We are pleased to present the first group shot of the US Army multiplayer classes. In this update will be taking a closer look into the roles of the Grunt, Machine Gunner, Radioman, Specialist, Marksman, NCO and Platoon Leader with full load-out information and interactive 360° renders.
Meet the Team
Grunt (GR)
The Grunt class is the standard infantryman, the foot soldier, of the United States Army. The gear load out is fairly basic but offers a balanced play-style between offensive and defensive capabilities. Whether you’re assaulting a point or providing covering fire for other players who are - the Grunt is equipped for it
Full Load-out information and interactive 360° render can be found on the respective faction page
Machine Gunner (MG)
The Machine Gunner has a primary role in area denial and suppression. It is a pivotal defense class, most suitable for holding freshly conquered positions and supporting advances, rather than leading them.

Radioman (RTO)
The radioman class, or radio telephone operator (RTO) carries his unit's communications gear on his back and serves as a link between his combat unit and headquarters.

Specialist (SP)
Specialists are an invaluable support class with a wide range of capabilities; they might be tasked with opening up new avenues of attack, clearing and capturing enemy strongholds, or setting perimeter defenses through the addition of the M18 Claymore mine.

Marksman (SNP)
The designated marksman's responsibilities are to engage enemy infantry at long range, to provide area denial against infantry and to spot potential threats. Often, marksman will act as scouts gathering detailed reconnaissance from a concealed position before offering covering fire for their squad. By walking point, they can help eliminate any first contact threat before withdrawing.

Platoon Leader (PL)
Platoon Leaders are responsible for leading the team in battle and for calling in most forms of support. It is essential for the player to coordinate with the NCO classes and Radioman in order to relay appropriate orders and timely support requests.

They all look really good! I cant wait to play it
Can't wait for this to come out!
Question: will radioman be able to call artillery fire when he wants and where he wants or must be ordered by NCO/PL with arty points over the map? I remember old good Vietcong were in co-op you, as radioman, could sign a point on a portable map with coordinates on it (like they did in reality, but ofc simplified) and call in for an airstrike, that was soo cool :)
I am very exited for this mod. Great work so far.
Looks amazing. Keep it up
finally someone makes a true 'nam experience. I haven't been this excited to go back to 'nam since battlefield Vietnam!
A true Vietnam experience would consist mostly of napalming children and zippoing villages in order to force hundreds of thousands of civilians to relocate to unsanitary Saigon controlled camps.
Why don't you tell that to the developers? Pipe down; war is war, and this is just a game.
i agree, i wish they could add that too! ;)
Excellent stuff, the weapon models look very good as well. It'd be neat if you guys put in a double underfolder, but that's just my gun boner talking to me.
How does the dynamic between Radioman/NCO/PL work?
this is gonna be so good
