The German army used a lot more horses for transport than trucks. I think also the Russians, though they had lots of American built trucks as well.
Jane's WWII Fighters had horse drawn wagons and running deer- I always got a kick out of seeing a deer flush and run by as I was strafing.

Well, I know the Russian peasants had many cows, goats and the such...

And I know the French farmers, even though they were occupied by the Germans, still carried on and had cows, goats and the such...


And I am pretty sure horses are animals:

Flying very low and suddenly passing over a field full of livestock would be very immersive indeed. 8)

I completely forgot that there were horse and carts used by the military for supplies. Seeing these must have been a daily occurance for the jabos!

The suggestion for stationary objects to simulate commonly seen livestock and other animals is a worthwhile and mature suggestion. Lets try to discuss it in a grown up manner eh?

well, since this is an flying simulation then sorry but i'm more interested in birds then in horses and dogs ....

we have bicycles as object , and you may spot it eventually only if taxing near it .... or running from burning plane . Same way with horses IMHO

I'm with Bee here. Top idea, definitely worth serious discussion.
This and footsoldiers are the two things that really kill the atmosphere in IL2. I mean for one "troop concentrations" were a routine ground attack target and of course one of opportunity for any low flying combat aircraft.
Civilian transport columns definitely consist primarily of pack animals, whilst most armies used a majority pack animals with motorised columns only towards the front lines (for obvious reasons).
Then there is the livestock consideration, as Bee mentioned.

I mean if it is indeed possible, it's definitely worth thinking about.

I would love such a mod too...Horse, cow, sheep and camel Big Grin
If you could have a "column" of cows start running randomly when you pass over them just like the soldiers which jump and run away from trucks...but the infantry mod would be nice to have first...
