Hello everybody!
Today we will tell you a little about the ground vehicles we are producing for the new project Korea. IL-2 Series. As usual, the set includes the main types — staff car, ambulance, light truck, and heavy truck — we have been using this approach since Rise of Flight. This time, however, we have developed a special scheme to multiply the variety of ground objects (which are also targets for the player).
The idea is simple — all cars and trucks will have different load options. Basically, each truck can carry troops, general army cargo, barrels of fuel and lubricants, or ammunition boxes. In addition, each truck can have a canvas tarp or not, which can be combined with the cargo options. Of course, what kind of cargo the truck is carrying drastically changes what happens when it is hit. If the truck is carrying fuel or ammunition, there will be an explosion or fire. If it is carrying soldiers, they will try to disperse. Crates will spill out if the truck flips over.
In addition to the various cargoes, another entity has been introduced that contributes to the variety of convoys — vehicle trailers. First of all, these are classic cargo trailers, which, like the truck itself, have various loading options and can be equipped with a canvas tarp. Secondly, every stationary anti-aircraft gun, cannon, howitzer, and searchlight in our new project has a transport variant in addition to the deployed one.
All these innovations allow, with a minimal increase in cost and PC load, to qualitatively diversify and improve the view of one of the main targets of a ground attack pilot — transport columns. Now we will be able to show columns with reinforcements, columns with fuel and oil, columns carrying ammunition, supply columns, and an artillery or anti-aircraft battery during redeployment. And, of course, there are airfield refueling trucks — a three-axle truck of any coalition has such an option.

GAZ-67B All-wheel drive personnel vehicle with high off-road capability
During the Great Patriotic War it was not particularly common due to significant deliveries of Willys jeeps via the Lend-Lease program. However, after the war it became the most important Soviet vehicle of this class. It could carry up to 450 kg of cargo, including 4 troops. The vehicle could tow a trailer; in the sim it is the GAZ-704 single-axle trailer with a payload of up to 500 kg. It was given to North Korea by the USSR as military aid during the Korean War.

GAZ-55 Rear-wheel drive army transport
Built on the chassis of the GAZ-MM truck you may know from IL-2 Great Battles and produced from the late 1930s to the late 1940s, it was mostly used as an ambulance, but could also be used for other tasks. It was given to North Korea by the USSR as military aid during the Korean War.

GAZ-63 Army four-wheel drive medium truck
Developed in parallel with the civilian rear-wheel drive GAZ-51, at the time of the Korean War it was a modern model, having been put into production in 1948. It had a payload of up to two tons and could tow a trailer — in the sim it is a single-axle IAPZ-735 with a payload of up to 1500 kg. It was given to North Korea by the USSR as military aid during the Korean War.

Studebaker US6 American three-axle four-wheel drive truck
Actively supplied to Kuomintang China during World War II, after the revolution in China many of these trucks went to the new Chinese state and were given to the DPRK later. The Soviet Union also transferred some of the Lend-Lease trucks left over from the Great Patriotic War after the war in Korea began. In addition to the truck variants, there were also BM-13 Katyusha rocket mortar launchers. In the simulation the truck will have six variants: Truck (platform, tent, with various cargoes), Tanker, Airfield tanker BZ-35S, BM-13 rocket launcher, Mobile anti-aircraft machine gun Vz.53, Mobile anti-aircraft gun 61-K.
