I have to agree with the mod things, as for those wanting AS type gameplay... Sorry no battles in 'Nam was big enough, and even those that were had little to NO armor...
Assault Squad was in my opinion the most boring one of them all, if you had seen one of the missions, you had seen them all.
Men of War and Vietnam however introduced the SP and cracking riddles kind of gameplay.

In other words, infiltration, equipment theft (Well one battle I did manage to steal a couple of M48 tanks.)
The joy of this game is not fighting large scale battles, if you want that then I am sorry to say, MoW is NOT for you.
Men Of War with its direct control feature is best enjoyed on sneaky SP missions and Coop moments.
In fact, I dare to say Men Of War and Men Of War Vietnam is ONLY enjoyable in Coop, the workload and coordination required micro management wise, is too much for one person.

The first mission in the campaign where you have to kill a couple of pilots illustrates this perfectly.
You cannot fire 2x M-79s at the same time and with the same accuracy in single player, it just isn't doable.

So Mack? How would you solve the situation I gave you? How would you fire 2x M79s at the same time from two different positions?

slow down time and quickly switch from one soldier to the other? i've been doing that since the original MoW to co-ordinate attacks.

Sadly you wouldn't have time to do that, the grenades have to land at the same time to score a kill in both camps.
Coop also makes MoW more fun as your buddy can do a ruckus at one side of the camp, while you can use the ruckus to pick off the enemy from behind while they are busy.

that's not the point. the point is you are incorrect stating that single player is too difficult to manage.

Yes, and I gave you a SAMPLE situation to solve that proves that point.
