Vietnam Vehicle Options

[CptainCrunch]

So playing Vietnam its become aware to me that there are three vehicle options worth using and are used:

Armor
Warhead
Quick Reload

Smoke and Alt fire only work for the tanks. There is not a lot of reason to use smoke. Alt fire is OK for the tank. No reason to use optics as the maps are a bit small.

I find myself using Armor more than anything else as it seems to keep me going better.

Anyone else tried other things or is this it?

Alt fire is meh considering the range. No the three you mentionned are the best options in Vietnam. I personnaly take warhead most of the time.

What exactly is the range of the flame thrower on the tank. From my experience it doesn't seem much different than the hand held version.

Kinda dissapointing.

Vehicle Warhead... Using tanks or Huey to pick off infantry is crazy.

The range of flamethrower is about 15m.

Re: Vietnam Vehicle Options

i use quick reload to shoot down choppers and infantry fast but i might switch to warhead becasue it seems it take 2 or maybe 3 shots to kill a tank with that.

3 Shots on the front armor. 2 Shots from side or behind. Very effective, very deadly.

It seems to me that the blast radius of my AP round also increased when I kill infantry with splash damage.

I use the extended sight range on tanks, moving in on a objective in BFBC2 is suicide most of the time unless your gunner is a clanmate on voip. For helis in Vietnam I always use the hardened warheads.

Smoke is useful. You can stay alive the longest usually if your lone wolfing it by popping smoke, retreating, and repairing.

Then: go shoot kids, get hit by RPGs/grenades/etc. pop smoke, repair... and after you've done this a bunch of times you've got half of their team trying to kill you and usually have acquired an engineer on your butt.
