any reasons to pick PAVN over NLF?

[JolyJew СлаваУкраине]

In campaign the NVA gets picked a lot and I dony know why.
only unique things they have are the akm and rp46

And its very little considering they dont have mosin mas49 and rifle grenades mp40 fuogas traps and their artillery sucks.

It's fun playing as the different factions is the only reason I have. I'd like to play the ARVN/Australians more often as I feel there are enough games where one is Captain America with an M16.

It's a nice variety to have these options, but that's about it as far as what goes through my head when I have the chance to pick which army is played. I like playing the weapons that come my way, so usually I'll vote for the one I haven't played most recently.

thats actually a good and interesting thing, but in late-mid war NVA seems useless

Early ARVN is got also better weapons than early US my opinion

NLF arty is much better, also they get the MAS. PAVN only gets it with the scout class.

mixed barrage is way better than conventional arty.
it covers a much bigger area and is much deadlier,
also the white phospherus creates smoke which blocks the enemy's vision.

Mostly for variety. In Campaign mode, you can go the entire game without playing PAVN once, due to how specific the scenario needed to play them. Not sure if this applies to north as much as south, but weapon choice can make a difference too. For example, the riflemen on Australian and early ARVN forces only have battle rifles. Back when Epic cross play was new and most servers had majority new players, I played a few campaigns where picking those factions stopped us from getting steamrolled. I find most new players spray and miss with the M16, whereas they can more consistently get kills with battle rifles. Again, not sure if the same thing applies to PAVN, but it might on some smaller extent.
