Vietnam Specific OOBs

[thatguy96]

-- DISLAIMER: All versions of this mod contains highly altered or additional files that may or will cause interference with the master game files and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that this mod be installed and played ONLY in a separate copy of the game and NOT run from the master game. --

I have been messing around with various OOBs in order to create more accurate units and formations (no scenarios) for various players in South East Asia from about 1946-1975. I realize that Laurent has also been working on a seperate pack and I am in no way trying to steal his thunder (I'm sure his pack will probably be better than mine). I am just curious really to see what people think of what I've been working on.

Attached is the folder with the detail file about what units are new, what units were modified, and what formations were added or modified. I'll also post that here in this thread.

[thatguy96]

If anyone cares to respond, I'm curious as to whether or not anyone who's downloaded these OOBs has any feedback.

[Warhero]

Great job dude. Hmm I wonder whatever happened to Laurent and his Viet War Pack... It could be cool if your OOBs would have as many formations/equipment as Viet War Pack had!

[thatguy96]

Yeah, Laurent's pack was a total conversion for the game, and because of this included far more than what I have. I have personally thought recently about turning either Green or Red into Laos, and using the UN for "independant" mercenaries/CIA/Air America/etc.

As it stands now, I don't think I have near as much information as Laurent does, and really my OOB are just designed to fill in units from the period into existing OOBs for more accurate engagements. I was not initially looking to make the OOBs so comprehensive that you couldn't really play WinSPMBT for any other time period without switching back to the default OOBs.

I'm actually thinking about releasing another update to this, but I'm holding off to see if I can get some people to do new icons so I can include those too.

[Warhero]

Btw, do US have Ontos in your OOB? I didn't noticed it (at least yest)...

[thatguy96]

Ontos are in the default OOBs, I haven't changed them. They're units 042 and 044 in the USMC OOB.

[Warhero]

Ok. Thanks about tip.

[thatguy96]

Alright, new release, and I'm adding some notes at the bottom that people might want to read. Also, I've been in contact with some members of these boards trying to collect custom icons to hopefully add more of a visual flavor to all of this as well.

NOTES (In order of how they relate from top to bottom)

1: Cambodian Armored Commando in French OOB. While this may really belong in the Cambodian OOB, given the fact that the ad hoc unit was largely under French control until the end of the French period in Indochina led me to stick it into the French OOB. It may end up in the Cambodian OOB later.

2: Civil Air Transport in French OOB. This was essentially a predecessor to Air America, and is in the French OOB because of their participation in the last stages of the French period. If I get my act together and create a sort of CIA/Merc OOB, then it'll end up there.

3: Unit 817, O-1D Bird Dog, in the US Army OOB has the minimal load capacity for a ammo container, is modeled as an aircraft set up for supply drops, and if one wishes to remain realistic, should not be used for any other purpose.

4: New rivercraft have been added to the USMC OOB, the YRBM was created first and is therefore away from the rest of the new ones. This is a two part note. The YRBM and LST (MRF) (or Mobile Riverine Force) represent vessels that were used as mobile bases essentially. Both vessels had helipads. The arbitrary weight of the helicopters created to represent the Seawolves of HA(L)-3 have been dropped to allow them to "land" on these vessels. Of course this also allows them to be carried by any vehicle with a great enough capacity. Remember that this was only done for the benefit of these two vessels (well the YRBM is more of a barge).

5: Unit 935, O-1C Bird Dog, in the USMC OOB is the same deal as the O-1D in the US Army OOB mentioned in Note 3.

6: ARVN formation 117, "Panicked AS" is supposed to represent an Air Strike gone awry because of a fear of heavy AAA, something that was known to happen in the latter portions of the conflict.

7: ARVN formation 221 "Eagle Flight" represents US supported ARVN air mobile operations during the advisory period. Because of the inability to seperate it any further, the H-34 is also available as a helicopter. As a realism note, it should be mentioned that the H-34 was not used for such operations.

8: ARVN formation 222 "Farm Gate" represents air strikes carried out by USAF aircraft under Operation Farm Gate, which put the aircraft in VNAF colors though not under the control of the South Vietnamese Air Force. While this might belong better in the US Army OOB or in a seperate "USAF" OOB to be created, it seemed reasonable to put it in the ARVN one for the time being.

9: ARVN formation 223 "Kingbee" represents the operations of the 83rd SOG of the VNAF, which supported clandestine US operations in Laos and Cambodia. When the unit was reassigned as the 200-something-th Helicopter Squadron it switched over to using UH-1H helicopters, because this is after the introduction of UH-1Hs to the VNAF as a whole, as a realism note it should be mentioned that one can buy Kingbee UH-1Hs before this is historically correct.

10: Cambodian "M3 (6x4)"s are supposed to represent conversions of US M3 halftracks to 6-wheeled trucks, the concensus being that the resulting vehicle was only 6x4. I forgot, however, to change the speed, so as it stands now the only difference is in the movement type. The speed will be changed in the next release.

Of course feel free to ask other questions as well.

Great stuff thatguy. Very good detailed OOBs anyway. I suppose that Cambodia OOB is meant for US "allied" side, right? Sorry but I have bit "loss" of information about Cambodia's role in Vietnam war...
