Vietnamese language accuracy

[BoonReal]

I know this sounds really obvious, but so many past Vietnam War games that I've played have failed to feature one simple detail. The Viet Cong or NVA speaking Vietnamese. They end up speaking some random gibberish that I suppose the developers "pass" for Vietnamese. As a Viet player, it really disrupts the immersion and authenticity of the game hearing your people saying random cringey gibberish that you don't understand. Hopefully this game doesn't fall into the same mistakes that other games have done. I'm not trying to say that this is a crucial component to add into the game, but something a lot of Vietnamese gamers like me would enjoy and appreciate. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Is there any example for Vietnamese voice acting in a game that you think has to be seen positively? I really want to know what you'd consider "good" Vietnamese voice acting.

The only recent one that I've seen that was pretty good was Bad Company 2: Vietnam. Another one is Vietcong 2, but that game has aged for quite some time now.

I actually thought so that Bad Company 2: Vietnam had authentic voice acting.

Of course they did. It'd be interesting to see if they gave the ARVN and the VC South Vietnamese accents while the NVA have the Northern accent. That is, if the ARVN are even put into the game, which I highly doubt will happen.

Yeah, the voices were provided by actual Vietnamese voice actors. Unlike some games like Black Ops where you got this kinda stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc-mW5TNR1I I thought this was hilarious.

You could even give the northern accent to some of the VC officers, to emphasize that the insurgency was being bolstered by NVA support, especially if political officers are depicted.
