SnowRunner Derry Longhorn 3194 New Liftable Axle Gameplay And Review

store.playstat...

[@justinlynch3]

I've been using this truck a nice bit since the update, certainly way better now. I'm still convinced the dead axle at least has partial clipping action on the go when it's lifted, maybe the steel rim can still get caught while the rubber tire can sometimes just clip out of the way. Either way they've reduced quite a lot how annoying that middle axle was. Personally I think your right, this truck works well with a Offroad gearbox. It doesn't quite have the brute power at the top end to hold high gear very well. This truck is quite content to just stick into Low+ and use it's it's low end torque to chug along. With the updates this Derry kinda falls in line with the F-750 for me now, it's one of those trucks now that while slow, just feeels nice. One of those trucks that just feels real, so to say. It's a truck that feels like it actually has weight to it, it doesn't feel like it has cartoony arcade truck physics like say the Tayga that tends to slip and slide all over the road at high speed. This Derry and the F-750, they feel like proper simulation trucks, which is the type of vehicles this game really should have being it's a offroad simulation game. Maybe they should go back and add more weight to a lot of the highway, heavy duty, and offroad class of trucks? I wonder if the reason that these trucks always get so sliding and annoying at high speed is simply because they are just to light and should be heavier? But yea I've been having fun with the Derry since the updates, been using it as my Saddle Low truck.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Justin Lynch yeah it’s much better with the lifted axle, it was so annoying before! And yeah an off-road box on this would make sense, as and when I use the truck for missions I may do that myself as it takes a while to build up the speed and doesn’t matter really when off roading Yeah I know what you mean, it does feel pretty realistic now, I’m not sure why some of the trucks slide around on the roads like they do but I reckon adding weight would probably help, some trucks in the game do behave like they’re a lot lighter than they would be in real life 👍🏻

[@justinlynch3]

@@itsmrlonewolf Huh, that's interesting. So apparently the GMC MH9500 and Voron Grad can still have the big tires even with lowered suspension. I'm gonna try running lower suspension on my trucks for a bit. I'm making a exception for the White Western and Fleetstar as they both sit to low with stock suspension. So far I think the Twin-Steer has a pretty noticeable difference. Having her lowered and with dual 55's on the rear, and she actually feels a lot more stable. I think the Twin-Steer might actually be one truck that's hurt from lifted suspension and 63' rear singles. I never liked how the 63's looked like they had a narrow stance, when looking closely they even look like they sit more inward then the front tires. The dual 55's seem to give her a wider stance. And the Twin-Steer is suck a big truck regardless I kind question if it even needs a lift. The lift might actually jack her up to high, adding to her being unstable. The 55's does give the Twin-Steer a narrower front stance, but from what I can tell it seems like it doesn't matter. For some reason this truck acts like all her stability is in the back. Give her dual rears she feels more resistant to rolling, give her single rears and she feels more prone to rolls. Strange as you would think all this trucks weight should be in the front. Yet she acts like the weight is all in the back. That's what I'm finding anyway.

[@floydthedroid5935]

The ford f truck steering is really nice. Combined with a well articulating front end and a stiff rear, it’s a delight, just so different too. Definitely my fave right now.

[@floydthedroid5935]

@@justinlynch3 my thoughts are similar on lifts, you always seem to lose stability. I prefer to be lower and take more hits. The gmc 9500 is very stable on low suspension with 47 tyres...

[@jmur3040]

I'm tempted to try a fresh save with all these trucks getting updates. Say goodbye to another couple hundred hours...

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Lol I’ve considered it myself, good luck with it dude 👍🏻

[@floydthedroid5935]

So worth it

[@texasflysuperstar]

Surface area is the description you were looking for when you described the dual wheel rear axles

[@46wireboy]

Contact patch.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

It was ground pressure I was thinking of lol but yeah they’re all the same kind of thing I was trying to explain lol 👍🏻

[@jimclements3190]

You have a good understanding of vehicle dynamics which makes your vids very watchable 👍👍

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Lol thanks man I try to explain the feel of the trucks the best I can, glad it’s not just nonsensical rambling lol 👍🏻! Glad you enjoyed the video

[@ghostdiv7sion194]

I like that they buffed a few of the American vehicles in this update.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Possibly, I’ve not really been paying attention that close lol but I’ll have to keep an eye out if any feel different! They could do with a little boost so it would be good 👍🏻

[@sweettooth7124]

45-20 needs another 100ftlbs of torque and the same in horse power. It just bogs down to easily.

