Das Team der Battlegroup42 Mod hat angekündigt das sie vor dem Release ihrer v1.0 für Battlefield 1942 bzw noch vor der Konventierung auf die Battlefield Vietnam Engine eine weitere Mod veröffentlichen werden. Battlegroup Vietnam nennt sich diese neue und eigenständige Mod.

Zitat: Before the main Battlegroup42 WW2 mod is released on BF1942 and then converted to BFV we will be releasing our Vietnam specific mod, BG-Vietnam. Although it will be based around Vietnam vehicles and maps it will contain the usual Battlegroup trademarks:

1) APCs that repair vehicles 2) Artillery spotting light tanks 3) Flamethrowers 4) Improved vehicle models 5) Vehicle effects (e.g. exhaust smoke, rotating sprocket and idler wheels, etc.) 6) Enhanced teamwork 7) Unparalleled gameplay

First off is the M67 Patton Flamer, a flamethrower version of the M48 Patton and used by the Marines in Vietnam.

The mod will feature a large number of WW2 Allied vehicles that also saw service in early Vietnam battles, either with the French (through lend-lease) or supplied direct to South Vietnam. The example shown here is the M24 Chaffee, along with a later M42Duster AA vehicle. Similarly, the North Vietnamese used the WW2 era T-34-85 for many years.

Finally we show the most widely used US vehicle of the war, the ACAV - this particular example mounting a mini-gun in place of the usual 50cal.
