Games

The Truck is a light commercial vehicle used by both Altian/Tanoan civilians as well as with several BLUFOR and INDFOR factions in ArmA 3.

Overview[]

Roles:
- Civilian transportation
- Troop transport
- Freight transport
- Refuelling

«

The civilian 4x4 truck is a highly customizable truck with off-road capabilities preferred by the civilian population. It builds on retro design, but utilizes a modern engine and electronics. Most common track setups are boxed, cistern and pick-up set.

Field Manual^[1]

Design[]

The Truck is a multipurpose, medium-sized, off-road capable van designed for a variety of roles ranging from transporting freight and/or passengers, to refuelling military and civilian vehicles.

Features
Trucks are available in three configurations:

The baseline Truck designed as a dropside vehicle capable of carrying up to twelve passengers
Converted tanker truck with a fuel cistern installed onto the rear bed
Boxer truck loaded with a storage box on its rear bed

Mobility
The engine on all variants of the Truck has a power output of 170 kW.^{[CfgVh 23]}^{[CfgVh 24]}^{[CfgVh 25]} The Truck's engine can generate up to 550 N·m of torque.^{[CfgVh 26]}^{[CfgVh 27]}^{[CfgVh 28]}

Unlike the cumbersome Van or the larger Zamak, the Truck has a surprisingly decent turn rate^{[CfgVh 29]}^{[CfgVh 30]}^{[CfgVh 31]} and can maintain speeds of up to 58-70 km/h whilst driving off-road or 48-54 km/h when climbing uphill.^{[CfgVh 32]}^{[CfgVh 33]}^{[CfgVh 34]}

Thanks to its torque curve^{[CfgVh 35]}^{[CfgVh 36]}^{[CfgVh 37]}, the Truck also has a very good acceleration rate and will need only ~ 20 seconds to attain its top speed. In contrast, the Van will need up to ~ 28 seconds to do the same, and in the case of the Zamak, it will take even longer and require up to ~ 30 seconds to achieve its top speed. However, the Truck's engine is much weaker than the Van (266 kW)^{[CfgVh 38]}, meaning that it will be capped to speeds of no more than ~ 118 km/h on turbo (resulting in the Truck being ~ 28% slower than the Van).

Drawbacks
Trucks have limited use outside of speedily getting its passengers to-and-from destinations. The baseline Truck is only useful for carrying passengers in bulk, and the Boxer variant is essentially a worse version of the baseline transport Truck since the cargo box takes up all of the rear bed space (it possesses no unique capabilities).

As a logistics platform, only the Fuel Truck variant actually has the ability to refuel ground vehicles and landed aircraft. Vans and Zamaks on the other hand, can not only refuel nearby vehicles, but also repair damaged vehicles, carry supply crates, as well as rearm mounted weapons.

Crew Capacity
All variants of the Truck require a driver to operate. Up to two passengers may be seated in the front cab next to the driver.^{[CfgVh 1]}^{[CfgVh 12]}^{[CfgVh 13]}

Only the baseline transport Truck with an empty rear bed allows for additional passengers to be seated. Up to ten of these passengers may be transported at a time.

Variants[]

Baseline dropside truck with an empty rear bed, intended to be utilised as a transport truck. Up to ten passengers may be seated on the bed, all of whom can utilise FFV. Two more passengers may be seated in the front cab alongside the driver.^{[CfgVh 1]}

This variant has a gross weight of 2400.04 kg.^{[SCR 1]}

Converted tanker truck with a fuel cistern on its bed. Two passengers may be seated in the front cab alongside the driver.^{[CfgVh 13]} This variant can refuel nearby land vehicles and grounded aircraft within a radius of 2.5 metres^{[CfgVh 39]} (up to 1,000,000,000,000 units worth of fuel).^{[CfgVh 40]}

This variant has a gross weight of 3200 kg.^{[SCR 1]}

Cargo truck with a storage box container loaded onto its rear bed. This variant allows for two passengers to be seated in the front cab alongside the driver.^{[CfgVh 12]} Other than its increased height due to the storage box's presence, this variant has no unique capabilities.

