@@airpods3198 I disagree. First person shooters on a single monitor(even a 35" like mine) feel completely confining compared to real life. Like you are looking through a pair of goggles. That is MUCH more immersion breaking than being able to see your own person. And it is MUCH more realistic to have a large, tall, wide view of the situation - like I would in real life with peripheral vision. So, I play Arma in 3rd person because it gives me REALISTIC big picture situational awareness, instead of limiting my SA to about 1/3 that of real life.

vet: are we going to take the prisoner in for a beer

My grandfather served in vietnam, and is still alive today, sadly he has very bad memory problems. What he does talk of it, in the rare moments when he recognises us and what not, he often talks about dropping out of the heli, immediately taking fire, and the recollection of stepping over a hundred bodies of fallen brothers. The saddest part being that he was the only one of his squad to make it out. He's a very nice man :) im glad he made it back

With a good squad, I can see this DLC being real sweet!

the one time someone is hearing the enemy more then drewski is when he's playing with Don LOL

As a helicopter pilot, watching everyone exit that UH-34 at 2:25 wierds me out. It landed in a big bomb crater and everyone climbing up that crater would need to worry about not getting hit by those rotor blades. That's a big concern when landing on slopes in a heli. On a side note there is a big radial engine in the front of the helicopter similar to the ones used on the old WW2 bombers. They got the sound right as it flew away. It's a beautiful thing. I'm just glad it's not the same sound as the Huey like they tend to use in all sound effects in every movie in US history that has a helicopter in it...it seems.

Finally! Been waiting for this! Love ya Drewski

I love how drew was the only one to exit the helicopter appropriately 😅

Been waiting for this

It's about time somebody put out an awesome Vietnam game

2:30 That was an interesting choice of landing zones. Any one of those dudes getting out of the helicopter could potentially lose their heads to the choppers blades trying to climb out of that crater and no one said a thing about it. lmao I love video games.
