General tips
When you move with your squad you must press Q for them to spot enemies, but doing so will make them charge in a suicide rush towards them, to avoid that you need to use squad command: F1-F2 (line formation), + C (Stay low, different from Ctrl to crouch yourself) + F3-F4 (Hold position).
press C again to give command to get up, then F1-F2 to continue line formation.

You can then proceed to spot enemies with Q without risking shooting at your own teammates running agains them or getting killed (sometimes you can spot their Ranks if within a certain range to avoid friendly fire but not always, I don't know what cause their ranks to disappear yet. need more testing)


You can Carry wounded soldier to the medcamp to respawn them (+25XP)


SCREEN LOADING TIPS
(from the dev updates)
Keybindings
Press Q to spot enemies and have your squad focus fire on them. YOUR SQUAD IS BLIND WITHOUT SPOTTING.

Press B to use Binoculars

You can Zoom in using Middle Mouse Button (MMB) as Infantry and Aircraft.

You can recruit any soldier lower of your rank by pressing F5 next to them

Your quad will follow you into the chopper if you spam B. make sure theyre close or else they wont enter

You can interact with civilians by unequipping your weapon and LMB on them. (pressin O as US soldier may reveal hidden bases/weapon caches)

You can drag bodies (Allied and Enemies) with J

F6 while on a radio: ??? (Need testing/bugfixing)

Press K while on your inventory to clean your gun (replenish condition%) and unlocks an achievement

Press U to capture enemy flags (Unconfirmed, Need to be at least 30 seconds under the blue star as well?)

Missing info: Key to swap radio battery?

Every USA base has a Radio building, search for the big Antenna


When at the radio you can open the map and use it to mark targets for actions


You can use the radio of your radio operator even after he got killed in battle

Map
Skills
(Work in Progress)

  • -As Vietnamese you can fast travel across towns and small villages (US side confirmation?)
  • -Middle mouse button seems to zoom your view slightly. (Maybe dependent on Aim stat for zoom intensity?)
  • -The weapon you have currently equipped affects your speed. Switch to your sidearm/melee or holster your weapon to move faster.
  • -Try to always loot enemy corpse as they may drop maps showing tunnels or weapon caches
  • -After you make your squad board the Heli and marked a position on the map you can switch to gunner seat and the heli will fly itself without crashing circling around the position
  • -Occasionally when interacting with Vietnamese citizens, sometimes have a heart appear above their heads and make kissing noises, along with a boost to the Charisma stat (UNCONFIRMED)

  • -Bring the dead/wounded to Medical Tents for XP and Skills, maybe even get the troop back.

  • -Tiger kills give Rep, Courage, and one or two others (TESTING)
  • -grenades seem useless (Testing throwables)
Credits
YOU!

I always try and be active on game wikis if I sink lots of hours into a game, a little edit can go a long way, while we wait for a proper wiki or official tutorial to be made by people far more skilled and with more free time than me I want to thank you all who left even just a single comment of something you found out while playing the game that's not present here or a confirm/busting of some info present here.

Hope this guide will make your next game more immersive! <3

@cow obliterated by train

Thank you for the screens! I will be testing the upgrade bench along other of your suggestion to update it, I've been busy reading the patch notes.

I was hoping to find some good tutorial videos to attach for those who prefer video guides but no luck, mostly people playing blindly like us haha

In the spirit of contribution, there is no dog trainer skill listed on char sheet, yet clearly a mechanic in game. Pretty lit too.

Anyone know how to return to America after completing a tour? I've completed 2 and I'm not sure if there is a set number you have to do or if I'm missing something.
