Rising Storm 2 Vietnam: The ULTIMATE Tier List 

the 6:50 grenade suicide was a legitimate strategy in Rising Storm 1, the game ENCOURAGED you to do this by giving you extra points for a suicide kill and refunding your reinforcements ticket

I got the door gunner achivment by hopping in a downed Hueys door gun on top of resorts last point. It crashed at the perfect angle with gun aiming down towards VK spawn and there commander ambushed on forest edge got like 15 of the kills in those 30 seconds.

14:04 my favorite fun weapon is the grenade launcher, one time on 24/7 Beach resort map I chose to play as VC and I got a u.s. grenade launcher and one of the incoming Huey's was a full transport and as they was landing right in front of me I went bam bam with my fire stick and took the whole heli out! I got an achievement for it to it was my favorite moment is RS2 among seeing the napalm bomb literally falling on top of me, I was like ok they gonna go over me no problem right? Nope right on me and that VC cry when in fire made me get up from the session hahaha. More like a PTSD simulator.

I got 20 kills on napalm once and I saw all that from the Loach. One of my favorite moments in the game ever.

So as an only 500hrs rookie I just wanna say "Thank you" for those who still love these game,making custom map and mod,you making this incomplete game alive and even develop our own special "community culture", that's far more beyond a tactical game that published in about 5yrs ago. And special thanks to tantwo, Break the Vices and other RU-vidr about RS2: Vietnam, you're making some very amazing or useful video to attract many new blood into these immersive and realistic Vietnam War experience.

𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗠𝗘 1 ) - I would like to thank everyone who helped me with getting game play for this video, it really did ease the load 2 ) - Yes I know I missed some stuff but I made videos on a lot of those things in the past such as LMGs and Commander Abilities, also I lost my voice and can't speak and it'll probably be like this for another week. 3 ) - This is inspired by Martincitopants and I hope that I captured at least 10% of his quality

Lol I love the little effects and sounds you play when placing an item on the tier list

i played with you in PR and now i can't stop watching ur videos lol, you actually push out good production value for the amount of subs you got.

I'm a former marine and I have to say that while this game gets alot of guns right, lmg's are underpowered compared to real life and hmg's are WAY underpowered. This is mostly because machine guns are normally operated in crews in rea life where you would atleast have a loader and a spotter. In the game you're just a big walking target (except for on really long range maps).

Huge shoutout to Mr.Deds! Also glad you mentioned the Bayonet prep, I used to use that tactic as a VC on Hill and kill the commander while he's on the radio.

I'll mention that claymores also work rather well as improvised demolition charges, good for blowing up a VC tunnel without having to wait around for the timed prompt to demolish it. Just run up, set it up, run back and blow it. Faster and less likely to get you killed. Also, the lack of the rest of the call-ins is kinda disappointing, but eh.

I still don't understand how someone could rage over a video game. And I should know considering I play geometry dash and rs2

If you hold ctrl while on the .50 Browning HMG you can blind fire it

One way I like using the DSHK is to set it up inside a building so that you have narrow field of fire to the objective building but not elsewhere and then just keep spraying through the windows and walls to keep the enemies suppressed and hopefully get some kills as well. This way you don't need to worry about enemies shooting you from the side.

Very nice to see another RS2 video again! Looking forward for another livestream

Love your videos keep up the great work

Came home from a long day at school to a tantwo video, god is good

Havent seen one of your vids in a while but im glad you havent stopped because im still passionate about this game and i play a lot on that mega server with the 3 different slots on the server list lol

A SEA player here and I hope you read this. I'm level 84 rn and hadn't play the game in a while. But after you mentioned about shooting down a spook with RPG. I immediately tried it and I did it (after many trials) 😂

My favourite thing to do was because I could hear the commander in-game through enemy VOIP, I don't know if that got patched eventually or anything like that but I noticed at some point it stopped working so I relied on in-game dialogue. Mainly worked for VC. I'd make a solo squad, go around the map to the enemy commander's radio set and hide literally beneath them, behind the desk or maybe just near enough so I can hear them. Commander:"Bird dog, this is-" Me, spamming team chat:"They're calling in recon." Commander:"Burn them for me will-" Me, spamming team chat: "They're calling in napalm." I remember I kept doing this to one particular commander and despite his best efforts he wasn't getting any kills despite getting perfect marks. He said in-game, "I don't get how they're managing to not kill anyone." Did this so many times and it was so fun.

“You can just get one shotted by it, there’s very little you can do to counter it other than fire first and hope that he didn’t fire at all” Your explanation of shotguns perfectly sums up my experience as a noob getting killed by literally every weapon in the game

Good vid mate, hilarious! :)

WOW, your editing is better than ever!

