Soviet ZiS Heavy Trucks

Picture of ZiS trucks


Current:
ZiS Truck....unit 45....carry 32...size 4...4x2.........spd 15
ZiS Truck ...unit 466...carry 24...size 4...4x2.........spd 12
ZiS 42.........unit 301...carry 18...size 3...Halftrack...spd 18

The three ZiS vehicles have an identical body, only the drivetrain and speed should be different (like the GAZ trucks but the ZiS are larger).

Recommended changes highlighted:
ZiS-5 Heavy Truck......unit 45....carry 24...size 4...4x2........spd 60Kmh
ZiS-6 Heavy Truck......unit 466...carry 24...size 4...6x4........spd 55Kmh
ZiS 42 Hvy Halftrack...unit 301...carry 24...size 4...H-track... spd 45Kmh

ZiS Truck Unit 45
1. Could change name to ZiS-5 Heavy Truck (over 1,000,000 produced)
2. Could change carry from 32 to 24 (unless this causes OOB problems)
3. May want to tweak speed (ZiS-5 speed: 60Kmh)
4. Could create new icon (same icon as unit 466)
ZiS-5 size: 239 x 88 inches

ZiS Truck Unit 466

Additional Heavy Truck

The YaG-6 Heavy Truck may make a useful addition to the Soviet OOB because it would give the Soviets a truck that could carry about 32 men.
To avoid ‘carry 32’ OOB problems with unit 45, perhaps it’s possible to change unit 45 to a YaG-6, then create a new ZiS-5 with carry 24?

YaG-6 Heavy truck 5 ton
Made: 8,075
Available: 1932
Drive: 4x2
Size: 256 x 98 inches (size 5)
Speed: 40Kmh
