Just a thought, is there anyone out there who is a modder that could mod in some kiwi uniforms or hats or some cool Maori tattoos. I know there already is a New Zealand hat you can choose. But that's only one at level 75. I just feel our little bros across the ditch are a bit left out. When they were an integral part of the 1st Australian Task Force.

Not sure what the New Zealand Vietnam uniform looks like though. Probably similar to the Australian one I presume. But if it's different why not add it in?

They shared the same uniform even down to the hats. Believe me I've looked.

About 30% of the force sent over was Maori however. Maori culture had mixed with British military tradition about 100 years prior so many Maori volunteers could place a direct ancestor in every major war New Zealand had participated in.

But yeah the only real differences would be the skins, tattoo's and voices. Which actually sounded far more British than today's accent in the 60s. NZ has borrowed most of its current accent from the Australians.

They used different looking L1A1's. They used black plastic furniture instead of the Lithgow wooden furniture. Even though all NZ L1A1s were Lithgow made.
