    For me, the Kenworth W990 is a great machine. I love Highway vehicles. SABER is making a mistake by not releasing a DLC similar to Mudrunner ''American Wilds''. I'm irritated by comments like: ''These vehicles are not suitable for this game, etc.'' Well, if someone is going to drive through mud in a Highway vehicle, with a low suspension and a long frame, and complain that the vehicle can't cope, then they are simply an idiot.

    • @ATribeCalledCars
      @ATribeCalledCars  8 месяцев назад +2

      I think that's the issue though. SnowRunner is for off-roading. The W990 definitely would be fun in the right map (lots of tarmac) or another game but for mud/snow it's very sub-optimal. And so I think it's fair to make people aware of that when it costs money.

    • @GromoslavPL
      @GromoslavPL 8 месяцев назад +4

      @@ATribeCalledCars I do not agree with you. From the beginning, the series involved driving vehicles on asphalt, mud, water and paved roads. The creators wanted to reproduce the behavior and physics of vehicles on various surfaces. In SnowRunner we also got snow and icy roads. Imagine that in the next installment of the title SABER adds the mechanics of slippery mud and asphalt during rainy weather. This would add a lot of excitement and immersion to Highway vehicles.

  • @andyoutlaww7494
    @andyoutlaww7494 8 месяцев назад +5

    I do agree that AWD Really hurts this truck but I don’t think you should really give this truck a thumbs down. I’ve used it a few times already and it’s not a bad truck. Yes it uses the same add-ons as all the other trucks but there are a few things I like about it the horn is actually not bad and the engine sounds are not bad if they could add all wheel drive to this truck and also offer a bigger tire sizes. You would have a really bad ass truck it tie with the Kenmore 963. So don’t throw in the towel yet on this truck I will saythe devs kind of just jumped over a few little things. They executed the truck beautifully but functionally it needs a little work you add all wheel drive to it and a few different tire sizes to it and a few other add-ons. This would be the go to work truck.

    • @dragonbutt
      @dragonbutt 8 месяцев назад +2

      I mean, i used an all american fleet when i was progressing through Imandra. The GMC MH9500 got me through everything except for recovering the armored vehicles and the plane pieces (ANK Civilian to the rescue on the plane parts, and some extra sketch crane work on the armored trucks using the western star). I wouldnt call it cucking. Id call it a skill issue.
      RWD trucks arent that bad to use either, and are decent on ice and generally have good range, speed and high torque values. I get that they dont do everything well, but they dont _need_ to. You have other trucks for that. They're perfect for just taking trucks between maps and cleaning up all those free trailers just chilling out in the world waiting to be sold. Most regions have a main paved/dirt path that goes across every map, so why not use it?
      Also in contrast to all the eastern european trucks, the american trucks can just kind of do more as a whole. Cargo bed, crane and a trailer and actually being able to turn, and not immediately flipping over upon trying to use the heavy crane without resorting to a very slow superheavy truck that takes forever to get anywhere and cant turn, just to name a few.
      American trucks just take a different playstyle. Thats all. You trade the sheer mud-plugging for all around more usefulness.

      It's a shame people have to jump to those judgements so soon now. And you're not wrong either to some extent. Russian trucks are designed to handle the worst kind of terrain because Russia is comprised of so many terrible roads. Its just unfortunate to me that there is clearly a bias on the development side too and that hinders many of the North American trucks. Some of which are just as capable as the Russian ones IRL. But in the game they choose to make them less powerful.
      Like the International Paystar 5070. I don't even know if that model actually existed. The 5000s featured a straight hood which would allow for a larger engine and more options than that slanted hood which granted them the opportunity to say it can't have an engine swap? Like seriously? There's also the fact that it has a lifted suspension with no added larger tire size above 46". That would be an easy way for them to compensate for the single engine option.
      There are tons of NA trucks that could be as powerful, if not more so than some of the Russian ones. If they ever add an Autocar DK64 or a DC-9966, i hope they do them proper justice. Because those are some proper offroad powerhouses that would be solid competitors IRL. Same with the Kenworth 849 / 850 and XM523 / XM523E2.

      ​@@Pink-LightsaberYou have no clue lmao. There are tons of North American trucks that have massive tires for agricultural use, way larger than Russian trucks. These are just slightly modified standard trucks. The devs refuse to acknowledge this. Also the old russian trucks had way less power and were way inefficient, the total inverse of how its programmed in game (same with the ANK, its IRL counter part has little power) This next part applies to all the trucks, fuel capacity can be easily doubled or tripled in real life with extra full size fuel tanks. The option for extra tanks has been needed since day 1, especially when Imandra dropped.

    The truck has plenty of power (i'd argue almost too much since it can tip itself over from standstill in auto when turning) and can plant that power down on the rear axles with good sized tires in my opinion, but yes a conversion kit (which do exist for these kenworths) to swap it to AWD would be nice. But would Saber make the effort to implement this since it would also need a complete visual rework to the entire front axle so it has the whole drivetrain? Time will tell, but I do hope so.
    The truck has plenty of potential I find and I personally had no issues with the tires, but the AWD missing is just holding it back from any chance of being used sadly :(

    Worth a mention that with the arrival of Season 12 the truck received some updates.
    Moved from Heavy to Highway category.
    Received an always on differential lock.
    It's factory tyres are matching the Pacific P512 stats.
    Also the off-road transmission gear ratio is altered a bit.
    In high gear with the always on diff lock it's pretty good at the moment.
    Bit of a downside that the truck is a bit tippy with the larger wheel, so i recommend to use the smaller size wheels.
    Maybe worth another go for everyone who get this truck in the past then wrote it off.

    it's pretty okay but i have noticed you need to be quick to adjust your gearbox as this thing wheelspins quite a bit. it has impressed me at times holding the auto gears offroad.
    that being said, in most circumstances, i would trust the p512 over this. i think it feels more dug into the terrain weighing about 12.4 tons as opposed to 8.8 tons. (voron d as opposed to wws 4964 for some perspective) vehicles over 10 tons tend to have less issues with wheelspin regardless of power to weight. having crack tires also helps lol

      @@ATribeCalledCars Apparently the difference between the tyres was huge and originally they wanted the Kenworth to be an alternative to the P512. But it didn't go well for the first time. Sadly I'm just feeding from the information what i get from forums and from my playing experience because as I'm playing on Xbox, so i cannot verify this by numbers.
      But apparently Season 12 is up on PTS now and they fixed the tyre values plus they fixed all JAT tyres "wide stance" as well.

    I am relatively new to game doing only region specific trucks in a mostly hard game+ settings game and was near 100 percent in Alaska. I bought the 990 thinking it would be a decent truck until I could get to some of the better ones but ended up selling it for a 50 percent loss. The bigger Kenworth tires were better than JATS but it just couldnt handle any semi deep mud well with any sort of big load, sold the 990 and P16 and bought the P12.
    The bigger diameter tires do not really help it out enough with just a diff lock. It could be an ok highway truck, the extra torque doesn't really do anything for it either in most situations, even the 681 faired better for me.

    • @vladvulcan

    • @Cobon50
      @Cobon50 8 месяцев назад

      Do not get me wrong the 990 is a decent truck, but given the fleet of US trucks I had (all the free ones in Michigan and Alaska, and a purchased 681), I didn't feel the 990 had any real use for me other than as a maintenance/fuel hauler, I already had other trucks that filled my roles better and in selling it and my P16 i could afford the P12 which with new JAT tires seems capable of most anything along with the Derry 3194 (Oshkosh m911) If I wasn't doing a US region specific then Russia region specific playthrough with limited funds it might have been more useful.
