PT boats.

[flyboy_fx]

Well... will we have some slow moving PT boats? Lets say a map minus the helicopters and we have only a set amount of PT boats?
That would be sweet! nva AMBUSHING a group cruising down the river...

[Sparkyninja]

But then imagine if the Viet Con team just set up RPGs along the shore line; it would be like Midnight sun or whatever its called in vanilla where the chinese team just sits and fires eryx missles at passing boats.

If the maps included other ways to insert, e.g. Land vehicles, then it could work but just the PT boats would create a situation where the opposing team an just camp at the shore and basically cause grief to the other team.

[SGT.JOKER]

I think itd be a good idea to have a large scale "Navy" map with PT boats and PBR's. The mekong delta was a very important place during the war. This would also make for a good "insurgency" type map where the VC have several caches deep inland and then move able caches in the form of sampans. It would need 1 or 2 slicks though (maybe not, a gunship pairor set of cobras would probly even it out) just to avoid what sparkyninja described

[bosco_]

Tad Sae has a nice river. Just saying.

[TheOldBreed]

yeah PBRs will probably just be a supp. asset to the map. like it would be an infantry orientated one, but there'd be a river, say flankin an edge of the map that it could patrol. then towards the end, it would sneak up river, someone in the new 'Captain Willard' kit would hop out and he'd go machete the commander.

but no seriously, PBRs are sick. i can't wait for this at all

[Polka]

PBR's squirting napalm all over the place, that I'd like.

[Cheditor]

Bosco is that a subtle hint to a certain map that might be in a certain vietnam mod?

tad sae is tiny though tbf...

difference is of course PR gameplay, no more shoot and always hit with AT weapons any more, the rpg gunner will need to expose himself for a few seconds before he has a chance of hitting something, especially when the PBR is far off
in that time a couple of patrol boats can use their superior firepower to supress the guy so that he can't aim steadily any more or even injure him

I don't think that would give too much balance problems, NVA or Vietcong will really need to make good use of cover and the americans can replicate real life by spraying the river beds relentlessly and constantly

ermmm...april's fool..

yeah lol

[Sgt.MADHat]

There should be a La Drang Valley map, like that in We were Soldiers. The US has a basecamp or defensive area to defend, while their only support comes in from hueys dropping supplys, troops etc. Once that area is over run game ends?

[Wakain]

don't know where but someone already suggested the EoD classic we were soldier once (...and young)
I believe the dev's replied they were still deciding whether they would use it or not

to everyone in general but no one in particular:
maybe we should post all these suggestions in the pr suggestion forum?

there was a Ia Drang Valley map in EOD. it was alright the few times i played it i suppose. i once found myself defending this area of ammo crates n such with AI bots against more AI bots. crazy shit it was.

Hi I'm the new guy (^^)

Besides the not instant AT you could lay the focus for the infantry away from the PT's if you get what I'm saying. To give an example with this picture (just ignore that you're looking at Germany):
http://www.knowledgerush.com/wiki_image/8/8e/Map_river_weser_kassel_to_bremerhaven.png
If this would be a PT map with infantry you could prevent AT's near the river by forcing infantry to go to CP's away from the river near for example Hannover or Paderborn.
But if you do that you could have a problem with the PT's having nothing to do besides shooting sampans. Not a real challenge if you have one really big gun in front and one really big gun on the back.
What I would like is a civilian party. This is probably difficult but if you have a non-joinable civilian party you could make the game more dynamic. If you have civilians in sampans you can't just shoot every sampans you see, you'll have to check if they are civilian or VC (ticket-penalty if you shoot civilians). That would also give the VC an ambush advantage. I know that it is probably not possible but still could it be done or could something like that be worked out?

That's exactly what I'd like to see in this mod. Sounds like alot of fun and unique gameplay.

so what your saying (a quick sum up sorry if im wronge) is that in REALITY the people defending would let the attacks get in on land before they faught to make it "fair"? im a war history guy and to be honest ive only heard of that happening one time. it was on an island assualt in the pacif during WWII. the navy bombarded the coast and the marines went in before the defneders recouperated.

[Wattershed]

Wait what? Is PRV not a April fools joke? Have I missed something?

[Stoic Sentinel]

That's right, the announcement of Project Reality: Vietnam on April 1 is real, and is currently being worked on by the Project Reality Team. The team successfully fooled the PR community into thinking it was a joke.

brown river navy! PBRs will need a set of water ski's down the side XD

[Safekeeper]

I'd love more naval action in PR. Looking forward to the u-boat in Forgotten Hope 2.

"Ermmm...", no it's not.
