Vietnam Map

[Migparts]

A Vietnam map with parts of Thailand Laos and Cambodia would be highly desirable in DCS. Due to size perhaps it could be divided into a north and south region.

I want to bomb NVA units outside Khe Sahn.

nullToo bad we likely have to wait for the world map and all the new tech features we've been told are coming.  Destructible terrain and trees, IR missiles and AI that can't see through clouds, improved infantry, etc.  Then there's napalm/incendiarys which are still on the F-18 roadmap and used by a lot of upcoming planes, AIM-9E, AIM-4D, extended fuse bombs, CBU pods like the A-4 mod(which were used on the F-4E but we aren't getting them for some reason), and lot's of other stuff that hasn't been mentioned including period correct ground, naval, and air assets.

For now, at least there are mods and what I like to call "Vietnam at home" or "I can't believe it's not Vietnam for the 30 seconds it takes to traverse the southern part of Guam".null

So why isn't the A-4 an  official mod? Seems like its good enough to be one.

Iirc it's because the team behind it want to keep it freely available as a hobby they do for fun instead of a job.  Plus I think they said they would have to entirely redo the aircraft and learn the SDK since what they have now is a bunch of workarounds to get stuff working.  It would be nice if ED would better support mods in terms of SDK access.  Per their FAQ, access to the SDK would allow fully functioning radios, the ability to use guided weapons like the Bullpup, the possibility of buddy tanking, and better supercarrier integration.

The amount of aircraft types that fit into a Nam map is staggering, starting with the French in the 50's.  From Bearcats to Tomcats and everything in between, nearly the entire century series in various forms, and everything that flew off a carrier deck from 60 to 75.
