In my experience the Bandit is way more easier to flip on it's side compared to the Azov. Especially on bumpy forest roads, where I flipped with the bandit so many times that I got fed up and got me an Azov. Yes, it is slower, but it has great fuel effinency and the stability is simply insane compared to the Bandit. Never again have I flipped on the same road after the switch. Azov > Bandit all the way for me.
Of all the trucks I've used so far, the azov is the only truck I can trust to do anything I ask it to, ive only ever had it stuck a few times, but I was able to pull it out via winch and it kept going. I love its fuel efficiency and its ability to pull anything through almost any terrain, I drove up to the f750 on lake kovd with a trailer and the KHAN on it, then towed the f750 all the way across the map through the snow and skinny trails in the thick forests all on one tank of gas
Yes it only has 150 liters of fuel but with the roof rack you can increase that to 290. I'll definitely be trading in my Azovs (both medium types) for a pair of bandits. I won't use them much because I still don't like four wheel turning but I'll keep a few in the garage just in case.
I love it... "on paper" Bandit is better in almost all tests but actually in game it's really bad imo. Super bouncy and lots of random damage with it, even on flat roads. It's really easy to flip and fuel is also a big problem for the Bandit.
@@skullofhell1662 the top engine is a real gas guzzler The stock engine is efficient and can do the same task with the same ease. Just don't put it to handle very heavy cargo. As it is, there are other trucks for very heavy cargo, the bandit is the perfect workhorse. Can do most things, from exploring to unlocking roads to delivering up to 4x cargo without a trailer (for the advanced players ;) ) and even pulling semi trailers, but why, when you can have a heavy truck for that. For example use the tayga for all the heavy stuff (even stock engine is sufficient once you rescue it) and the bandit for everything else with the stock engine. Exploring, recovery, unlocking, small tasks, medium tasks, you name it. And once you get higher you can use a heavy truck for the big bad large semi trailers. The Azov 6 series is good for JUST ONE thing. On hard mode, going on the new maps. Because it is the best fuel efficient competent truck of the game, you can do all the small tasks without worry until you find the fuel trailers scattered on the maps. Once you do that, you can leave it alone, it's useless. Use tayga and bandit
@@paoloonblitz9699 But you'll get nowhere in those 15mins. How I wish you could see the fuel consumption in some real world units like l/100km or whatever
My bandit flips all the dang time. Plus it's small tank is just annoying. I have the fuel tanks on top but the game has a bug where it doesn't let me fill them up at a gas station. Bandit is definitely fast and goes through everything tho
Yeah, the stability test isn't what I've experienced lol the big mud tires make it bouncy so that truck gets a recovery mission more than anything else
The bandit is one of those vehicles that take real skill to drive effectively, also, the mud tires may improve stability, but they insanely limit the grip on most surfaces. The bandit is an oddball, and as such shouldn’t be compared against vehicles in any class, because it’s so different to literally everything else.
idk my friend who i met in OG spintires like 8 years ago and has been playing since the spintires tech demo just like me and even before these hard russia maps he still flipped the bandit atleast a time or two every 2 hour or so play session and i always needed to have a tayga so i could flip him back over
if you turn right and don't do hill climbs then you're fine. bandit is good beginner truck since lvl requirement is low and it's fast, also those beefy tires help but not by alot
Bandit for fast deliveries and runs, Azov for a more casual pace. Both are capable, though. I am wondering if and when there'll be an update where all vehicles don't have the same gear, though. As in, flatbeds, fuel tanks and all that.
I was about to sell the Bandit because after the first test (stock) I thought it is a joke. Since I saw this comparison .. I kept using it for all sorts. So far it's the best truck for me. Like I used the Khan in the beginning even for missions, not just exploring. Thank you for all the comparisons, they are fun and helpful !
Yeah my first impressions of the Bandit were bad too. Those highway tires really kill the truck if you already have a normal truck with offroads or even all terrains. As soon as I put the Tayga tires on it, then I could saw that it could be much more useful. The small fuel tanks still hurts though
Azov is still better in my eyes tips less don’t have to refuel every 5 minutes can get through everything. Bandit is great for quick missions but not for travel
A list of reasons the Bandit is gonna be my new main truck: Has a massive cabin Has a color option that's on-brand for me Looks fantastic 8x8 A good amount of add-ons Very useful crane already installed Awesome name
@@sphyrnazygaena2690 I kinda hate those tires. They are waaay too big. Don't care how useful they are, they look really weird on anything besides the Tayga.
