New Additions

Maps

• Da Nang

The Da Nang Air Base (Also known by its French name of “Tourane”), was a major staging point for the American air power to quickly respond to threats coming from North of the DMZ with flights from both the US Air Force and Marine Corps. The base suffered many attacks from both the NLF and PAVN forces over the years

As a territories map, Da Nang will feature a defending Marine team attempting to hold off an NLF force as it works its way into the perimeter, aiming to capture the center of the base.

• Khe Sanh

Khe Sanh takes us along the DMZ to the border of Laos and the US Marine garrison stationed there. The battle for this base lasted over a month and drew in much of the South’s resources to help defend it at all costs, believing it was the prize the North sought to achieve before returning to the negotiation tables. Many now believe it was a diversion to take away attention and manpower from NLF build up further south in what would then become the Tet offensive.

With the Marines once again on the defense, the attackers of this territories map will be the PAVN.

• We have rebalanced VNTE-Demilitarized Zone and VNTE-Apace Snow, increasing the tickets across the board for attackers and defenders on both maps.

Weapons

• K50M

The K50M submachine gun was a product of taking a Chinese Type 50 (based on the PPSH-41), rechambering it for 7.62 and shortening the barrel length along with improving the sights. It could be produced in large numbers in simple workshops set up as needed to support equipping both the NLF and PAVN forces. PAVN Sappers will find this under their loadouts with Update 1.4.

With the release of 1.4 comes two new DLCs.

• Sgt. Joe’s Support Bundle
  
• Specialist Pack

Gameplay

• On VNTE-Saigon we have modified the spawn protection so that defenders cannot move too far up the objective

• Reacting to community feedback we have readjusted the amount of ammunition available to the Cobra gunner, reverting the AK1G Turret to the original 50 grenades. We have also reduced the distance at which an enemy is automatically spotted from the Cobra
  
• We have decreased the time that the Molotov Cocktail flame is on the ground. The main pool of fire has been reduced by 20 seconds and the additional fire spots have been reduced by ten seconds
