History legends is the history person we need he will go down in history I am sure

There's a huge difference between the Vietcong and NVA. The NVA was the regular army, and by 1968, they were getting modern equipment from China and Russia. The Vietcong, the origin of the nickname "Charlie", were a guerilla force mostly made up of South Vietnamese civilians. The NVA fought the coalition forces in open combat, with traditional weapons and tactics. The Vietcong were the ones that gave the war its horrific reputation. They fought with traps, with deception, sabotage, and betrayal

I'm really big into military aviation and the fact that the Hueys got messed up really annoys me during the Vietnam War Hueys only had 2 main rotor blades and 2 tail rotor blades not 4 like they show here. The nose is also extended too far out and the exhaust pipe should be one big tube not 2 small boxes.

i'm surprised you didn't acknowledge they were using the wrong huey helicopter model, those looked post war with the twin engine looking load out instead of the single engine plus if you played the mission from the beginning and looked behind you, you would notice a modern looking SAW MG leaning against crates

Funny thing is most Huey crews manned M60 Machine guns and the variant of helicopter they have in the game is false. That’s a modern marine Huey.

The one game that I can think of that did the magazine capacity/replenish right was SOCOM US Navy SEALs back on the ps2. After reloading a number of times you would load a magazine at half capacity or near empty.

He has trully put the thrust on youtube im loving it

I would love to see more Call of duty missions!

Love how adler said reading playboy would make you go blind, this is a reference to the fact that the era still had conservative evangelicals who taught this ideals to kids during the 50s and partially the 60s

I was surprised to learn that Camp Haskins and Firebase Ripcord are actually real places, Treyarch clearly put more effort into this game than Vanguard

Honestly I would rather play the scenario you created at the end then the one in the game itself would be awesome to see you create more realistic scenarios like you did at the end.

LOL, when you talked about "Charlie" I just couldn't not think about Apocalypse Now, when Robert Duvall's character goes "CHARLIE DON'T SURF!"

Just discovered your content, and I enjoy it, thank you. Also, in the book Hunters and Shooters: An Oral History of the US Navy SEALS in Vietnam, one of the contributors talked about doing "snatch and grab" operations where they would drop from a helicopter onto, and through, the roofs of huts to grab prisoners.

UH-1 Helicopters during the Vietnam War were never meant to be used as an offensive vehicle as it is shown in this game. The main purpose of these aircraft were to move troops into areas where fixed-wing aircraft could not. It wasn't practical to drop paratroopers due to the high risk of "hung jumpers" which are paratroopers that had gotten stuck in trees in the thick jungle environment of Vietnam.

One big problem I see, the Huey's or 4 bladed, back then the Huey's we're 2 bladed, on main and rear rotors.

The Hueys are actually twin Hueys which we’re not produced till mid 1969 a year after the tet offensive. I really hate call of duty for inaccuracies.

In my opinion this mission was pretty good despite all the historical inaccuracies also the Vietnam War should be represented more in video games.

Another one you didnt points out, the kind of architecture of this village has is the old type of brick houses you would find in old city like Hue and Hoi An, not in middle of the jungle.

As always, brilliant job man

Spoiler warning! If i remember correctly, in the game story, this mission is just implanted memory from someone else? I feel like they can get away with some inaccuracies here since it would make sense story wise

I think that one of the best Vietnam war games which actually feels like it's in Vietnam and not like that exact scenario could be anywhere (for example if you just replaced the signs and soldiers in the mission you reacted to, it could be pretty much any town in tropical forest, there is nothing in particular which actually makes it feel like Vietnam war. No crawling through VC tunnels, no going knees deep in mud, nothing like that) would be Vietcong. Although you may find lots of racism against VC in the game, it is pretty realistic. I mean, the American soldiers who were going to Vietnam weren't exactly saints, and racism was much more common then than it is today. So yeah, it may offend people. And of course, being portrayed from American perspective, it is the typical South good North bad type of stuff, and unfortunately it doesn't really show Americans in bad light, but I doubt a mission where you burn down a village and then kill all of their inhabitants, making excuse because they were hiding VC or something like that would be a fun mission. But apart from that, the atmosphere is really good, even though the graphics are.. well, as good as they could be 2 decades back or whenever it came out. The guns handle spectacularly well for a game of that age, and the missions are really nice, especially the parts where you crawl through multiple story maze like bunkers which are full of traps, prepared to catch unsuspecting American. Even in the very first mission you can die in a matter of seconds, should you not be careful, thankfully, the game uses a squad system which works really well. There are many roles, but one of the most important one would be a scout. (I am not sure if it's called scout but I'd assume so, I'm not native) Basically, the guy which walks in front of you the whole time and warns you if there is any traps at all. I prefer to take the game slow and let him clear the way in front of me from traps, because most of the time, you won't see it. And it's not just tripwire traps which aren't as hard to see, but it's fake floor traps as well, however if you are really observant you can notice Vietcong is (as they did in real life) placing signs around, warning other VC that there is a trap there. The signs are usually well hidden and are just a couple branches or leaves put in specific way, but if you know what to look for, you can know there is a trap around you without even seeing it first.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the heuy only have two blades and it one engine, in the game it looks like a venom or updated heuy in my opinion

