in the same way submarines ejected oil and garbage to fool a depth charging surface boar, maybe the pilot sprayed some can of tomato juice on his cockpit glass

i'd prefer to have "gore", but can understand it might be a moral/ethical issue not to have it included for minors (and affecting game rating)

Maddox Games has to take into consideration that some countries are squeamish regarding gore in PC games (Germany is unfortunately one of the most squeamish ones ). That means gore could very likely lead to a detrimental age rating which would not only hamper marketing efforts but also sales. For example games with severe gore effects end up on an index list in Germany which means you can't do any kind of public ads for them, they can't be placed on the shelves and have to be sold "under the counter" (so to speak).

It may be some variant of a Morris C8, though the headlights look too high

If its supposed to be any type of Morris its modelled way to heavy around the wheels.

But the front looks in the same style and the canvas field awning on the side is a clue methinks



Here's a collection of Morris vehicles, an exceptional site with huge images.

When it doesn't look like that Morris then I would say it isn't one?

MG knows very well how to model trucks.

In Il-2 this line doesn't work in the unmodified international version. The mere ability to enable such gore effects causes that "indexing" in Germany so BlueByte ordered Maddox Games to switch that line off in the international version and Ubisoft never changed that. And given that in my opinion that political correctness thing has grown a lot worse than ten years ago it's highly improbable that Oleg will do such a thing.

IIRC
It was because the rating was originally for 11+ years old.

Perhaps raising the rating will please the gore crowd.
