Cargo Truck (North Korea)

The Cargo Truck is an North Korean heavy truck featured in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

Overview
The Cargo Truck is a six-wheeled five-ton truck used primarily by the North Koreans. It is mainly brown, save for one North Korean flag painted on its hood. It is a simple flat-bed design with rails on either side to prevent the cargo from falling off the truck. These trucks can commonly be seen driving around with supply crates in their cargo hold. The Cargo Truck is extremely common and can be easily found nearby almost any North Korean outpost or stronghold.

Occasionally the Cargo Truck may be found with a large yellow fuel container on the bed, however unlike the Fuel Truck, this is a prop and is extremely vulnerable to impact damage or gunfire; it may also fall off the truck. Rarely it can be seen carrying an Heavy Machine Gun, such as the one near the Two of Diamonds. There is also one Truck near the Seven of Clubs with a pack containing money cases.

When the player destroys a North Korean Cargo Truck, $2,000 is added to their account.

Tactics
The Cargo Truck is an unarmored and unarmed vehicle, therefore it isn't suited for combat. Its North Korean disguise can be useful for the mercenary to get behind enemy lines without being noticed, although the Transport Truck is a wiser choice for this strategy, since it can carry more allied units.

Real life
The North Korean Cargo Truck is based on the Russian Ural-4320 and the Sungri Motor Plant truck without the canopy on the back.
