Asymmetric Multiplayer: The opposing factions have completely different weapons available to their respective teams.In reality, the NLF mainly consisted of south Vietnamese, so they should have accents similar to the ARVN instead.
RED ORCHESTRA VIETNAM ALPHA LICENSE
Artistic License Linguistics: The NLF has identical voice lines to the PAVN.

This change was mostly done to prevent friendly fire, as both North and Southern factions would use similar green-colored uniforms. While they were used in real life during the First Indochina War and the early years of the Vietnam War, most of the PAVN units used green-colored uniforms. The North Vietnamese Army (PAVN) uses a khaki uniform.And moreover, rocket launchers are only usable by the NLF and PAVN despite the M72 Light Anti-tank Weapon were being one of the popular weapons used by the southern forces during the war.Artistic License History: Only southern forces had access to flamethrower even though northern sappers were known to used the Soviet LPO-50.Artifact Title: The original Rising Storm was set in the Pacific Front of World War II, so Rising Storm 2 appends "Vietnam" on the end to avoid any confusion as to the game's setting.However, wearing the right armor can be the difference between blending right into the background and sticking out like a sore thumb, so armor isn't useless as much as it protects the wearer in a different way. A helmet wearing, fully clothed grunt is no less susceptible to damage than a shirtless farmer wearing a bandana note though this is somewhat Truth in Television: The 'flak jacket' was built to defend against fragments and shrapnel caused by explosions they were ineffective against direct-fired bullets and uncomfortable to wear in the hot and humid climate of Vietnam. Armor Is Useless: The new character customization options allow the player to customize their soldier's head protection, as well as flak jackets for certain factions, but this has no effect during the game.45 caliber 1911 pistol manages to be put enemies down in just a couple shots, and slower bolt action rifles do not do increased damage compared to automatic weapons firing the same cartridge. Arbitrary Gun Power: Averted, as the powerful.The latter are especially helpful on maps that give the Southern Forces access to attack and transport helicopters.
