[S&S] Project: Vietnam Factions Pack

Hello and thank you for checking this out!

NOTE
This is essentially the same as my other Project: Vietnam Factions pack, but new and improved now that Simtardeux released his AMAZING S&S mod. My other mod aimed to provide the Vietnam War experience whilst only utilizing mods that many people already have which left a lot to the imagination. This mod, however, is basically the opposite. This mod aims to provide an experience as close as possible to the Vietnam War, and more mod dependencies are needed to do that so we've basically gone all in with this one. I WILL BE MAKING A LIGHT VERSION.. Also note THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE OTHER VERSION.

Also, if you're going to give me a thumbs down, at least write something in the comments to tell me why please.


WHAT IS THIS?

This is a faction pack made using ALiVE Orbat creator to represent the factions of the Vietnam War. Currently there are 19 factions with more planned.


A NOTE ABOUT HISTORICAL ACCURACY


Please note that I did what I could to best represent the Vietnam War and the gear/weapons/vehicles used. However, you must understand that I was limited to what I had available. This means that there are many things lacking or not accurate in this pack (M240's on some Huey Gunships, Vietnamese speak Chinese etc). For the most part there is nothing I can really do about it unless I add more dependencies which I'm very hesitant to do. If you see something you think needs to be changed that is within my power, please tell me and give me your solution! With that said, if you want the most authentic experience download the amazing Unsung Mod.

KNOWN ISSUES

-DOES NOT WORK WITH DYNAMIC RECON OPS AT THE MOMENT. I'm investigating this.
-Sometimes the camo faces don't seem to work - I'm investigating this
-If combined with 7AC mod the M60 gunners get their hands all weird. My guess is it's a classname conflict which I may fix in the future by changing the M60 to the 3CB one.
-Let me know if you find anything else!