[@finalTarget11]

Glad to see you do full reviews on trucks that get major updates done to them and give them a second chance.👍As underpowered as the 4520 is, I still like it better than the 3194 even after the upgrades to it, though I won't deny it's a much more capable truck now.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah it deserved another look as that axle was my main problem with it before! I wish that Derry 4520 had more power, it’s not too bad on it’s own but when towing stuff it struggles I find! Hopefully they do give it a bigger engine or something? This Derry is definitely better now 👍🏻

[@huskofdadbod]

Derry longhorn is a professional it took a dolphin to the head and took no damage

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Haha yeah it did pretty well there 👍🏻 not sure if it was already pretty damaged but either way it took it like a professional lol

[@arcticraider1805]

Yeah, it's much better now. Bought it back and used it for some of the new Michigan missions.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah it’s nicer to drive now 👍🏻

[@jjwillbombson2223]

At 15:15 you can see the ‘dead’ axel spinning by it self so it might be powered now

[@juanca2807]

No, it is still declared as a fake axle inside the truck XML file, besides it lacks a transfer box, the devs would have added one to the truck model.

[@jjwillbombson2223]

Juan Ca oh right that’s cool I just thought it was interesting that the axel was turning by itself at that time

[@justinlynch3]

@@jjwillbombson2223 Since the wheels are lifted now that they just free spin in the air in they brush against anything until the momentum leaves them, like a real life wheel would.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah that’s just where it’s been catching the terrain and spinning but it’ll eventually stop! It’s just a free moving axle that i assume has no brakes either lol 👍🏻

[@pipedreamin]

I haven’t sold mine for the same reason as you. I really wanted to like this truck, wrestled it on several missions but both it and the other Derry are just disappointing. This truck makes some glorious noises though, seems like the air brake squeaking, shift pneumatics and such are a little louder on this truck than others.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah I’m glad I hung on to it, I won’t be using it loads but it’s still a better truck with that axle mostly out the way, it’s pretty fun to use 👍🏻! It does make some good noises I have to say!

[@the_omg3242]

The other Derry is awesome. The steerable rear wheels make it turn sharper than anything else in the game. Makes moving long trailers much easier since you can start your turn later which means your trailer wheels don't cut the corner as much.

[@arschkopp]

It's a good thing that not every truck in this game is equally useful or capable, but this thing was painfully unplayable. great review as always :)

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah it’s nice to have a range of abilities, but this thing was a bit too much with that axle so it’s a good change and it’s a better truck now 👍🏻

[@jmur3040]

Also, regarding the dead axle. It's more about weight distribution on roadways to reduce damage to the pavement and bridges. Same reason some heavy low boy trailers have a whole ridiculous dolly system hanging off the back of them.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Ahhh fair enough lol that makes sense 👍🏻!

[@jaihmate4236]

Be interested to see you revisit the freight liner m916a1 with fixed steering! Might be good on that airplane mission because it’s so short

[@ccf500]

It’s still tippy. And also the trailer catches on the back winch box thing.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Jaih Blythe yeah I’m going to try that truck soon and most likely make a video on it 👍🏻

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Thing Boy yeah it seems to have been given a lot of limiters like it burns fuel quick too! There is a potentially nice truck in there but it’s been hit with a lot of bad qualities too

[@ccf500]

It’s Mr Lone Wolf I think I might be cheap tho. And it’s good in mud for what it is. If it had it high range I would be all over it but sad offroad thing exists. I wish it had the option for another “special transmission” that had 10 gears but dosnt have a low. That would be the best transmission for messing around and would be really cool to unlock at level 30

[@jaihmate4236]

That box on the back should be given repair points to make use of it, then there would be reason for it and then maybe have the option to remove it and add a crane instead plus saddle

[@e.j.jackson2423]

As always another good video. Used this on the plane mission and it worked great.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Thanks man I’m glad you enjoyed the vid 👍🏻! Oh did it, that’s good to know, I’ll have to try it out on a mission as I’ve not really used it much so far

[@timmygun795]

Very good. This was the first thing I looked at with the update. Served me well in Imandra.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah it’s a nice improvement for the truck, was a pain before with it always getting in the way 👍🏻

[@larryklages5242]

President, glad you showed this cuz im pretty sure they didn't say anything about it in the patch notes. But I could be wrong, anyways thanks for the info 🐺. Wonder if there's any situation were using the "dead axel" would help? 🐺 gang 🍞 squad 🐬 club 🐟 troop 🐴 of a vehicle GOD DAMN Professional 🎩

