I actually like this idea, but we'd have to find some Korean people who can do the voices.

Lol, we should also make all the engineer kits Chinese.

Because there were a number of Chinese that worked on rebuilding railroads...etc.

Well that would only be for the North, anyway this is a pretty awesome idea but the weapons and vehicles used in the Korean war were a majority of the weapons and vehicles used in
WW2, and if we are already that far you might as well say "Oh hell why not just make PR:WW2."

Are you guys thinking North Korea? Because the South Koreans sent some of their Marines (which, by the way, are totally badass) to Vietnam.

I think what the OP is saying is to make a south korean faction for PR:V since they helped the US in the war. not make a korean war mod for PR. although that would rock.

I'm Korean-American and I support this idea SOO much. I was actually going to make a thread suggesting this before I realized I need 25 posts and I stumbled upon this thread.

South Korea was arguably one of the U.S.'s greatest and most committed allies during the Vietnam War. My korean friend's uncle fought in the Vietnam War as part of the "White Horse" division. He saw some tough combat out there, that's all I know.

There were three South Korean divisions in the Vietnam War. "White Horse" "Blue Dragon" and "*insert color here* Tiger* divisions.

Most Koreans were armed with M16A1 rifles freshly acquired after they were modernized by US military arms contributions, and the South Korean troops phased out their largely issued M1 Carbines for these M16A1's.

The Republic of Korea Marine Corps called "heah-byung-deah" in Korean pronunciation kicked a lot of ***. They were noted by Americans to be expert troops who sniffed out weapons caches like experts.

American military commanders also stated that: "[t]he Koreans were thorough in their planning and deliberate in their execution of a plan. They usually surrounded an area by stealth and quick movement. While the count of enemy killed was probably no greater proportionately than that of similar US combat units, the thoroughness with which the Koreans searched any area they fought in was attested to by the fact that the Koreans usually came out with a much higher weaponry count than US troops engaged in similar actions."

South Korea had a kill death ratio of something like for 1 S.K. soldier killed, there would be 25 NVA or Vietcong killed.

Furthermore, Americans also said: "In summary, it appears that Korean operations in Vietnam were highly professional, well planned, and thoroughly executed; limited in size and scope, especially in view of assets made available; generally unilateral and within the Korean tactical area of responsibility; subject to domestic political considerations; and highly successful in terms of kill ratio."

Look at the this battle as an example of South Korean combat capabilities: Battle of Tra Binh Dong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adding a Korean faction in this game would spice a lot of things up. They would be akin to the British Faction in Blufor in the regular PR game.

Please please consider this. I'll be more than happy to help if you guys need any if you guys decide to carry on with adding on this faction in the future. Thanks.

It WOULD add to the time era sorta . . . . I say we should

What is wrong with you? Stop reviving threads which clearly have no benefit, you've been warned numerous times..

Vietnam is still in development and as indicated by the developers themselves, there will only be a small number of factions, things like this can wait till after the game is released and further development ensues.

I am sorry this is far from the truth. That 1 to 25 ratio is highly suspect and many of those killed by south korean marines were in fact civillions murdered. The south korean were brutal to say the least.

The american feedback was far from good acording to the RAND corperation's study since they arrived in vietnam in 1965" they were reputed to burn everything down, to destroy everything, to seize everything and kill everyone." among the report RAND memorandum RM 5487-ISA/ARPA jul 68 one american stated

" The south koreans when they were there, hell,they didnt have to get a shot.i mean, they didnt even have to have to have one round come out of the village. If they suspected there were vietnamese(sic) there they would kill everyone in that village. everyone. And i have seen the villagers they went through" COHRO,sanders interview page 135.

In an operation in december 1967 the koreans claimed they had a bodycount of 700 to twenty koreans killed which was ridiculous considering there was according to inteligence only an estimated 500 vietcong in that AO. According to Jesse Frank Walsch who was intelligence officer in the us advisory team in Quan Ngai province Even the pentagon assumed that the after action report for december 67 pointed to a second massacre in the My Lai(4) area

on the 12th of febuary 1968 in the villages of Phong Nhi and Phong Nhut(2) in the Bien Ban district. korean marine murdered 79 inhabitants and burnt the settlements down to the last building.NA RG 472. USFSEA, MACV, IG , ROI, FOLDER: Victory dragon vol 1a(correction/ follow up action)

a senior milatary advisor in Quang Nam Province wrote " The vietenamese peasents are ,of course deathly afraid of the koreans. Many say that they prefer the VC to the Koreans......(this)may actually be cuaseing an increase in VC sympathizors throughout the Korean TOAR"


I am sorry to shatter such Ilusions of heroics and toughnessn. War is hell, but the korean marines are not worthy of such hero worship or such boastfull rewriting of history on Wiki

all those quates were from the time as it happened dureing the vietnam war and have been quoated from a well researched book with citations throughout.

as stated in the factions talk about Koreans i dont mind the idea of a korean faction but when peaple start saying how great they were i am compulsed to point out the ugly truth and that they may well have been counter productive to the US war effort.

If you need voices for Gurkha faction or Nepalese (i may be of some help because im nepalese)

Korean factions/the Korean war as a setting have been suggested before, hence the lock. In the future, please use the Search function and check the *** thread in the BF2 R suggestions forum.
