Snow mechanics are so strange. Often there is a push and pull in games between realism and fun, but with snow, so often this game cripples vehicles in an unfun way that is also ridiculously unrealistic. I don't understand their vision for this.
Yeah my favorite truck in the game the YAR I got rid of to download the delta pickup. It just doesn’t make sense at all how much snow slows down certain vehicles. I’d be happier with obstacles that don’t make it take an hour to cross over to another road. Mud that deep would make sense, a map where it’s obviously below zero, it doesn’t make sense.
@@TheFishRDrowning the yar is pathetic. You would think with it being 6x6 with diffs locked and big mud balloon tires it would be great but in practice, a couple inches of mud or snow absolutely cripples it.
I was on my buddy's playthrough in this, he was in the Fleetstar and we were doing some mountain climbing (he's a daring guy). We both flipped our trucks and I couldn't reach anything with my autonomous winch. Went and got a god damn horse and was able to flip the Fleetstar basically up the mountain, and saved the Sentinel as well. Ended up recovering the sentinel and continuing our adventure in the LO4F
That is a Lo4ftastic story, thanks to its Mr lone wolf I always keep a lo4f close to hand, it's like a pen knife, it's always there and you don't need it all the time but when you do there's nothing else that will do it but a lil lo4f
I wish suspension in the game was softer. Going over rocks and stuff it never uses even close to at it’s travel. Also if it uses so of the travel it just bounces back immediately
There is a nice shortcut from the garage in Michigan first area you can turn immediate left and drive up the hill from the garage instead of going through the mud.
I mean, it’s hardly fair to compare anything to a Lo4F 🍞. Those scout trailers are better than the ramped flatbeds. I got snow runner for switch and am about 30% through Michigan, was doing the cargo containers from the quarry in smithville, the ramped flatbed dug in, pulled my P16 into the ditch by the farm and made it fall over - not an easy task. Went to recover the P16 with the WWS and all 3 pinged up into the sky. I decided to shut down and play again later but now the game won’t load and the game crashes whenever I try to load it, all because of a ramped flatbed.
Holy s**t sorry to hear about that, it's Mr lone wolf has said many times that the ramped flat beds arnt good and I've seen my self those trailers do all sorts of buggy things, to me there a last resort. Hope your game sorts it self out, have you got your memory backed up, if so it mite be a different save to your last one on the game allowing you reload. If your new to the game its Mr lone wolf has done some very useful tips videos which is great for beginner, trust me it's worth a look
@@lukesmith8792 this is why i have quite a few trailer mods on my game. The vanilla trailers are anchors. Vanilla trailers are like dragging a skateboard with a washing machine on it through mud. Doesn't work.
@@nfsfanAndrew haha that's a perfect example of what vanilla trailers are like to pull. I sometimes use modded trailers for that reason but if that mod isn't in the game temporarily you haven't got that trailer, for this reason I use vanilla trailers hooked up to a strong tractor which tends to solve the problem, the vanilla medium log trailers are useless, the modded version is much better.
My personal review of this scout is its the more refined vanilla version of the don 239 scout mod. It handles better and has lower center of gravity than Don 239. It's got good power too. I haven't tested its towing yet as amur is unsuitable for scouts towing larger trailers.
Good shout actually I've just started using that keny and think its quiet goods but would like to know what it's Mr lone wolf thinks of it as his test are very well done
@@sweettooth7124 . it's Mr lone wolf has done some mod review's before so hopefully he'll get round to doing this mod aswel, but probably after allot of phase 4 videos are done
@@lukesmith8792 yeah ive seen a few of his reviews for them. I'm waiting for him to review the zikz offroad pack, de250, ct300, and Ranger trailer pack.
Not too often i lave comments, but when you you drove over the barrier and a little later over the rocks you compared it to the loaf, but there is one key difference, the loaf is diff.lock allways on, the sentinel is not, so that makes it a little more obvious that it wont have the same grip/bite capability, or do you disagree?
I thought the same thing last night... I’m trying to play through with stock vehicles but I feel like the mods are so good that the devs are trying to balance maps to mods instead of to stock trucks
There is a great opportunity here for someone to make a great off road truck game with proper engine revs, etc. It would be easy to use this as a test bed to figure out what really needs to be done right to improve enjoyment in a game. I say this because Saber obviously doesn't care about even remotely realistic engine dynamics. And that is sad. It would improve the game greatly. And then there's super and death mud, snow; steering you into car sized boulder roads...WTF? But we won't talk about those travesties. Maybe Saber likes trolling patron more than proper bug fixing. Odds? About 7 in 10, I'd say.
while initially understanding the advantages and disadvantages of the mud tires against the chained, you still later use chains all the way and complain about how the scouts are slow in the mud... that's because CHAINS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR THE MUD, goddammit! They work best on hard surfaces like tarmac, ice, dirt, but never in mud!
That thing is a joke when it comes to thicker terrain. And do the devs think its fun when you're crawling thru the snow/mud at 1-2mph...its pathetic. You,re better off watching paint dry.
Pretty much every scout in the game is like that other than the Ford F-750 or the Tatrin Apc. Loadstar isn't terrible but not great either. Those are the only 3 I'd consider using. The others bog down far too hard in the slightest bit of mud. In most cases a regular truck can scout just fine unless you're trying to grab upgrades going through forest treelines.
I own a 25 hp gasoline powered 1940s 2 wheel drive farm tractor that'll out run this thing in snow and mud.... Just sayin lol maybe Ford > Khan? (I mean my tractor. Lol its a Ford 2N) Lo4f jumps, 10/10 x3 lol Sentinel jumps 2/10 couldn't stick the landings... 7/10, for getting back to its wheels post roll.
