Snowrunner: Top 5 worst vehicles and why

[@6rimR3ap3r]

I wish there was a map where highway trucks would be relevant. Long freeway stretch on asphalt where you could then exchange trailers to an offroad truck to go further.

[@thibautmerlin2376]

I believe that's the case for Alaska maps, at least for the 3 first maps (I didn't visit the last one yet)

[@TheSaneOsiris]

@@thibautmerlin2376 I've had a blast with my friend in co-op on Alaska. He would go off-road to bring me cargo while I waited on roads with the Transtar.

[@BREZH1]

highways are absolutely useless

[@Jarsia]

I wish there were a paving mechanic where you can pay to permanently change a roads status maybe in 25m stretches at a time. To balance the cost there should be a system of random contracts where you have 25 or so named locations per map each of which has a list of materials that can be sent or received for contracts. Each cargo item has a delivery value multiplied by distance. Infinite random contracts. You could get dump truck attachments or trailers that you could use to pick up aggregates and spread them on muddy sections then go over with a steamroller to make them more solid gravel roads. Multiple loads may be needed for really bad sections. You could also buy logs to lay down as a quick, dirty, cheap fix like the log sections in some maps. Wooden planks would be a bit more expensive but give better ride quality, but they'd have hit points and take damage if you drive over them in heavier trucks, eventually breaking and reverting to the former road status. Wooden bridges would also collapse under heavier trucks. You could also use concrete slabs to do a quick fix like the section outside the drowned lands garage, but they're somewhat expensive. Metal would be the most expensive and would take the form of metal grates like you see when they do road work, and would be indestructible, but could not be curved, so don't give an even ride on slopes. Finally 2 options to properly pave roads and finally get use of highway trucks and tires. First is concrete, which requires you get a concrete mixer and deliver wood planks for forms. It would be moderately expensive. For asphalt you also need to lay down gravel and use a grading machine & roller to level off the gravel before hand. Then you need to spread down the asphalt and go over it with a roller. The materials will be fairly cheap, but you need to buy all the equipment first and it's labor intensive as you have to do the paving manually, where as laying down concrete slabs or metal/wood just requires getting the stuff to the section of road. Concrete or asphalt paved roads give the smoothest ride quality though. You could also get one of those asphalt scraper things that rip up the top surface and lay down new asphalt on top so you can drive at top speed without constantly taking damage. Concrete slabs could be laid down under deeper water and logs under shallow water, otherwise a wood or steel bridge has to be built of sections of road under water. It would be awesome to be able to slowly transform the maps from muddy wastelands to maps you could easily traverse in any vehicle on perfectly paved roads. It should take time and effort to pull that off though.

[@chrishuyler3580]

I just finished all Michigan contracts using only free trucks, free upgrades, and purchasing two sets of tires. I wouldn't want to go back and not upgrade the vehicles though...it would just turn into using the P16 the whole time when the rest of the trucks are only fitted with highway tires.

The Derry Longhorn has been improved since this video. It still has a poor turn radius, but that unpowered axel that used to get stuck on everything can now be raised or lowered to suit the situation, and it now has diff lock always on. I actually enjoy using it for certain tasks, though it's still not the best. It's much better than it was.

You know what would be a great add-on for this game? Plows! Plows to clear a road through the snow, but also to push boulders aside and clear the way.

[@beezyj3227]

The fucking rocks in this game, jesus. Not talking about the offroad portions, talking about on the paved roads, like where you "clear" the area of a fallen power line tower, but then the boulders and loose rocks remain, and you get stuck on a PAVED road cuz a tiny rock is stuck under your front axle and you can't move. So fucking annoying and unrealistic. And the most annoying thing in the entire game, TREE STUMPS! Most of them are hidden and so small yet will get stuck underneath your truck making you float and no matter how much winch tugging crane lifting you do that thing is glued to it. And they're always in the worst spots. Looks like you can take a shortcut out of a logging area, area looks like an open field with some low brush. Try to leave, front axle magically rests on a hidden tree stump, spend 2 hours trying to get off of it.

What I think makes the LO4F worse is that the van is empty but you stack any extra weight on the roof... if that could be transferred to internal, it would lower centre of gravity to give it more of an edge against the easier to topple big tire boys

[@brettcarlow5779]

AZOV 73210 actually got me though a lot of the game. It has incredible pull/grip/torque and can haul loads and fit high cargo easily due to it being low and wide. If you're not doing too much offroading, or at least, steep offroading that thing will go anywhere else. With chain tyres it will pull special trailers all over Alaska and connect all the Russian maps. Otherwise unless it is very steep you will eventually climb anything after digging your way out with it being so low. Not the best choice but I don't think it deserves to be on the "worst" list.

Gotta disagree on the Lo4f. It is very agile and small, so it can avoid most of those swampy bits. It kinda floats on mud as long as you never, ever stop, and usually you drive alongside the road. I've used it as a support and rescue all over Russia. It has much higher fuel and repair than the other small Russian scouts, can squeeze into and through anything, and can actually be driven straight on roads where the Don 71 is undrivable. You can't drive it the same way but if you make use of the skills it has, it is much more useful and fun than almost any other scout. It's even less likely to tip over than the Scout 800, which I love and used to scout most of Michigan (with the loadstar). If you're comparing based on pure test data, you only get a partial picture.

