Cargo Truck (China)

The Cargo Truck is a Chinese Army heavy truck featured in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

Overview
The Cargo Truck is used by the People's Liberation Army to transport supplies into and across North Korea. It is large, unwieldy, and can only carry 2 people. Despite its purpose as a cargo mover, the bed is always empty save for the Fuel Truck variant.

It can predominantly be found around Dandong and the adjacent bridge into North Korea. The Cargo Truck shares its appearance with the Allied Nations variant as well as the Song Motor Company SMC 2100.

Tactics
The Chinese Cargo Truck has the same armor, speed and capacity of other nations' trucks. The lack of armament makes this vehicle a poor choice for combat. A good use of the truck is infiltration: while driving one, the player can enter areas controlled by the PLA, such as the Tenement Ruins, without being noticed, if he pays attention to the officers.

Real Life
Unlike most vehicles in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, the Cargo Truck is not named after an existing real-life vehicle. However the Cargo Truck strongly resembles the 2-door variant of the Dongfeng EQ2102 used by the People's Liberation Army. Differences between the Cargo Truck and EQ2102 include a single windshield (not parted), a slightly different shaped window on the door, and square headlights rather than circular.
