The VC used guerrilla warfare up until about '68 (TET offensive); after the VC were basically ineffective (nearly wiped out), the NVA took over the fight. The war was nearly always a conventional war when NVA units were involved. The war was always conventional over the skies of North Vietnam...between the US Air Force and Naval Air Force units.