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah I wanted to give it another chance as that axle was my main complaint last time, and to be fair it does help! It’s no loaf lol but it’s more usable now 👍🏻! I’m not sure to be honest, for me I reckon I’ll just keep it lifted and out the way 👍🏻🍞🐎🎩🐺🐬

[@Renault_75-34MX]

I think that the update made this truck relevant and toke the cash injection role away

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah I agree it’s worth keeping or buying back now 👍🏻! I think it was a money token to a lot of people before

[@floydthedroid5935]

This is a classic machine, it’s great they brought in the axle lift to pick it up.

[@floydthedroid5935]

The term you’re looking for is ground pressure. And it’s not floor mate. It’s the ground. Awesome upload as always!

[@sphyrnazygaena2690]

Hey, I just wanted to see this review, cause I kid you not, I few days ago wanted to revisit this truck for the new michigan contracts! I´m skipping your Imandra videos so far (sorry!) in order to avoid spoilers, but I´m here I am! hehe. I got the bulk of my fleet (azovs, the tayga king, voron grand, nosey kolob, 750, loadstar & Yar) in route to imandra now, so I went to michigan with the WWS, the Acteon and finally bought Bruce as reinforcement. Thing is, Bruce seems to be a multipurpose for me, so I though to buy another for assisting the WWS with the semi trailers, and the Derrys seem to be cut for it (if reworked by the devs). Lets see...

[@sphyrnazygaena2690]

PS: I let the cat 680 go in Russia due to its, "german sheppard " back suspension issue, if that is fixed in the future, the Derrys will not have a chance to be on my fleet. And the WWS would take some hollidays. PPS: Semitrailer trucks in mi opinion depend more on the place the saddle low is located, than the actual turning radius. The closest is to the end of the chasis, the less chances to touch the semi when turning or when climbing up & down. Thats why I used the WWS and Cat680 the most withe semi, they have perferct placement for low saddle

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Lol it’s all good dude I get it, I don’t watch any vids before I get the map too 👍🏻! Yeah this truck is worth giving another go now as it helps a lot with the axle out the way! Bruce is an awesome truck and I’m going to buy another too when I’ve got the money as it’s really good for towing stuff and all sorts 👍🏻

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Sphyrna Zygaena yeah I’m not sure if they’ll ever fix that rear suspension on the cat but who knows? It’s still a decent truck but that can catch you out! I know what you mean with the saddle low too, it’s too far forward on some trucks

[@Rumblestrip]

Its a night and day difference for sure though. Its become one of my favorite trucks to just brute force thru stuff. Even though it stalls in high from time to time. I mean yea its still a little gimped at times, but i know i can still get around almost everywhere with it. This things my go-to for the mission specific trailers for me now. Lol Ive found it to be really good at flying across maps with semi trailers... I mean im with ya if ya gotta off road a ton, but if its not a bunch of humps and rocks in the way ive been trying to use this... Imandra being the exception... I got fed up and used a mod truck after the bomber. On breakable ice in kovd ive found the pusher to be a little helpful, not massively though

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah overall it’s helped this truck a lot! Before, that axle was just a massive handicap and ruined it really, but now you can actually feel the character of the truck and it’s pretty decent 👍🏻! I’ve not gave it much of a go yet other than the review and messing around, but I’ll try some missions soon as it seems pretty good now Yeah it picks up speed well and is good for hauling stuff, hopefully now they just add a bigger engine to the 4520 so both Derry’s are worth having lol

[@redstoneactivator3389]

LOVE THIS TRUCK!!

[@ccf500]

I use it to go and fetch trailers because it’s pretty quick and capable.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

It’s pretty fun now it can handle the terrain better 👍🏻

[@ccf500]

It’s Mr Lone Wolf the main reason I like active is because when you are beached and have no winch points you can jiggle around and possibly get unstuck.

[@boss9mustang404]

The only real reason i like this truck is its horn and its squeaky brakes and sounds

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Lol true it’s got some good truck noises! I like flying it off the cliff too lol

[@brandonplaisted8194]

@@itsmrlonewolf usually all old school trucks have those quirks that everyone likes. Compared to modern day rigs. That phased out a lotta the old stuff that made trucks trucks.

