Instead, it can <strong>Tunnelnetzwerke<\/strong> build and use it for covert troop movements.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This mechanic is the central asymmetric counterpart to the US helicopters:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>US troops move quickly and visibly through the air.<\/li>\n<li>NVA troops can be laid covertly through tunnels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the crossplay play test, the system has already been weakened. The developers announced for the launch, among other things:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduce the maximum number of tunnel connections from 5 to 4<\/li>\n<li>Reduce tunnel cruising speed<\/li>\n<li>Remove the Commander\u2019s Emergency Tunnel capability first and revise it later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shows how strongly the tunnels influence the entire balancing.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also important: Immediately after the launch, a specific server crash cause related to NVA tunnels was identified. The developers have now corrected this process; patch 1.2 contains further tunnel and stability fixes. This remains a technical error and is independent of the playful balance of the tunnel mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"welche-nva-klasse-eignet-sich-fur-anfanger\">Which NVA class is suitable for beginners?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For new players, the <strong>Rifleman<\/strong> A good start.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then you can specialize depending on your interest:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Medic<\/strong> For support<\/li>\n<li><strong>Engineer<\/strong> For construction and explosives<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grenadier<\/strong> For explosive and anti-tank tasks<\/li>\n<li><strong>Machine Gunner<\/strong> For repression<\/li>\n<li><strong>Specialist<\/strong> For support and special weapons<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recon<\/strong> For intelligence<\/li>\n<li><strong>Armour<\/strong> For vehicle combat<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mortar Squad<\/strong> For indirect fire support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fazit-nva-klassen-leben-von-asymmetrischem-gameplay\">Conclusion: NVA classes live from asymmetric gameplay<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NVA is not a copy of the US site. Type 56, RPD, RPG-02, K50M, Type 53 and LPO-50 give the faction its own weapon profile \u2013 and the tunnels change the overall strategic mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Weight system also ensures that an unlocked item is not automatically the best choice. The higher a roll is leveled, the greater the choice, but equipment and utility must continue to be weighed against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-nva-klassen-in-hell-let-loose-vietnam\">FAQ: NVA classes in Hell Let Loose Vietnam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details fln-content-faq is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How many NVA roles are there?<\/summary>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fln-content-faq__answer is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At launch, the NVA will have 15 of the 17 officially listed roles available.
