NFL vs Pavn in upcoming updates

[zombiecrc]

So.. Tripwire posted this thread some days ago I haven't see any thread discussing it.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/418460/discussions/3/1697174779851683567/

What interested me the most in this Q&A is that Tripwire will make the NFL and Pavn unique.

We should be especting new WW2 weapons for NFL and more updated weapons for Pavn.

NLF for instance may have their selection of AKs greatly reduced in favour of WW2 rifles and SMGs.

This means we might even lose the AKs for NFL rifleman.

The biggest change to gameplay coming next is to split out some of the weapons and make the PAVN and NLF more unique and interesting in their own way.

Please discuss and please keep the thread family friendly and in topic.

I have a feeling the loss of the AK will leave a lot of players upset.

Remenber those South Vietnam OP North Vietnam underpowered threads?
We will see more of them.
But I like the idea. I think NFL will be similar to ARVN having WW2 weapons but not enough to make you feel underpowered.

Rifleman will probably keep the SKS, Mosin and maybe Mas 36.
AK would end up only on specialized classes.

Machine gunner will probably lose the RPD and keep only the DP 28. Maybe a MG 42 or similar belt feed MG to compensate.

What would happen to SMGs?

[ReV0LT]

MAT-49s and PPSh will stay on NLF, but I think PPSh will be gone from NVA.

Also, I hope they don't truly consider GOM's approach and eliminate AA from the NLF.

The only thing that makes people grits their teeth more than no AKs.

The M1 carbine might play a big role since is ww2 and often used by north Vietnam forces.

I just hope the game won't turn out to be like the first Rising Storm, heavily unbalanced.

[Martello Mastroianni]

i think this is a very good idea to differenciate them more.

I agree with the idea that NVA and FNL (Front National de Libération) should have weapons more distinct for different time periods. FNL should represent early era, 1954-68, and NVA should represent late era, 1968-75. During the early era, FNL used surplus weaponry from WWII, German, to a greater deal, also including French, Chinese and Soviet weaponry. While the NVA taking over the war effort after the Tet offensive when FNL:s power to some degree had been used up. German weapons for FNL should include Kar 98k, Walther P38, Mg-34, Mp-40 and the Stg 44. Late war era weapons for the NVA should include the Skorpion smg, the Vz. 58 assault rifle and the RPK lmg.

NVA used the PPSh extensively.

I hope we don't see too many WW2 weapons, as you can play them in tons of other games. Some would be fine though.

I thought I might mention it, but it's the National Liberation Front (NLF) not National Football League (NFL). Aside from that, nothing they've said is set in stone yet.

[ImperialAdmiral]

I really hope they will add PM-63 RAK
