Will Brown Water Navy actions be in the game?

[♀⛤WitchyWoman⛤♀]

Since the game also models Vietnam, I hope we will also see Brown Water Navy action with coastal patrol boats and PBR's attacking sampans and conduction spec ops. Would be really neat to see the sea wolf hueys and black pony OV-10s used for support. Maybe even the monitor landing craft as well. Would love too see missions or a campaign involving this as it was a very important aspect of the war and the Navy's role in Vietnam.

While it would be cool to see, I think it would be tough to put together, now needing troops too.

I think they've said it will be moddable, Sea Power, if so, maybe as a mod or DLC? I'd buy it or download it

Leaving out troops is fine but patrol boats and PBRs would be very easy to do an important to the war in the south along the Rung Sat,etc.

But without the troops from either side, there is no fight for the brown water navy. The north had no real naval assets, so they were chasing dismounted bad guys. Heck, I don't think they even had anything aside from weaponized sampans, which the PBRs alone would obliterate.

I love that era of fighting, but I just don't see the utility of it without hunting for NVA or VC in different areas. They were afterall, the main purpose of that campaign, plus ebbing the flow of weapons on the sampans.

I mean, sell it. It might get their attention.

there will be no ground troops or amphibious landings.

Thats sad that the devs have no interest as I feel it would sell,

You could easily just model small patrol boat ops on the coastlines, they were more important in vietnam than the destroyers, you can easily model them without having to model troops debarking from monitors to fight inland. I have seen pics in this game of modern patrol boats so it makes no sense to not have at least some swift boats.

Damn well I guess I can keep wishing we see a modern day remake of "Gunboat" some day. Even if it wasn't a sim and was like this game, it would be awesome.

BTW I play ed Fleet Command and Harpoon classic 97 for years and lot of board games so I am seasoned in this topic. I wish we had some naval games that focused on a more tactical aspect then the strategic or operational level we usually see.

Ahhhh, Gunboat! It was indeed fantastic for its time, but, also had troops if memory serves me correctly.

I would pay for a remake of Gun boat......Microprose? Coughing, coughing

The latest dev log has them blowing up PACT artillery, so some form of ground troops are in, if only as targets.

Hopefully the devs will be able to put amphibious vehicles into the game and we could witness amphibious landings by supporting them or destroying them. If they can't because of time or other things, that's fine too. I just want to play this game so bad.

I see sampans in the recent youtube video missions. Dev's, Please add PCF's and PBR's!