Damn that's impressive to see a HUGE tier list Awesome video Tantwo :]

Loved sitting in the bushes on Cu Chi with the Hunting Shotgun config on the Izh sniping people from 150+ meters away.

Very nice video mate🔥 my S tier in this game is blasting music into heli via Soundpad and vibing with passangers. I play with SUPREME PATRIARCH nickname if you was one of the passngers in my countless heli piloting, i love you

I personally have hundreds of hours in the game and find it to be a comfort game of sorts. It’s so god damn fun, the community is insane and the matches are intense

Really nice work, I’m detecting hints of Martincitopants. Well done, you’re easily the best rs2 RU-vidr

Amazing vid tantwo

Mad lad, loving the content keep it up

It’s Weird I just recently discovered your channel and it caused me to relapse and start playing a bunch of rising storm two again.. this video like most of your videos has a lot of humor in it but I was kinda hoping for an in-depth tier list of all weapons. Either way I liked, keep up the good work.

The only thing I can think about the mortars is they give you an opportunity to clear the cap with your guys on it. I know they were an option in RO2, but they were an option alongside artillery. Also, I never thought I would hear the japanese theme from Il2 Sturmovik 1946 on here.

Aww man I need this tier list validate my existence. Much appreciate it.

Banthony asks for ammo so he’s less likely to be team killed

This really is an unique game in how it takes war simulation aspects and makes it comfortable even for the most casual players. Some if not most of my favourite memories behind the computer from the last year or two have been while screwing around through late nights with my friends. No other game works like this one for me.

There are some modded maps that let certain classes place a 50cal and sandbags that anyone can use and you can place it anywhere it fits. Really cool and makes for some crazy strategic placements.

Fun fact. With the mas grenades, if you aim and turn the range all the way up. When hip firing the nades come out at mac 3. Meaning you can assault positions way easier.

Fantastic video dude.

Now this is high quality content

Flamethrower is ok overall, but S tier on some maps like Hue City. There are just so many ways to kill people behind corners and over walls that you can singlehandedly hold and clear most of the obj on that map.

At some point during the vietnam war or afterwards, the US started to change the M60s for M134 Vulcans considering the M60s were rather shit at being door gunners whilst the M134 can shred everything

my love for the DShK in this game is unmatched. Watching a pilot that has put in hundreds of hours of training to be an untouchable god on the battlefield rage and swap teams just to kill me is the best feeling I have every felt. Hill 937 is a no fly zone >:)

Some of the most fun I've had in this game is going defense as North Vietnam on Hill 937, getting the HMG from D or E objective, placing it in a very good spot and just spraying the incoming Cobras and Loaches, makes it more fun when a team mate does the same right next to you.

Probably my proudest moment in RS2 was smacking a Helo out of the sky accidentally with the rifle grenade, dude flew over me right as I was lobbing them at the point.

I think the idea is that claymores can be deployed from ambush without giving your position away like rifle/MG fire would

2:37 😂

The invisible thing isn't a cheat, it's a glitch. It's happened to me before. You aren't exactly invisible, your body is basically anchored in a spot of the map where you had a prone glitch. Your consciousness can travel around and get kills from all over...originating from your body. I got a 30mm melee and shotgun kill because of it.

bruh i remember playing the beta of RS2, and the double barrel was nutty, was like a sniper with buckshot, still my go to gun on VC side

Love the bit of pumped up kicks for whitey mcwigga

I've always used the claymore defensively when loosing a point, ill leave em behind but try to stay with in radius, wait like 10 secs or 20 then boom, usually I get a kill if I leave em on a recently lost objective

as for dshka, here's following commands that helps you improve at aiming: Toggledebugweapon which will allow you to see the path of your bullets and the points of impact. Allammo for infinite ammo. Spooky's distance to dshka or its height is DIFFERENT in every map, so you have remember aim's sweet spot for dshka.

As a 1300 hour veteran with 1000 mattock kills (check the subreddit), all of this is true.

Here's an idea for huey doorgunner achievement . Land and use it as a static mg , if you die you can respawn in it

fantastic tier of one of my fav games :)

goated game goated video sad there isn't more playing in Australia :(

This was a nice surprise.

great video

Just bought this game after 300+ hours of red orchestra 2 lots of nice information in here

Using MW2 music duirng the grenade launcher review was a nice touch.

I once put a claymore in the tunnels of that map that is big and has plenty points, and as i was waiting for a poor soul, i got bored, and just blowed it and i killed like 6 people because, one was defusing the claymore while the others waited.