@@truenothefox and in reality russians put them on literally everything seriously, look for example m.avito.ru/sankt-peterburg/zapchasti_i_aksessuary/arochnye_kolesa_diski_5x1397_shiny_ya-170_1793737639
I used the Bandit with the maintenance add-on to completely explore Alaska. Got the achievement for going through all four zones on a single tank with it. It's unstable, but it can be a good truck after you've gotten a feel for it. I have dubbed my Azov the "Unstoppable Snail" if I need something moved or recovered, the Azov is my goto truck.
Спасибо разработчикам, за то, что ломают баланс в игре с каждым новым ДЛС. Раньше были хорошо иметь при себе скаут и вездеход. Потом они выпускают ГАЗ 66, который полностью ломает баланс. Особенно на колесах Тайги и все едет вообще легко и скауты больше не нужны. Раньше знал, что ты либо ползешь например на Колобе, но ты точно доедешь иди летишь, но с большим шансом, что перевернешься или застрянешь . А тут нам дарят это чудо. Дальше ждем машины на шнеках которые будут летать и возить за собой 100 метровые прицепы
тоже вообще не понял зачем добавлять такую технику. хотя бы бак бы 150 оставили, без запаса на крыше, ну хоть куда ни шло бы. ну или 1-2 модуля оставили бы, а получается самый лучший лёгкий кран, одна из лучших проходимостей, высокая скорость, 300л бенза, ну вообще дичайший дисбаланс
Теперь по фактам: Бандит хуже в воде и на снегу, а это уже не попадает под Аляску, Север России и Канаду. Его кран короче обычного на полтора метра, что может сыграть свою роль. Бандит хорош в Мичигане или на Таймыре, но в других локациях Azov или Kolob (хоть он и 6х6) будут лучше.
Мне Бандит не особо. Быстрый да, но постоянные перекосы и попытки перевернутся на ровном месте это дикий минус. А Азов офигенен. Едет медленнее, но за то как утюг проходит любые препятствия,
На бандите рама и кабина живут отдельно,груз чуть наклонился и всё бандит отдыхает.Азов же очень тяжело перевернуть...если только не уснёшь от его медленной скорости)))Азов рулит ,любимая машина!
Yeah as long as you ignore the better power to weight ratio, the better speed, the better ground clearance, the better crane, the fact it can carry fuel/repairs, it's cheaper. So yeah basically 1 advantage
Wow what a fair comparison its helps to have both with the same size tires thats does make a difference the older one does lose most of the challenge but its still one of my favorite it got me out of the danger many times plus its look better " I think "
Honestly Bandit is the best truck as long as you remove the crane addon. With the crane, as seen in comments, it will flip over so easily that you get fed up. I took both the crane and sideboard bed out and added a service trailer and now it’s indispensable when exploring new maps.
Let’s be honest, it doesn’t actually matter what truck does anything the fastest (except for those timed laps etc). What really matters is that it can get over and through an obstacle at all no matter how quick, large tank & low fuel consumption and decent durability
Hand my finger on the button to sell my bandit first part of the game as i dumped 3 loads from it in a muddy wet curve and i was upset day the least. But i kept it as i saw the upgrades it could have and now lately it has pulled its own i just need those huge tired 👍 good video thanks
The bandit is an excellent rescue truck, it doesn't get stuck in deep mud, it has a very high tube so it can go through deep water, it is very stable, Well I have never flipped on it. in icy weather too. It is very reliable even without the most powerful engine. I rescued the f750 with that truck because whenever I tried it with others I got stuck in the ice
lots of spelling errors in this video also at the very beginning you had things mixed up and had bandit stats over the azov and azov stats over the bandit. please take a little bit more care in video's.
