1. The VC were effective, until they were eliminated (as an effective force) when they surfaced (and conducted conventional warfare) during the TET offensive of '68. 2. The war shifted into general warfare (escalated into conventional warfare) when the regular NVA (North Vietnamese Army) absorbed most of the fighting. By 1971, the NVA were fighting with PT76 and T54/55 tanks against ARVN units. 3. Warfare over the skies of North Vietnam had always been conventional hi-tech jet warfare. E.g. B-52's verses MiG-21's etc. At least two MiG-21s were shot down by B-52 tail gunners. Note: 21st century B52s no longer have manned tail gunners.
