Supply Trucks were the supply collectors for the Chinese army.
Background[]
| “ | We are pretty busy here. - Supply Truck |
” |
Moving back and forth from supply docks or piles to the nearest Supply Center, Supply Trucks could collect a large quantity of supplies per run (up to $300/per run). Supply Trucks are cheap and can be quickly assembled in a Chinese supply Center. However, they are unarmed and lightly armored to keep costs down and to meet the minimum standard for having civilians as drivers. Also, unlike other supply collectors, once all the supplies on the battle field has been collected, they will have no further use to the commander.

Entirely unarmed, Supply Trucks had to be kept safely away from harm and protected at all times. Being a non-combat unit, the Supply Truck was quite lightly armoured and vulnerable to almost any enemy units, especially tanks and aircraft.
However, being vehicles, they are unexpectedly useful against raiding assault infantry, who they can just run over if they do not move. In particular, they are useful as an improvised defense measure against the General power Rebel Ambush, since the ambush tends to appear in rear areas. However, this tactic is useless against the infantry of General Juhziz, who are wired with explosives and will detonate when the truck runs them over.

Trivia[]
- There was an alternate model for the Chinese supply truck. Instead of being one piece, it's a truck with a trailer. This was used for the old supply collecting logic, but the developers preferred the other truck, so this one went unused.
- Visually, the supply truck carries a large amount of supply crates in one load, while the American Chinook only carries a single crate. However, the Chinook can still carry twice as much supplies as the supply truck in one load.
