Best Answer

The Tet offensive by North Vietnam used the VC (Viet Cong) as it's primary offensive weapon by the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) and in so doing the VC were never as potent as an opposing field force to Allied combatants ,

After Tet the NVA shouldered the burden of conducting offensive operations against the Allies : the Vietnam War became a war conducted/fought by conventional armies in contrast to a guerrilla war .
