I'm not sure if this mod is even being worked on at this point. But I thought I'd offer a few suggestions after playing the mod for a while (though not all the way through so I could have missed something). Mainly with regard to the weapons available for the time period. I really like that the french weapons were included as they were used quite a bit during the time period, though the fact that the MAS 49/56 is missing, this was the primary weapon of the french colonial forces there at the time and should be present in fairly large numbers, I find its absence puzzling. It should have similar stats to the garand use the 7.5 french ammo like the FR1 rifle and it uses a 10 round mag. It also existed as the primary sniper rifle for french forces at the time when a scope was attached to it, so perhaps have that as an option (as with the garand). The Dragunov is a bit out of place in vietnam, they were used IIRC but very rare. A better, much more common sniper rifle should be the mosin-nagant with a 3.5 power scope. The enfield L42 is a bit out of place as well as it only started to be used by the UK in 1970 (but its my favorite sniper rifle of the period so you can leave it in  ) Also, as has been mentioned before there really should be a 7.62x54 ammo type instead of every commie weapon taking 7.62x39 (and with the nagant you'd have at least 2 weapons that used it). Also I'm not sure if the M21 sniper system is in the game or not as I haven't found any M14's, but they should be scopeable as that was one of the more standard sniping solutions for US forces at the time.

My bad, finally found a Mas and nagant last night. I never doubted that there was an M14 I just wanted to check if it could be sniperized as I haven't found one yet.

Harlikwin, the M14 is fairly common in the later stages of the game. If I remember correctly tho, a Militia somewhere in the Iron Triangle may drop one early on (if you put him away, that is). Otherwise you may have to wait to get to the weapons cache at An Loc fire base. There are some there in crates, but the probability of one appearing is only 65% or 75%. You can attach a bipod, scope, and GL. IMHO, the L1A1 is a much better weapon AP- and range-wise, if only in the game.
