This next feature from the 1C Game Studios crew is focused on the trains of IL-2 Korea. There’s a surprising amount of detail and effort that have been put into making sure that these key logistical pieces are detailed and I have to say it looks quite good. Let’s check it all out.
Almost like a train sim!
IL-2 Korea is coming along and the dev team have recently been featuring a mix of aircraft related updates together with other updates. We’ve seen trucks, artillery, mortars and others all listed and we’ve seen a little bit about trains previously but now we’re getting a focus on it.
Korea will feature 3D rails (in Great Battles they were flat) and more detailed train stations, trains and various forms of cars including flatbeds with tanks on them.
The team have decided to choose two locomotives to be representative of the wide variety of locomotives used. The American USATC S160 in a 2-8-0 scheme will be the “blue” side locomotive while the Czechoslovakian Type 475.1 in a 4-8-2 scheme will be on the red side. The three number system indicates running wheels, driving wheels and trailing wheels respectively.
The team have done passenger, mail, boxcar, tank car, gondola car, flat car and AAA flat car each with a variety of cargo types for each. There are 28 combinations in total.
A video has been released that shows it all off in action and its looks great. Its not too far off from what I see while playing Train Sim World.