I think stock lowered with the grease gun is better also on the xm1 especially with CQB in point but ive been able to hit 100m with the stock down idk just glad there's ppl talking about there best way of using it

The Claymore is viable, but situational. I love it on Georgina. It’ll kill anybody standing up in front of you for like 30 metres, through foliage. Just use it to clear out dense jungle. You can also place it above your head without exposing yourself. At C point on Georgina you just crouch inside the house and place it on the windowsill to blast away anyone in the jungle. That and if you have time to set up before an attack just place it in a bush pointed toward choke points or cover that you know the enemy will use, then just blow it when they get there, you don’t have to watch it 24/7

I remember playing flamethrower one day, I was the only one caping the point in a building and the ennemy commander triggered a ambush (it Spawn all the deads player around the commander anywhere on the map) They enterred but they was forced to use a corridor to get to me bc of where the ennemy commander respawned them... I shot first and killed easily more than 8 guys. People on my team praised me for defending the point "D-9341 saved the day" But what I remember very well, is theyr scream. To anybody who used the flamethrower, you know the ennemy have a particular scream when killed by fire. AND IT STACKED ! Reaping my ears and left me with the sensation to relly have commited a war crime. Since, I never stoped using the flamethrower. It became my n°1 weapon with more than 1500 kills

Damn, gotta try some of these strats out. I've had about zero fun playing this game so far

I don't know if this is still a thing (or if it really was a thing, I could just be tripping) but in servers where there are 2 rounds if you change your role while the guy says "swapping sides" you get to see the role select screen just a little bit faster than everyone else. That's how I was always able to get attack helicopter and sniper despite having bad internet and a crappy PC.

also, when i was using M79 grenade launcher, i was spotting the enemies first so it would tell me the distance and make it easier to aim

4:55 Best music every made, good ole coral sea

Very well made video, I can see you got inspiration from Martincitopants and youve executed it great. Truly a very underrated shooter also, wish the Devs gave it more development and promotion is perfect mix between Realism and Arcade I find

WAIT A FUCKING SECOND. Ive played so many games against you and swore so many fucking times at you and didnt know this was you. Subscribed out of hatred

You can use claymores as area denial at a cap point you know the way they are intended to be used.

The 3rd one had me laughing so hard. That's great lol.

Bruh smokes are soo underrated if you’re attacking If you’re defending smokes are useless

10:50 six days ago, I started to listen to the song howling and now it's in a video from six days ago :o was going on bro

The other day I saw a WP barrage round hit a phantom as it flew over, it did not die

idk why i find it so funny i recognise so many names in the gameplay

The Iron sight mosin is the best gun in game followed closely by the double barrel shotgun.

6:28 as an Egyptian i thank you for using one of our most famous patriotic songs i hope you have a good day mate!

liked and subbed for the il2 japanese theme

2:26 Those deployable guns are only useful in something like a kill corridor.

I love this game, its totally stands out from other. Its bummer voicechat doesn't work anymore.

The personal callout to heifercakes got me lmao. Shoutout to all you LMC gaming bois.

I hear that tarkov music! Can't forget it after 2k hours ^^

I need some rising storm back in my life.

This game stopped running on windows7 around mid 2021...I sure do miss playing it..

I did shoot down spoky with DSHK, it fun when cmdr confusing about what happen

If they had added the browning gun characteristics to the door mounted M60’s I think that’d be a better solution.

4:36 Oh lord, that lovely japanese IL-2 1946 music

S+ tier - Mosin Nagant. My favourite weapon in Game and reason I always play North vietnam

The fact that RPG has 0 arming distance, while grenade launcher for GI has....The amount of times I and my squad got shotguned point blank by it! Oh Boi!

I remember picking up an rpg off the floor shooting it at the obj and killing an enemy with the back blast and the rocket

4:32 Holy shit dude I haven't heard that theme in years...

SMG at C-tier is CRIMINAL! It's sooo good at ranges if you know what you're doing and I've pulled 150m shots with the PpsH-41 before consistently enough that I had a whole squad of enemies coming just to find me and kill me over and over again. SMG should be B or A tier for how incredibly broken they are at close range while also giving you medium range capability and more adaptability than assault rifles do.

I have like 500 hours in rs2v and still love it.

this remids me of martincitopants Edit: welp, i didnt have read your comment before writting mine

6:00 you can just use a scroll buttton on your mouse and then you can use sight on mg

so does anyone even know that turning your collector all the way down when your tail rotor is gone You can still control the helicopter as long you dont raise the collector and properly get back to base to repair or emergency land without teammates blaming you for their deaths?

7:56 yea man, this is the only game that has made me so mad I broke a key board over my knee... I learned self control after forking 50 bucks for a new one but damn, can relate. lmao

oh yeah, that reminds me, you killed me a few times in RS2V Tantwo

I play pointman with the Thompson as much as possible, but the M79 still remains my weapon with the most kills. Go figure.

damn, i always twisted the brightness in the settings on night maps, didn’t think that it was possible through the console