They're fine for quick deliveries on mostly paved roads. With AT tires most wont shy away from a little dirt but are best kept out of mud. Thats why my order of operations in any new region is to scout the map and use the more capable rigs for the road repair tasks before making deliveries in my Zikz, which i use as a Highway rig with AWD and available Difflock.

8:29, That's most of 6 wheel truck's situation, some even can't attach trailer when both crane and sideboard installed. That's why F2070A still have its place in my fleet, it can still tow trailer and make turn properly when both crane and sideboard installed.. May be you can make a test video about crane+sideboard bed+sideboard trailer combo. Maybe I am wrong, but I guess F2070A might be the only one that is truly capable of this combo. If so, it deserve a top list.

[@4dv3r54ry]

Azov 73210 is also truly capable of the crane+bed+trailer combo and while you get better traction than with Fleetstar, you'll get far worse ground clearance and low hanging bumper. Another truck capable of the crane+bed+trailer combo is Paystar. Though, it's long frame gives some turning issues with e.g fuel trailer or sideboard trailer but flatbed trailer works perfectly fine. Edit: Freightliner 114SD is also capable of the crane+bed+trailer combo without any turning clearance issues regardless the trailer.

[@jochenkraus7016]

I also like the Azov with the 5 axles. The low front clearance is an issue, sometimes I had to pull it over steps with the winch but as far as I remember it has permanent AWD and difflock and the steering last axle makes it quite capable for tight turns. Imo they should give you the option of a three spot flat bed without crane or two spots plus the crane. It looks like plenty of wasted space. And a bigger crane than the other vehicles, given it's a crane chassis ;-)

[@pqhkr2002]

Never have dead axle on an offroad vehicle. I once saw a video in KZbin, it's a Mercedes Benz Actros tipper truck, 10x8, got high centered by the dead axle right in the middle.

[@movinmetal2596]

knowin pear It’s job IRL was a tank transporter for M60 Pattons. The M747 trailer and an M60A3 have a combined weight of 144000 pounds!! I would say that axle was pretty essential. It would be nice if we could lift it in-game, but since the 3194’s primary role is heavy hauling, I am fine with it being locked down.

[@vladvulcan]

I think without it the 3194 could still stuck on its bottom due to big distance between front and rear axles. I also think it requires pedal to the metal driving style in order to not getting stuck on this axle, but to blast through obstacles fast without getting the lower parts damaged

[@xdxd4081]

I wish you can lift the DL 3194's dead axle and it will receive better perfromance on offroad but still wouldn't be good enough.

The Derry Longhorn has Diff Lock after the last Update

[@francoisdubord4204]

Its a good truck now.

[@MattiAntsuK]

My Top 5 worst: 5. Derry Longhorn, same as in the video (Cause of the looks, its my 5th) 4. Azov, same as in the video (5-axle). 3. International Scout, with the frame addon it becomes super topheavy. And the steering angle just doesn't help. 2. Belive it or not, my 2nd is the 8x8 tank. Climbing on like 20° hills it likes to wheelie, basically making it understeer (not steer). 1. Caterpillar (Dumper), if bottomed out or high centered. It refuses to steer at all. Doesn't even need to be high centered for it to happen, driving on uneven roads it just loves to steer on its own. Not an expert here, but I do know that Framesteered vehicles DONT tend to turn on their own...

[@xdxd4081]

What the hell is the big deal? Theres no need to change that bumper, that bumper of the kolob is the fascia and radiator for the engine, the bumper of the azov is just important. Well except the only reason why it needs to be changed because it is very low

The azov 73210 is actually one of my favorits, of course its pretty low but what would be the challange if it wasnt? It would be OP, especially looking at the fuel consumtion on that thing. Also if modders give it nothing more than a raised suspention it would be the best truck in the game

[@Renault_75-34MX]

This is out dated for the most part, the AZOV 73210 and Kolob have better collisions now, and are quite useful on Lake Kovd, and the Derry 3194 is one of the trucks benefiting from the 7.0 Imandra update with it getting permanent AWD and Diff lock, as well as STOCK active suspension for the load bearing axle, meaning that it won't high centre as easily as before, while having grater traction from the diff

I think the AZOV 73210 makes an excellent crane truck because it's just the right size, not too small to handle the force of the crane when I'm fighting another truck out of a bad spot with the crane and its still not to big to get into tight places. If I need to climb something I just do it backwards, the truck is rear steer and if I need to get a crane in I'm usually backing the truck in anyway to get the most mobility out of my crane.

I have used the 73210. IF you can find ways to work around the front overhang, it is a very capable truck. Winches also help, as do 10 AWD wheels. Everyone has their own ideas of what does and does not work, and one can always find ways to make the worst vehicles work for them.

Even the tayga could only use Low+ in the muddy Drowned Lands but the 73210 went through most of the mud in Auto. The 73210 also has incredible power which made hauling a sideboard semi fast & easy in the Drowned Lands. But perhaps most of all, I loved the stability & the turning circle of the 73210.
