That rice paddy you thought you could land in

There are two types of Battlefield fans. Those who worship at the altar of Bad Company 2 , and those with a scarred thumb from mashing ‘E’ to get into a Huey before it got C4’d by a tunnel rat.

(Docked one point because getting the mod to run on Windows 11 requires a blood sacrifice to DirectX 9). Have you flown the skies of 'Nam lately? Drop your favorite Redux server IP in the comments. And remember: Don't get out of the boat.
