If That's Not Enough For You, We Have More!
DICE has been hard at work creating more content and adding features for future updates of Battlefield Vietnam. Coming up next in the Vietnam 1.1 update will be many new features for Battlefield Vietnam, including a voting GUI, enhancements to the 3D Map and more server options such as the Orbit cam and more.

To tease you a bit, today we are featuring two new air vehicles that will appear for the first time in "The Defense of Con Thien", DICE's first official free map for Battlefield Vietnam, also due in the 1.1 update.

Choppers
Up first is the OH-6 Loach, a Scout helicopter used by the US in the Vietnam conflict. Seen below hovering over a broken bridge, the Loach is quicker and more agile than any other helicopter included in BFV and carries both a pilot and an armed passenger. The pilot has access to a pair of chain guns which serve as the Loach's primary weapon and can place artillery strike markers (or cameras) with the secondary fire. Any friendly artilleryman can home in on these markers using the artillery piece's secondary fire.

To counter this new US helicopter, the NVA will have access to the KA-25 "Hormone" attack helicopter. Originally designed as a sub-hunter, the "Hormone" (seen below) was adapted later in the war as a ground attack chopper. In BFV it is equipped with chain guns (usable by the pilot), radar and heat-seeking missiles (usable by the "co-pilot"). Faster and more maneuverable than the MI-8 "Hinds", these should be a real treat to fly for any veteran pilot.

Keep watching this space for more information on the 1.1 update and "The Defense of Con Thien" as we move into Summer.

From EAComMike and the rest of the Batlefield team, enjoy the 1.01 Update and Rock n' Roll Private!

the_syco

Just playing it online. Damn sweet. The M60 is still with the grenade launcher, but its better than an M60 with the rocket... esp if your in a NVA chopper!!!

KdjaCL

Restart program.

Instant Karma

ooooohh these new choppers look nice....and why did no one tell me there was a patch??? thank God my system is fully operational again!

bizmark

The old fellas got his pc back!

Panzer81

Your aerial domination is at an end Karma, there will be funk.
The Huey Gunship will be less of a force to be reckoned with and the
cobra has finally got a real threat to it's crown.
Wonder if the russian heat-seekers for the 'Hormone' will suck like SA-7.

I like the idea of the scout helicopter, flanking flag-stealing madness.

It makes sense for the M60 and RPD to suck, too many people used them.
I'd been weaning off them onto M16/CAR/AKMS/AK47 and it ain't bad.

This'll make a big difference to the NVA. I can get in a tank and it is no longer
assumed that the first Yank I run into has a LAW. Before it was.
And for infantry the M60 is no longer as great or comes with LAW.

Roll on V1.1 and map pack.

bizmark

assumed that the first Yank I run into has a LAW

Ya that made tanks useless tbh

Winters

Only just back from a night of drinking so excuse me for being late. Heres my usual mirror madness. Best I can find at the moment, should be enough for all. Not too many Irish/UK mirrors up yet though so will be waiting for them.

Tried it out yesterday, much better balance now that the M60/Law combo is gone. The M60 is still good tho if you go prone with it, which is the way it should be used, the ramboesce sillyness is no more thankfully.

.. its also less laggy on 32 player servers

bizmark

Aye its back to rifles now which is great seeming they fixed the Ak47 as well (it was **** before) also the first yank you come across isnt armed to the theet waiting for ya with a law or m60.

I love the m16

suppafly

yeah it way to easy with the law/m60. i could easily gun down 3 people all shooting at u at the same time us of the power. it was well good for spraying!

ARKANGEL

i promised karma and some of the other tig guys id give them this workaround to stop them crashing out of game and sometimes to desktop after patching bfv to 1.01..here goes.. In your main Battlefield Vietnam folder (most likely CProgram Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BFVietnam) there is a folder called "Settings". In the Settings folder, there is a sub-folder named "Profiles", and in this folder your personal data is kept. Deleting this folder should resolve the issue that you are experiencing.
it works..it just creates a brand new profile when u restart the game up.....

Weird, I remember pointing something like that out a few days ago when someone mentioned it on several bf news sites. Ive yet to have any problems with it.
