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.
Anti-Air: The Northern Forces have access to anti-air defenses ranging from Dhsk heavy machine gun emplacements to SAM sites. This is rather fitting for this game, as newer player sport well kept, clean pressed uniforms, with torn up and shoddier looking clothes unlocking for higher ranks. And Your Reward Is Clothes: Progression in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam unlocks cosmetic customization options for your soldier. 
However, certain things are glossed over, such as the presence of the M16A1 (only officially adopted in real life from 1969 onward) in a time where only the original M16 was available. Anachronism Stew: Averted for the most part, as the campaign mode takes place between 1965-1975, taking into account period appropriate weapons, escalation of warfare, and certain factions entering or departing as time passes.
