I’d like to ask why artillery guns are always shown without a gun crew, whereas recoilless weapons have one?

I guess because Panzer Corps had uncrewed units from the start. Recoillles guns were operated either on the shoulder or a tripod for some of the heavier models, so i have those units a crew..
In the meantime, with the exception of the infantry units, the equipment file is finished.

As for the gun crews, I see you decided not to stray from the original game's conventions. Everything else looks great—and yes, you'll have to create a lot of infantry, since the UN forces alone included troops from over 15 different countries!

Americans and their allies under the UN flag in Korea. 1950.

Under the auspices of the UN, regular military contingents from 16 countries fought on the side of South Korea in the Korean War (1950–1953), the primary ones being the United States, Great Britain, and Canada.

The equipment file will have 48 infantry units (at least for now).

Important to know:

# Specialist inclusion is historical rather than universal:
# - Airborne infantry: United States 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team.
# - Combat/bridge engineers: main nations with identifiable engineer formations or detachments.
# - Portable flamethrower infantry: US Army and US Marine Corps only.
# - No mountain-infantry were added; no dedicated mountain formation was identified among the Korean-theatre contingents represented here.
#
# Deliberate exclusions:
# - New Zealand supplied artillery rather than an infantry battalion.
# - South Africa supplied an air-force squadron rather than infantry.
# - Denmark, Germany, India, Italy, Norway and Sweden supplied medical support.
# - Soviet participation was principally covert aviation/advisory support, not a field infantry contingent.

If something is amiss, let me know.

When the equipment file is finished, i will post it here.

Great, Niko—just don't forget to add that the Turkish Brigade (known as "North Star") was a Turkish Army infantry unit numbering approximately 5,400 personnel; it participated in the Korean War (1950–1953) as part of the UN forces and was operationally attached to the U.S. Army's 25th Infantry Division.

And where are the South Korean cavalry and horse-drawn transport?

This equipment saw limited use in the armies of both Korean republics during their formative stages and at the beginning of the Korean War (1950–1953), comprising small arms, artillery, and a few examples of armored vehicles left behind following Japan's surrender in 1945.

It is known that Chinese and North Korean units fighting against UN forces made extensive use of captured German small arms and artillery systems. In the early 1950s, the USSR transferred a large batch of German 5 cm Pak 38 anti-tank guns to China.

Soviet IS-2 tanks were exported to China in the early 1950s and saw service during the Korean War (1950–1953). According to US intelligence, at least four Chinese tank companies deployed in Korea were equipped with IS-2 tanks, with five tanks per company. However, I have not come across any combat reports regarding these vehicles. Units of the PLA 1st Tank Division were deployed [1]:

1st Tank Regiment
2nd Tank Regiment
3rd Tank Regiment
6th Independent Tank Regiment.

While continuing my research into the armored vehicles used in the Korean War, I stumbled upon this photo: an SU-100 in a South Korean museum! I recall that the drunkard Yeltsin once transferred T-80U tanks to South Korea to settle debts, but this is a different case.
https://tankist-31.livejournal.com/184421.html
So, this type of weaponry was in the arsenal of the North Koreans or Chinese volunteers. That means more than one SU-76 took part.

Here is the raw version of the equipment file for the Korean War. It currently has 275 active entries. If you believe there is an important - historical - unit missing, let me know. Some columns still need to be filled in/corrected; so disregard for now.

Excellent! I will continue my search, as I find it surprising that the Soviet Union gave Kim Il-sung only the T-34-85 medium tank.

I’ve already found and shared information about the Chinese volunteers' IS-2s and the SU-100—let's see what happens next.

I was just thinking about this: since all North Korean leaders have loved—and still love—to travel to neighboring countries on their armored trains, did they take part in the civil war, even if only as a mobile command post? ))


Image

The first personal armored train was a gift to Kim Il-sung, the founder of North Korea, from Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, who had himself once traveled on Trotsky’s armored train. The train was then passed on to the leader’s son, Kim Jong-il, and from him to his grandson, Kim Jong-un. Although the basic structure remained the same, the North Korean leaders’ train has been modernized several times (rumored to have been done in Japan).

Korea relied heavily on railways, and both sides used trains extensively for troops, supplies, evacuation and heavy equipment. The UN side even deployed dedicated US Army railway battalions to operate the South Korean network.
However, I have not found solid evidence that either the KPA/PVA or UN forces fielded a true combat armored train comparable to Soviet, Polish or German WWII examples.
.
Anyway, suggestions have always been welcome.
So for Bond a few trains.

Thanks, Niko, for the information and the armored trains; they will come in handy in battles and for controlling logistics on the railways.
