Just a side note if you put the high range gearbox on the WS 49x and get some momentum, just put it in high gear and It will go very fast without stopping, uphill, or through a mud pit. High gear on the WS also majorly helps it accelerate. I have never gone that fast in any other truck
It would be nice if we were given the option to remove the drop axle or if they would just go ahead and make it live so the trucks are 8x8. The biggest reason why I never use the DR 3194 is because of that drop axle.
So to shed some light on that topic a little birdie told me they might be implementing actual physics for it. The reason they are there IRL is to take weight off of the other axels making it extremely easy for the truck to traverse on rough terrain with a heavy load
The Derry has gotten a lot better with the always on diff and ability to drop the pusher axle but I've also noticed it seems to sit up higher compared to the 49x's pusher axle. From my time playing with my 49x I sometimes can't tell if it's engaged or not as it looks almost equal to the rest of the frame and when it's dropped it really doesn't add much suspension height over all. The Derry on the other hand makes it very easy to tell when it's engaged and adds a clear increase to your suspension height
I don't know I find both of them add significant height when axle is pushed... but that height is not at all useful instead it does make them high-centered in certain situations
It might just be me I barely notice a difference on the 49x. With the Derry not only do I clearly see it but you can feel the performance difference. Maybe it needs time to settle in or possibly my truck is bugged but that pusher axle mind as well not exist. It's a fun truck regardless though
I think the Western Star is more of a Heavy Duty than a Heavy. It's so small compared to the real heavy haulers. I wish it has raised suspension and the ability to fit 49' wheels like the White Western Star. Aside from that the lift axle is pretty useful when hauling heavy loads over paved roads, but when offloading it should be turned off. It has the second best American engine in the game only beaten by the Twin steer West line V16. Overall I quite like the new truck. The horn made me buy it. It sounds so aggressive and cool. The Derry also became good but it's engine is a bit too weak for its size
I cannot love the Derry Longhorn 3194. I tried. Really tried. But it has a very bad turning radius & steers like a stubborn bull. I prefer the 4520. That thing steers well.
@@ozymandiastotb8925 yeah I get what you mean. The other Derry also has mud tires, but I still think it's older brother can do very well. I did the Imandra plane recovery mission with it and it did fairly well
not as weak as the other Derry. It is 5t heavier and has less powerful engine. Also 4520's "mudtires" have worse stats than 3194's offroads. the WWS has 47" tires maximum
Yup, one thing I did notice about the drop axle is if ya lift it up it does better in the but but if you high center on something while the drop axle is up put it down and you’ll get right over it, it is definitely useful on the road.
better weight distribution is only for being able to legally haul heavier loads so they don't damage the road. It completely pointless in this game besides being high centered
@@nathanmclaughlin1586 except you lose all realisticness when you take these trucks off road. These roads are far more extreme than anything a trucker has to go through. You would never use a deadweight axle going through mud. It's only good for paved roads mostly just a rule from DMV to distribute weight across Bridges and such.
49X is great for early game areas like Michigan where mud can largely be avoided due to the ample paved/dirt roads, but in later areas where that mud gets much more common it starts to fall behind. Not to mention that it's a bit top heavy and tends to flip with the dummy axle engaged.
What so funny here is that the tester of these vehicles never know what those lift axles for. Yes, don't decide or accuse something useless if u dont do even a research. I'd subs u long2 time ago since i love ur content and i am Snowrunner series. For everyone here who dont know what's the function, try it. Yes, try it. Try it when u hauling heavily then making a turn sharply with lifted and dropped suspension, see the difference. I know its your opinion but dont decide too early if u dont really know whats the function. You even lift the axle when traversing the Mud Pit. Try to lift ur axle when the tires are skew (in real life) or when ur tires are spinning on the soft surface (i mean soil), if ur not it will plow the soil deeply. When u travel in hard surfaces, drop it, u'll run faster. The axle helped u hauling lest there is a tire problem like digging mud.
I was seriously let down by the WS-49X. Can't believe I paid cash for that POS!!! All it does is spin tires in the mud. I found that it actually goes better with the 3rd axle up. If you drop the 3rd axle it just slows it down.
I like the mentality, they didnt pump up the game with trucks that are superior in every aspect then charge for them. We got some real beasts in the base game, it would be hard (and unnecessery) to top them every few months.
Both are great games. I would say Snowrunner is a deeper game with way more content. Mudrunner is a good introduction to the formula, and then Snowrunner just made it bigger, better, and more rewarding in my opinion..
Not at all, apart from its dreadful turning circle it’s a really OP truck. As long as you keep the drop axle raised, it is one of the best low hitch semitrailer haulers out there and it can be unlocked really early.
The OHD I tires actually have better traction than the OHD II tires on the Derry Longhorn. The proper tires, UOD II, were chosen for the 49x. In short, there was a handicap traction-wise and the DL still outperformed. I do my research on stats like that because I hate getting stuck.
