They don't have grenade launchers or other indirect option of their own to fight back on even terms. If they stayed, they'd be just shelled to pieces. Retreat was right call, execution was botched.
@@ReySchultz121 Well alongside The fact the US/ARVN were basically having to brute force through guerilla positions with no terrain advantage, The US began to lose Public opinion in the war, And the effects of Defoliants on Friendly forces aswell as the terrain basically forced the US to pull out or suffer civil war.
Member of the combat squad here. We lost our radio very early on and we had no contact with other units. We started the round thinking we were right at their spawn. Once we realized that they were going to flank us, the original squad moved around and got separated. I was the AT guy so I was very slow and joined a group of guys. We were just quietly going through the jungle and just happening to hit ARVN at the best times. The river flank was just us basically following sounds and walking in random directions. At the end the VC are shooting from the hideout thinking we are ARVN. Me and the other guys in the squad assume its ARVN and since I was too slow to run, I decided to do a last stand thinking there were way more ARVN than there actually were. Also, in the mirror match I was the driver of the APC and when we get ambushed and molotov'd, I panicked and tried to run the VC down. Somehow me and Latham were able to stealthily drive the APC and clear the hideout together. It was so much fun and is genuinely the most fun I have had in Arma!
Oh my your story reminded me of why I love those moments when I just get lost and tag along with another squad, what makes it a bit more funny for me is I'm normally playing the medic and play in smaller units, so occasionally through sheer incompetence I can accidently make one squads life a bit of a pain and buff up another
That flank was epic, but also pretty accurate. They were literally in the trees all around them, almost by chance, and executed an ambush even with low tier communication equipment.
Now I'd like to think that a majority of those ambushes that happened in Vietnam were instances of VC and US forces accidentally running into each other and Spiderman pointing at each other

It's a shame we can't always see the debriefs. Love hearing about what everyone was thinking and why they did what they did. Great content as always Rimmy!
Rimmy explained the joys of the debrief in his Radio video, where one squad will apologize for having teamkilled another squad, where that squad will laugh because they thought they were killed by the enemy, etc. That is something I really wish I could see more of.

Pinned down the AVRN forces an allowed them to be killed off. And then that tight ending which almost ended in VC defeat
VC: "It's immobile. If practicable, get up on that thing and slaughter those motherfuckers, over!" Rimmy: "Did you just hear that OpFor command? That was awesome!" Me: "Rimmy, have you ever seen a really old, really obscure history movie called *Gettysburg*?"
It takes a lot of commitment and coordination for a small unit like that to stay combat effective without any contact with friendly forces for so long.
Y'know what would be really cool? Seeing Rimmy do a game where the riot on the Kitty Hawk(1972) becomes out of hand and turns into a mutiny Edit: Y'know, this idea was completely stupid and after reading a bit more(a whole book) about the Kitty Hawk, I'd like to say that never again will I say the above statement.

VC plan part 1: get a grenadier out in the field. Part 2: have said grenadier attack front line. Part 3: Retreat, someone’s blowing us up, surely it can’t be our own forces, the enemy must be advancing. Considering how short range their communications are, I feel like that’s a super real thing that could have happened in an actual war. Like I don’t know of a case where it has, but I’m sure it has.
Oddly enough that is a rather accurate war scenario with how deludded and confused one side becomes it's actually very facinating and could be counted as an accurate simulation ....