I really like the bandit but just like do many other trucks girl capacity isn't enough. still going with the 64131, it's slow, but steady. and can run, maybe jog, long range. I'd really like to put those tyaga tires on the 64131
The bandit is a more than capable truck easily surpassing the Azov 6 when you spend time learning what upgrades are best on it. The more you play the more you realize that tire size and choice far out weight fuel considerations which can be compensated for with various methods and proper upgrade choices (hint: the best motor isn’t always the best choice especially when upgrading the transmission as well) The Trials teaches this to you quick!
The problem I find with bandit is that it has very bouncy suspension which makes it kinda tippy and when it flips it's very hard to get it back on it's tires.
@@SD1ONE The crane and lift axels are usually the culprit in vehicles not flipping back over easily...an issue with how the game places mass. I just find the smaller tires on the Azov too hard too overlook, too many disadvantages with a smaller tire size. If you can put a bigger tire on you instantly have a more capable truck. I meant to say that anyone who completes all the trials won’t have an issue with the bandit. As far as determining the better truck factually, the bandit wins. The rest is down to driver style and preference. So I agree.
The fuel Efficiency of Azov for an offroad truck with AWD and Diff lock always on, is insane. You can go really far without refueling. Yes, the speed becomes a pain at some points where you think it should have a bit faster atleast for the concrete roads😂
Im finding the bandit flips over very easy. even more unstable with mud tyres on it. it seems to work best with off road tyres. I rarely get stuck with off road tyres on it. but mud tyres it gets stuck a lot more especialy in mud. Only used it in black river and smithville dam so far as thats as far as ive got. But im finding the fleetstar is better on some jobs. especially the quarry where i cant even get the bandit in without it flipping over. Its also got a nasty habbit of flipping over trying to get past the farm and get stuck in the mud going to the farm while the fleetstar goes though it no probs with highway tryes on it.
I know your comment is rather old...still on the Smithville dam farm road I never use it, tbh there is a small crop pasture to the immediate southern front entrance. There is a small access road that follows along its side and leads right past the flooded area....
The off-road tires are a much better choice than taiga tires. They cut through shallow mud, and they actually have some semblance of grip on pavement. Taiga’s are good for two things, deep thick mud, and snow, not much in between
The Azov getting more than twice the mileage is a deal breaker, especially if have to roam all over the map. Speed is not so much an advantage especially epseeing the azov can go anywhere the bandit can, just a bit slower.
I like Bandit but Azov is near perfect truck in the game. It is highly stable, incredibly fuel efficient with massive 350 litres fuel tank, maintains its pace when even at Auto when you're hauling heavy cargo, powerful enough to climb rocks and snow hills. You can't tip this baby over unless you were too reckless.
well, the Azov is really one of the best vehicles in the game, I prefer the Bandit out of habit, but I could only play with it smoothly after 1 month using it, but it is top 10, I recommend it
I like the Bandit. But its small fuel tank is honestly pathetic. The Azov 5319 is bad enough with 200l, but 150l? Damn, can barely leave the garage with that. Yes I know, roof rack. But why not make it 300l from start? The idle alone on the vehicles are insane enough, last thing you need is a small fuel tank on a vehicle that devours fuel during off-roading like Kronos devours children. The 64131 main advantage is its 350l tank. It's a good truck, capable and durable. But antagonizing slow and honestly kinda boring. But boring and slow vs constant need for refuelling? Easy pick.
Damn dude you're fast. Also recently the Bandit got a Maintenance Frame Add-On, and also who cares about fuel capacity when it has a roof rack which in total has 290 liters? (AND REPAIR SUPPLIES) Move outta the way Tayga, Bandit is our new king
0:10 a mistake was made. KRS 58 has much better tires than Azov PS: also the crane adds substantial weight and is a major disadvantage to a truck, why did you fit the crane on one truck and compare with the azov with no crane. Even if the menu doesn't show, the crane drastically reduces the capabilities of the truck by it's extra mass
@@SD1ONE but stock tires are irrelevant, it's what the truck has available...this is why they are upgraded to the max in the first place and compare correctly.
Fuel tank make no difference as it can have roof rack without compromising any other addons and that roofrack can carry 140lt extra fuel which bumps up bandit's fuel capacity to 290lt which is decent enough I guess.
