Halftracks, M50's, M60 Pattons, M47 Pattons, M46 Super Pershings, M26 Pershings, M551 Sheridans (because they could NOT be arsed adding new code to handle ATGM's), M4A3E8 Shermans, M901 TOW Vehicles, T-55's, T-10M's, IS-2's, IS-3's, BTR-40's, BTR-50's, BTR-60's, SU-100's, SU-85's, PT-76's, ASU-57's. There's only ONE artillery piece, the US M114 of WW2 vintage. None of the 1000's of pieces of Russian artillery used by Vietnam. NO self propelled artillery vehicles. No AT-Guns, fixed or self-propelled, including none of the high-powered, high penetration "recoilless rifles" that were very common in Vietnam, types such as the B-10, B-11, M40 etc. No ATGM's, vehicle or manpack whatsoever. The only modern AT included are the M72 LAW and RPG-7, which are still pretty much same as the WW2 title's Bazooka's and Panzerschrecks - just with higher penetration stats. The only real new thing they've added is helicopters, just TWO, the Mi-4 and the UH-1..... no AH-1 Cobra! As for aircraft, only the old WW2 IL-2 Sturmovik appears..... not even the post-WW2 IL-10 version!!!!! No MiG-15's, 17's, 19's or 21's, no jets at all for the Vietnamese! The US only has the F-4 Phantom, AND THE RETARDS COULDN'T EVEN GET THAT RIGHT..... LABELLING IT "F-14"!!!!! The title sequence video shows an A-1 Skyraider in action..... THAT ISN'T EVEN IN THE GAME NEITHER!!!!! Ok, you may be saying, well Vietnam was mostly an infantry war. Well yes, but even in this, "MoW : V" is only HALF as varied as the WW2 MoW titles, with only half as many infantry weapons and items included. On top of this the difficulty levels are STUPID, and it is bug-riddled / crashes constantly like "Red Tide" and "Condemned Heroes"! WORST OF ALL THE "MEN OF WAR" GAMES BY FAR!!!!! SPECIAL ADDITION? IT ADDS NOTHING!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!

Another disappointment

I think the creators either replace a few people or think about a couple of things right away (I add them, they won't happen because we are talking about game developers). Let's start with the positives because it is less. The targeting system has improved somewhat, the maps give the Vietnamese atmosphere well, and the units look very good. I liked the Russian-Vietkong campaign, although there were problems on the first course, but later, it was completely acceptable. Especially the second and third maps were great, give me back the old Soldiers mood. I want to write here that the music of the game is simply fantastic, especially the combat music is amazingly good. Unfortunately, that was the positive, the negatives. Serious, a lot of problems. An RPG only blow up a helicopter? We are talking about one of the strongest rocket launches of that age. Still, no vehicle is destroyed, just damaged. When it comes to helicopters, they are very buggy. The main problem, however, is that the American campaign and the bonuses are not at all entertaining, annoying and ridiculous like the Allied campaigns in the Assault Squad. The first map is to go here and then there, oh, this was missed, oops another task, it's ridiculous. And the first bonus map is completely pathetic because, as I wrote, the rocket launcher does not destroy anything except the helicopter. It starts in the right direction, but we are the same. I don't think we should finally deal with boring formations and reality chanting, but to return to the well -functioning things. I'm sorry, who liked the game I wish all of you more fun, but that wasn't what I wanted. So I won't be good -hearted, this game gets what it deserve.

SP missions

This game is not like the other men of war games, it almost exclusively features a 5 to 6 man squad that you keep basically the entire campaign. However I loved that fact because it gave me the opportunity to kit out my guys and really pay attention to their inventory, most of the time on large scale you don't bother with any of that unless you have to.
