I agree with your assessment of this truck. It isn't the best at any one thing (though it's very close on fuel economy) but it's good enough at everything to be a very capable machine. Power is fine even without the top engine from Amur. It handles mud and snow pretty well except for the super deep stuff where it will need help. The combination of addons lets you customize it to fit your preferred playstyle or adapt it for many different tasks. Fuel economy is top tier and then it also gets a roof rack to extend endurance even more. Having access to the Special and Advanced Special gearboxes is the key for this since they have 0% AWD fuel burn penalty so you don't even have to worry about it. Just turn on AWD and drive away. Overall driving it is just a very nice experience. It's kind of like a weighted blanket
Recently got into the game and have found your guides and videos extremely helpful and is making my start up much easier. Also personally I have had great luck with the kenworth w990 with big mud wheels and a raised suspension. It goes though quite a bit for only being perma diff locked with no awd and I use it for hauling general cargo and trailers a lot
Azov trucks are so fun to use. I just got season 10 because of your video so I'm just about to get the kenworth ggs. But the year pass are cheaper individually or together as a pack
Depends on the discounts. Usually they are cheaper but imagine that every single one is 40% off but the year 3 is not discounted. Then just sum up the numbers and see if it is cheaper. If you buy with no discounts then the year one is much cheaper
there isn't a big difference between the unique azov atom tires and normal mud tires. so go for what you like more and JAT tires are for better stability.
Been loving this truck so far. I would say it's best suited to being a support truck with the maintenance add on, great fuel economy and 8x8 traction. I even pulled the CAT 745C up the Ice road hill in Immandra with it last night! The three slot limit can be a bit awkward as a hauler, as so many items are two slot you find yourself running half empty and making two trips just like you would have in a smaller more nimble truck.
Azov 64, Azov arctic, or every trucks heavy & with diff lock on, like Derry special, Tatra force, heavy weight good for grip...but need a powerful engine to move that weight good 😉