[@timmygun795]

Haha I heard you mention the poor old DL 4520. Very rarely use that for anything off road, what a shame. The lowest power to weight value in the whole game. Ouch.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Lol yeah that truck sucks the way it is! It can barely handle off roading and is slow too most of the time! It needs that twinsteer engine in it or something 👍🏻

[@vladvulcan]

it needs a 10 000 points weight reduction. Why the heck it is heavier than the Cat 745C?

[@winfriedbauer2280]

Surely at 7:00 using the drop down wheels would have been why it has those drop down wheels?

[@winfriedbauer2280]

Looking forward to playing around with it tonight, and trying to work out how to use it best... there must be a good purpose for it!

[@winfriedbauer2280]

Great content as always...

[@itsmrlonewolf]

I’m not sure it would help much going over barriers and once the fuel tank is over then having that axle lowered would get in the way more, it may help in the odd situation but overall it’s best out the way I reckon lol 👍🏻

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Thanks man 👍🏻

[@winfriedbauer2280]

@@itsmrlonewolf Yeah, you're right! I tried lastnight... After an hour or two of playing, I seem to have come to the conclusion that its function is to make the ride smoother over uneven roads... Obviously when it gets too bumpy you need to lift them, but for general uneven surfaces, the ride is smoother... Unfortunately also found that having them down decreases the turning radius, ontop of its already bad turning circle... But stable as a motherfucker!!

[@storm_of_iron]

This and the other Derry were two trucks that I really, really wanted to be good. The 3194 was such a letdown in any sort of practical application previous to this patch, but damn did it look so rad. The 4520 was fun as hell to drive around, until you really started to try and work it, then it just sorta fell on it's face. Here's to hoping that one gets the F750 treatment and a better power plant shoe horned in the engine bay.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah same here but they both fell short really! This axle thing certainly does help make it a fairly decent truck now 👍🏻! I hope they add a better engine or something to the 4520? As for the F750 they have added an engine for it on the imandra map and it does help it a lot compared to what it was like 👍🏻

[@mandyeales4286]

they should ad a remove axle upgrade

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah I agree I’d rather that too 👍🏻 but this is better than nothing for now lol

[@ccf500]

Will you do another video like this one on the freightliner m9? The steering is fixed.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah I’m going to try that truck soon and I reckon I’ll do an updated review 👍🏻

[@sweettooth7124]

Please do. The steering is faster now. The truck does alot better.

[@kyboy5]

I've used every truck in the game and I think the dan is good for hauling heavy trailers

The back of the frame hits some low saddle trailers. It's tough to use with the goosneck semi trailer.

[@aggrocanthosaurus9368]

Oh wow a 40 min video must've really improved it ( I'm still waiting to install the update its actual torture) also the 4520 is ridiculous it's like twice as heavy as the second heaviest vehicle that uses the same engine

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah I basically did another review of it now that axle is out the way, and it’s not too bad now 👍🏻! Hope you get the update sorted soon dude! Yeah I don’t know why they’ve made it so gutless for it’s size and weight, I hope they sort it soon

[@jeeprider2612]

i fell in love with this truck the time i saw it, but i disappointed with its bad performance.

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Yeah I wanted to like it but that axle was a pain, it’s definitely better now it’s raised out the way 👍🏻

[@wildpugwp5828]

Sup

[@itsmrlonewolf]

👍🏻

[@iseeu721]

Personally I like the shallow steering for the superlong trailers/trailer trains. Almost like a passive limiter so you don't undercut a corner and get the trailers(s) stuck. And as for use of the middling axel, I find it helps keep heavy loads tall rather than dropping your suspension down, and really does do a good number on keeping you rolling in the direction you want to go on less than ideal but not completely wrecked roads.

[@jessaphillips2846]

I heard a rumor that Oshkosh refused to let Saber license their trucks and in retaliation they made the two Derry Longhorn trucks crap intentionally

[@timfaas2032]

I loved the way this truck looked, but that dead axel always made so much off a problem on the littlest bumps. And it whas annoying as fuck, now i cant wait to use it again!

[@micahreichard1788]

Sorry but, the real question you should be asking is... when should you use the dead axle? ( cricket sounds ). Now I understand why it’s there in real life. Maybe it would help on the breakable ice!?

[@itsmrlonewolf]

Lol personally I’ll just permanently leave it up and out the way! I’m not sure it would help on the ice too much as the fronts seem to break through very quickly, but also trying to climb back out, I reckon that axle would hit the edge and just stop you from being able to drive up and out