TBH tires don't make that big of difference...I mean if they're in same catagory i.e off-road, mud... but still I'll take that in consideration for future video
why would they make the 49x alot better than the bandit and the derry. I get they make the 49x better than trucks in its section for money but that 49x is overpowered. All trucks in its group will get destroyed by that thing.I think it will be getting nerfed as it the best truck in its catergory. Btw the derry only wins thing cuz its a heavy truck not a mid weight truck. The mid weight 49x is the best mid weight truck so far
Russian mid trucks: Hold my Vodka boi Ok, I do get your point, it is a unique American mid truck in its' class. But I don't really prefer it since you can just make full use of good old free MH9500 and F2070A. The lovely p-w ratio needs a non-muddy surface to fully perform it's mighty, as a pre-purchased player I can just have the Navistar with highway gearbox and it's beast engine there to overtake any other highway truck unless the need can't be fulfilled by a trailer. I mean, in this game, lack of AWD is deadly. 49X is fancy but it's not a must. Meanwhile, I do agree it's overpowered. Anyway, they just want our money haha.
49x's Op is actually only engine. Small tires and dead axle make it not much capable than other trucks. Like in this video, it was beaten by 3194. Actually the 1st day I play it, tow the disassembled 749 trailer, I tried both 3194 and 49x, 3194 do perform better, when 49x stuck, change to 3194, sometime it can get out, but when 3194 stuck, 49x never get out, even with diff-lock on. And about the dead axle, 3194 lifted higher than 49x, means fewer chance it cause trouble.
Did some digging a few days ago. The "dead axle" is meant to be lowered when hauling heavier loads to improve weight distribution to all tires. Logically, that should mean you'll have more power to the drive wheels because less weight. No idea if the mechanic works as intended, and is kind of moot for the Derry since you cant lower the dead axle.
In this game it does nothing... infact it makes things worse as it get high-centered on stuff and make them stuck as you can see in mud pit test... most 6x6 did complete that test with not much difficulty
@@SD1ONE how exactly do you know the lift axle does not alter weight distribution in game? Perhaps you could test that in a short video somehow? On another note, I've got a large and varied fleet. The 49X may prove useful for me, idk for others.
@@highmaintenance7879 I've been playing these games from the days of original spintires back in 2014...So I have pretty good idea how things works in this game..Belive me putting that axle down has more cons than pro.
It would be nice if the tires could Blow like in real life due to loads being too heavy. That axle seems to be for looks. I too believe the extra height does nothing useful.
The westernstar 49x is good but yeah the disadvantage is the extra dead axle that always seems to come in way when you are on a rough or muddy road however its fuel consumption is decent I still have enough to get back to the garage the offroad gearbox is great but 4 plus 3 extra low + and low- it's good but top speed isn't there but it works better in tough and hard Conditions
In your opinion what do you think is the best scout for supporting a friend in coop, incase he needs a pull or repair and fuel also towing somethings from time to time?
depends on region but tatarin can do almost all those things... fuel and repair are limited to roof rack but it can pull whole loaded truck if it comes to that
Any plans on comparing the Bandit against anything? After driving it only flaw i have seen is wheel slip and the small fuel tank. Other than that i'd say it could rival the tayga.
The tayga has to be the worst for hauling anything other than a few loads of wood, it struggles going up 20 degree angles. It can’t pull any large trailers like the construction rig semi trailer and it’s very tippy
The active suspension on both of these does come in handy. Just getting through mud, or crawling up a slope, that little bit of extra height and better weight distribution do make a difference.
third axles are good for stability, especially good for logging, resisting to tipping much more than two axled trucks. Other than that they are pretty useless.
Great I got it out long ago an sold that Derry because it was a terd now it’s good....plus all these dlc paid trucks guess paying premium for the game only got me the maps?
The fact that is it being compared to the longhorn should tell you this truck ain't worth it. I bought the 49x as soon as phase 2 dropped without even looking up a video on the truck. Its not a bad truck, just not a hauler I use it with a Maintenance add-on.
That Derry is ugly as hell but it will get the job done. I love the 49X despite the front end bouncing around like a low rider and it tips easily with the log loader crane attached. Its a fast truck too. Should do a road race between the 49X and the ANK MK38. Another fast truck ... J
It should help with load distribution, but in the game having and extra dead axle on the ground is more harmful than good. It might help with stability on paved roads
It does raise the ride height, so theoretically it should help a bit with keeping the frame and bumpers out of the mud. Whether or not that offsets the extra set of tires you’re now dragging through the mud... I suppose that’d require more testing.
yes... it's heavy just because of that dead axle.... but I love it's engine though... it's very powerful yet fuel efficient as compared to something like Navistar
Hi everyone...i bought the premium release on saturday but i can't download any mods cos i keep getting that 10001 errror code so has anyone know of a fix ....im on steam/pc xxx