My man its a game the part where you said the wounded part please my guy its a game lol they will take 4,5 shots still they will be alive i know you want to make it more accurate but dam

Keep doing videos they are so good!

,,There's something I didn't expect IS the intense exposure to Stepen Wolf's Magic Carpet... It was even worse than the exposure to Fortunate Son.... Half of our men defected to the VC Just to avoid listening CCR.'' (Vet Memories) And, there's a helicopter base full of telephone poles and wires all over the Sky... Better fly a Magic Carpet than a fan. First thing first, they've Taken all this Shit down.

I tried looking up the history of the real operation on RU-vid, and it brings me to literal fracture jaw surgeries. It's crazy to think how close we were to nuking Nam as how close the Soviets were to nuking the US from Cuba.

The twin-engine variant of the UH-1 Huey, the UH-1N, was first flown in 1969. The UH-1s in this mission are all twin-engine models. Also, during the helicopter section about halfway through the level, the calibers of all the helo's weapons are wrong. The miniguns are 7.62mm M134s and the rockets are 70mm Hydras. Oh yeah, and there's also a Stoner 63 LMG in this mission. Not that important, I just appreciated the inclusion of a less well-known Vietnam War weapon.

Can you react and analyze full metal jacket please? I'd love to see your review.

After watching this video would love to see your thoughts on the game Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam

Keep up your fantastic work!!

According to Wikipedia the US lost a staggering number of 5607 helicopters alone. I'll spell that: Fifty six hundred and seven helicopters. Approaching like this in real life would mean an abrupt end of the mission.

I know this is an old video, but you should really analyze black ops 1(2010) campaign, not super accurate but has the vietam war feeling (in the vietnam war missions)

give a react to S.O.G Prairie Fire. A CDLC from Arma 3, the devs from it worked alongside with veterans from the MACV-SOG

North Carolina that scenario seems a lot more funner than what was actually things

I played CoD Mordern Warefare years ago and I feel like I played this mission back then already.

there was no excessive use of fortunate son

Looking back: he was so innocent! :)

please react to call of duty ww2 operation normandy d-day.

Do cod ww2

I feel like a story (game) that is written during a specific time period doesn't have to be historically accurate (entirely), UNLESS you write a segment that includes a true, real life event, it's quite exciting to see a little bit of creative twist written into a time period, because when you write characters during that certain setting, you may resort into designing your own events to create plots even if it doesn't exist. What I will say, is when creating that decision, it is important to remind yourself that when writing that specific segment, the equipment or music - settings and technology must relate to and remain accurate to that decade you're writing in, AND it's important to include real life circumstances/themes that relate, because you're; trying to portray that event, historical stories are okay to have fiction written into it as long as you state that the story isn't entirely accurate in terms of non fiction, historical-wise; and, that some parts may not of exist in history it's self, and is created purely for fictional use. Anyways, that's my opinion.

I'd love to play a Call of Duty from a Vietnamese point of view.. Ambushing US armor columns, taking down choppas, taking down F4s with AA... Would be fun, and Americans are actually the bad guys in this war.

An AKs-74u in 1968? not very likely

they could just make the Assault Helicopter doing fly by rocket shooting their job is to draw out enemy firing position instead of a standby Assault Helicopter is a easy target for VC to shoot down, also correct me if i'm wrong about this but the minigun on Huey, look way too modern for it time

Can you do videos about Roman empire

Mini guns on the huey’s just bother me, should be M60s

On the hueys there is only supposed to be 2 rotor blades not 4!

