Gawd... here we go again
The Universal Carriers were manufactured by Ford of Canada (primarily). Depending on sources, something over 3,000 were shipped, both by sea (the Arctic convoys) and by land (via Iran). Of those, something like 2,600-2,700 made it to the front lines.
As for paint jobs - they were shipped in "standard" colour schemes, which by later war included the "white star" for recognition, which was used by all the Western Allies. Sometimes the Soviets repainted, sometimes they didn't. As has been pointed out elsewhere, many of the Lend Lease vehicles got to the front line with "USA" still painted down the side...

Why all this disrespect for the devs hard work all the time? I mean when this was a mod you all loved the devs but now that it's a game your all back to whinen and screaming about any infraction of what "YOU" think the game should be like and that means anything like even the paint schemes you see ingame.
Get a life you nuts and stop brow beating the devs with crap that they don't need to here like this:
OMG! A WHITE STAR! GET RID OF IT BECAUSE I SAID SO!
Agian what happened to the BF community is happening here to. The forum trolls are here to ruin it for those that like the game and play it not just whine about pointles crap.

Look the vehicle is lend-lease. Russia DID make their own but those ones are not represented in-game.
The russians didnt bother to repaint them as there was no need. They were white washed though (easily wiped clean again)
BUT imo, the devs should not have modelled an american lend-lease, it should have been commonwealth!

hehe, another thread where people seem to go crazy about the colour of a star at some rear of some vehicle......... reminds of the discussion about a hexaquadrofiction receiver, where some pixels didnt seem to be in right place. Go ahead, this has the potential to be even more fun

That is Alan, the teams historian telling you what was done. The Canadians might have repainted once they got to Normandy, but I don't think there were many Canadians in Russia to do the same.

LoL yes karazeee!!
If all of these were made in Canada with stars on by default, then the devs are 100% spot on!

i heard yanks themselves draw red stars instead of white ones on their aircobras
i wonder if russians should have their own marking on their tanks, transports and etc
p.s. its trivial but m3 would look better, they were in use even in late soviet movies acting as german halftracks

The standard paint job out of the Ford Canada factory was for the standard "allied" issue - which included serial numbers and an effing white star, on the Commonwealth version of "olive drab" base colour by about 1943. Yes, it is a COMMONWEALTH vehicle. None were built in Russia.LoL yes karazeee!!