This variant is not utilised by any guerilla/insurgent factions and is exclusive to civilians.
This variant has a gross weight of 2509.4 kg.^{[SCR 1]}

Protection: Hitpoints[]

All variants of the Truck have a base armour value of 80.^{[CfgVh 41]}^{[CfgVh 42]}^{[CfgVh 43]}

The following highlighted positions serve as weak points on the Truck:

Arma3-truck-hitpoints-revised — **Left:** *Truck*, **Centre:** *Fuel Truck*, **Right:** *Truck Boxer*

**LEGEND**
**Green** = Body
**Orange** = Engine
**Violet** = Fuel tank
**Maroon** = Fuel cistern (Fuel variant only)

Body[]

The Truck's body (including the rear bed on the baseline dropside vehicle) can withstand up to 80 points of damage.^{[CfgVh 44]}^{[CfgVh 45]}^{[CfgVh 46]}^{[Formula 1]} It takes 150% additional damage from high-explosive (HE) type munitions.^{[CfgVh 47]}^{[CfgVh 48]}^{[CfgVh 49]}

100% of damage inflicted upon the body will be transferred to the vehicle's main "health" pool.^{[CfgVh 50]}^{[CfgVh 51]}^{[CfgVh 52]} Depletion of the body's integrity will instantly result in a catastrophic kill.^{[CfgVh 53]}^{[CfgVh 54]}^{[CfgVh 55]}

Engine[]

The Truck's engine can only take a maximum of 40 points of damage before it suffers from failure.^{[CfgVh 56]}^{[CfgVh 57]}^{[CfgVh 58]}^{[Formula 2]} The engine takes 50% reduced damage from high-explosive (HE) type munitions.^{[CfgVh 59]}^{[CfgVh 60]}^{[CfgVh 61]}

Up to 50% of damage inflicted upon the engine will be transferred to the Truck's main "health" pool. Destroying the engine can potentially cause a catastrophic explosion if the Truck is at critical "health" status.^{[CfgVh 62]}^{[CfgVh 63]}^{[CfgVh 64]}

Fuel tank[]

The Truck's fuel tank (but not the cistern on the Fuel Truck variant) can only withstand up to 40 points of damage before it ruptures.^{[CfgVh 65]}^{[CfgVh 66]}^{[CfgVh 67]}^{[Formula 3]} It takes 200% additional damage from HE-type munitions.^{[CfgVh 68]}^{[CfgVh 69]}^{[CfgVh 70]} Only 10% of damage inflicted upon the Truck's fuel tank will be shared with its main "health" pool.^{[CfgVh 71]}^{[CfgVh 72]}^{[CfgVh 73]}

It should be noted that specifically for the Fuel Truck variant^{[note 1]}, depletion of the fuel tank's integrity will not necessarily result in the Fuel Truck's destruction even if the vehicle is at critical "health" status. Any damage inflicted upon its fuel tank is instead dependent on the status of the flatbed's fuel cistern hitpoint.^{[CfgVh 74]}

Fuel cistern[]

The cistern on the Fuel Truck variant can only take 40 points of damage before it gets destroyed.^{[CfgVh 75]}^{[Formula 4]} It takes 200% additional damage from HE-type munitions.^{[CfgVh 76]} Only 10% of damage inflicted upon the cistern will be shared with the Fuel Truck's main "health" pool.^{[CfgVh 77]}

On its own, it is technically not possible for the Fuel Truck to explode upon the cistern's destruction even if the vehicle is at critical "health" status. However, because the fuel tank hitpoint on the Fuel Truck is linked to the status of the cistern^{[CfgVh 74]}, 10% of damage from the cistern will still be shared with the fuel tank.^{[CfgVh 77]} If the vehicle's fuel tank gets destroyed as a consequence of this passed damage, this cascades to a cumulative total of 20% damage shared to the Fuel Truck's global "health" pool. If the Fuel Truck is at critical, this can then (potentially) result in the vehicle exploding.^{[CfgVh 72]}^{[note 2]}

Wheels[]

Each of the Truck's wheels can take up to 120 points of damage before their tyres burst.^{[CfgVh 78]}^{[CfgVh 79]}^{[CfgVh 80]}^{[CfgVh 81]}^{[note 3]} They take 400% additional damage from HE-type munitions.^{[CfgVh 82]}^{[CfgVh 83]}^{[CfgVh 84]}^{[CfgVh 85]} Damage inflicted upon any of the wheels will not be shared with the Truck's main "health" pool.^{[CfgVh 86]}^{[CfgVh 87]}^{[CfgVh 88]}^{[CfgVh 89]}

Note that it is still possible to continue driving even after all four tyres have been burst. However, this will only be possible on flat and paved surfaces. Driving off-road or climbing uphill may be outright impossible depending on the terrain type.