Great Video bro

Sure history legends criticized a lot of my favorite ww2 movies bit if its facts and its accurate there's nothing we can do about it, keep it up history legends I love your videos

Didnt have Huyes two rotor blades?

In context the entire mission is fake, Bell was never in the Vietnam war

Well, compared to vanguard it's surely a masterpiece

You might have saved lives by making this video. I legitimately wonder how many young men enlisted in the armed forces because they thought any opposition would be poorly armed and poorly trained video game mooks.

08:24 Only game I know that does that is Mafia Remake on classic dificult

I'm just sad they used the wrong hueys :(

Aw man there are just so many things wrong (historically) with CW. Wrong Huey's, ak-74u in 1968? Why not just an AKM-S? Plus the 74u isn't a real thing, it's AkS-74u, which indicates it has a skeletal stock. I'm just frustrated how badly they represented such an interesting time in history

These are def wrong era Huey's. These aren't the legendary Huey UH-1H's. This variant seems close to what the USMC is using today, which is the UH-1Y venom, a twin turbo engined, four blade modern model of what it used to be a huey.

COD black ops Cold War is one of my favourite call of duty games

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

If you cant see your bullets that means its gonna be a pain to reload maybe that feature cant work very well

Hurts didnt have that triple pane style it was a double

Love the vids keep up the good work. Your very intelligent

Are you sure your talking about the NVA Anti Air or the VC cause I’m curtain the VC didn’t have lots of them?

The Vietnam missions are pretty underwhelmed since your character isn’t even actually there. This whole game just felt like a rug pull.

Do you know you refer to Activation

Where did you get that sweater?

I honestly quite liked this mission But yeah it would have been amazing if they added more realism

The hueys in the mission have 4 main rotor blades In real life they have 2

You talk like the Vietcong was a Advanced military force they were poorly funded by they government they didn't always have the right weapon to battle they would battle the United states many times just with their rifles in grenades 🤨🤨🤨

I find it wired that it has firebase ripcord yet the battle took place in July 1970 (Correct me if I’m wrong)

Amazing!

Okay... I hate Call of Duty (beyond the OG Modern Warfare) as much as the next sensible guy, but you can't critique a couple of hits in-game like that... it's a game for a reason.

those are for sure not Vietnam era hueys

Those helicopters were never used during the Vietnam War they weren't even invented

I do t get people who grip about those who want historical authenticity. If someone made a game based on your life wouldn’t you have wanted it to be accurate?

Well those are the wrong helicopters for the era those are uh-1ys used by the usmc today. Back the they used the uh-1gs

Is that black nail polish on your right index finger?

Where are the subtitles?

There is realism mode you die in like 2 or 3 hits not 5 or 10

Spoiler alert, you can actually blame the innacuracies of Fracture Jaw to the fact that your character, Bell, wasn't actually there.

Is there something you like? I know all your stuff is bad but how about checking out something diffrent, like das Boot or the Downfall etc. ?

Vietnam war helicopters could carry up to 12 men inside

"The turning point in the war" There was no turning point. The PAVN and VC had the country on lock since the end of WWII. Great video as always though. Keep it up.

campaign was good overall...fun for sure...the vietnam mission is my favorite cause i got to gun down people, than i get to fly a helicopter and commit genocide on every village i see, suspecting vietcong...rest of campaign was fine, i knew beforehand of the betrayal so i went soviet ending twice, twice restricting myself to mostly AK weaponry as my personel challenge, it was very fun! i wonder if there will be a sequel where it follows up on the soviet ending, to a potential ww3 or something...since id LOVE that! also techincally this whole vietnam sequence...is fake..its a memory made bye adler to get bell under his controll, so techincally realism doesnt apply, its a fake memory, also take multiple hits? its a video game also, techincally more americans landed, i have seen other american troops run around, also this fake memory implies it isnt special forces, its army units sent to secure intel

Do you like Star Wars?

Call of duty ww2 omaha Beach please criticise it.

Minigun in 1960's ? is that historical accurate ?

Is it realistic, nah, is it fun, ja.

👌

The hueys are incredibly inaccurate

Are you German?

Vietcong 1 100x times better

So this is farb now.

M16 wouldnt be burst it would be automatic
