It won't be anything like Desert Combat, as DC is so over the top tilted towards aircraft (and they are adding more) Vietnam was an infantry war, or air cav war.

I'm seriously wondering how they are going to make this even part way historic. The Viet Cong were anything but orthodox except for a few battles. IMO, converted to a videogame, the VC wouldn't give a damn about tickets, or capping flags.

If they are going to go for any kind of historical accuracy, they had better have Chinooks in it, and they must be able to be shot down with a spear. (it happened, believe me)

I just can't envision it being historically accurate, and fun at the same time.
