Operation Remembrance is a massive expansion and realism mod for EA's Battlefield: Vietnam. Operation Remembrance has been created by Denal Douglas, a private mod-maker, and has been in the works for almost nine years. It adds dozens of maps, small arms, weapons emplacements, aircraft, land vehicles, and naval vessels, as well as significant improvements to the AI, making singleplayer more fun and more challenging.
New, historically correct uniforms for the ARVN Rangers, a sub-faction of the regular ARVN that's being added in V1.1.
I can finally play as the unit my grandfather was in. A decade ago he was still with me, sad we never got to talk much about this till the end.
Out of every comment I've received for this mod, this is the best one. I'm honored to be able to do this for you.
Thank you. Regardless of how badly the war went out after 68, the southern soldiers did fight with the best they could have unlike in the post-war propaganda. They were running out of ammo, fuel, weapons. Their call for aids unanswered and under bad leaderships. The last days were fighting against an army that out-numbered and out-guns them both in and ouside. Politic lost this war, not entirely the fault of the military.
Despite the harsh life and treatments my grandfather got after 75, he never regret it. And I'm of the same opinion. The past was what shape him as a person, moving on to the future is meaningless if he have to abandon it. Hopeless, but at one point you realize there's always somethings that can't be changed no matter what.
That's a large part of the reason why I made this mod. I want people to know the truth, especially about South Vietnam. I'm ashamed of the part my own country played in the whole war. If we had gone in with the right mindset, dedicated to actually protecting the South Vietnamese instead of just setting up a puppet government, I think we could have done something good. We might have been able to help clean out the corruption in the RVN government and the ARVN as a whole and stabilize the situation, but instead we let politics and our own interests dictate how we acted.
