They are beasts in real life. I’ve seen some amazing videos on the tube. An always on Diff would make them what they should be in my humble small opinion
I've started my game with the t813 this thing is my goto for everything I don't know about the terrain. I literally use it as scout. I'm a kinda patient player tbh and prefer "getting where I want" over speed advantages. Getting to your goal with lower speed is faster in the end than retry 15x until it works. The utility issue - mentioned in the video - is something I'd agree. I'm currently unlocking the Tatr t815 and it will extend my capabilities. (Yeah I just started Snow Runner in December 2022)
Welcome to SnowRunner! Thats awesome that you just picked up the game. Yes, slow and steady is a great playstyle. The Tatras are very strong trucks for sure. Thank you for stopping by the channel! Hope these videos help
@@NProvince Hello thank you for your fast reply. Yep those videos are pretty well made ngl. Currently started Don and just got my T815. It makes fun but by technical details I'd prefer a proper manual shift possibility and they need to fix the rpm meters they do everything but not showing the proper rpm xD (Maybe I'm used to Simulators I'm also playing Euro Truck Simulator, MS Flight Simulator X as example) :D Happy new year :D
From my understanding they do have it as well.. Complete monsters in low gear with the switchable diff. The always on would make it one of the best off-roaders
I thought this truck was pretty damn cool but as you said it just gets outperformed. I found it was just a pain to drive because of its big turning circle and it was too low to the ground.
Just came across this video, late to the party, but i love it. One aspect I would like to add: this truck (with bed + crane add-ons) is surprisingly easy to "rescue" in the wild with a smaller vehicle winch when you do manage to tip it over. On Hard Mode this is definitely a lifesaver, whereas I shy away from using other heavy, tippy trucks like the Antarctic. The new Derry is also much harder to upright, despite having a similar look as the Tatra 805.
Pretty disappointed with this after testing it out. I expected a straight up upgrade from t813, which was okay-ish and pretty decent but imo a very dull truck to drive. Expected an S-class truck, but its definitely not on the same level as the Vorons, Taygas, and the Azov 73210. I suspected it was ground clearance, and you confirmed it. Also, I wouldnt call it tippy, but not nearly as stable as the other S-class trucks that you can drive with abandon -- I think the stance isnt as wide. But at least you get a lot of fuel! I get that we can always use "less good" trucks to make the game fun. Unfortunately, I also find the Tatras very dull to drive.
I think that’s a pretty fair conclusion. It’s strong with diff lock engaged, but all that power is for nothing if it doesn’t have LOw gear to activate it.
I'm not sure if this has been changed since your review but this feels very close to the ziks now, great fuel economy with 540L of fuel on board a crane, bed and trailer, yeah the crane does lower the front a bit but doesn't seem to stop it.. Its becoming my go to favourite
Its a good truck for sure and I use it quite a bit, but I still dont feel its close to the Zikz. Its got great power, good fuel consumption and a roofrack, as well as that crane and bed, yet for it to be comparable to the Zikz; it would need Diff always on. Thats what is hurting its performance outside of Low Gears
My guess is that they stiffened the rear suspension to compensate with the weight when towing a truck with the special addon. Makes it feel kind of sluggish Fun fact, there's a 16 wheeled Tatra Force that is currently in Germany working as a drilling rig. It's really cool!
Well when driving it, or even if you manage to ramp it somehow; the front just dives down so fast. It has that DAN96230 feel. I wish we could stiffen or losen suspensions. How cool would that be!? A 16 wheeler!! Gosh that is wild! Im gonna go check that out! Thank you for that info!!
I know I’m bombarding You with comments but I’m basically binge watching your truck Review series, and I am telling you your review vids are DA BEST on youtube. 🤘😎🤘
I recently went to Don after getting frustrated with Amur, and I agree with everything you’ve said about the Tatra’s. Solid trucks but they do seem to get caught up in deeper mud.
I tested this truck today thr first time. well ... I will still use the T813. Better GC (even to T-815 without crane), smaller, so better in offroad and better turning circle. More little details, I love looking at. More repair points. The T815 can bed and crane, yay, but without bigger tires or difflock... thanks for the money selling it :D
yes, I know.. I wanted to say < no "always on" difflock > 🙂 It would be one worry less and sweeten the deal to have the bigger truck with fewer ground clearance. Switchable AWD: that is 👍
So at the time the name was LC 3.8. That was recently changed, i definitely copy those addon names over when I list them. I actually remember being puzzled by the name even when I knew it was indeed a different crane
One downside i would add to the list I grabbed that truck yesterday and i immediately noticed that out of All the Tatra trucks it has the biggest turning circle. its very clunky and hard to navigate through narrow passages with it Otter than that i agree with all of your points. Thx Nathan
And I would absolutely agree with you! That coulda been added to the list as well. Thank you for checking out the video as always! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
So, a Russian truck, an American truck and a Czech truck can have those capabilities? Sweet! I'll definitely be using those three trucks, regardless of if it's the original or modded variants.
Its not a bad teuck, but im waiting for its front suspension to be fixed cause it squats due to the weight of the tatra loading crane, i said if its a military class vehicle it should have strong suspension
The only problem with this tatra is that thr 815 is too top heavy. It is nor normal. If this truck was made well it is unstoppable. Like in expeditions. It is perfect! Like no more super front heavy like beyond realism. I hope someone brings it like a mod or smf
Hi Nathan! Every aspect you told here about the Tatra Force 815-7 is s unfortunately true. Especially if you compare it to the new Derry Special at the moment. It's a real shame for the Tatra truck. It's top-heavy like a coati if the crane is installed. Every Western Star outperformed this one, even without diff lock on Ontario this time. You saw some originals, I know. It has so much potential to be one of the best...but....that's the difference between a game and a simulator. Take care and keep snowrunnering! 💪👈👍
For trucks like the tatra force and the phoenix, should they be run on the unique mud tires they come with or should they use the mudtires that other trucks share?
@@Ruby_sack4155 Ya its for a bug fix. If they were bringing out a whole new region, it would be on the PTS first like every other patch. His video said the "devs said they are slowly heading towards Phase 6." Gamin wheel would have PTS gameplay first looks up for the new region if it was coming out in mid October
Today I've just unlocked the Tatra Force in Don (was doing this map only for this truck). For me this truck is a huge disappointment. I can't find something positive in it. Even its special addon is useless. The Tatra Phoenix is a very good surprise though (in my opinion of course). So I came to Don for the Force but leave with the Phoenix.
Man, sorry you're not having a good time with the Tatra Force. It can be rough to use. I think its best used in a slower gameplay and you really gotta watch its balance when using the crane
The slower gameplay doesn't bother me I'm playing this way. This truck has no clearance and when you put the crane on it it's worst. First mud puddle in Don and it's stuck, where the phoenix is still going with a trailer.
This truck is utterly useless for one simple reason: There are no winch points on its side, only along the center line. Meaning it is imposible to upright when it inevitably tips over.
The devs kinda did the Tatra trucks dirty. They're all total beasts in real life.
They are beasts in real life. I’ve seen some amazing videos on the tube. An always on Diff would make them what they should be in my humble small opinion
I just found out yesterday that it's wheels have 100 damage tolerance instead of 50. that's another level of being fantastic.

It’s pretty weird that this truck doesn’t get diff lock always on considering the real life truck has it (from my knowledge)
From my understanding they do have it as well.. Complete monsters in low gear with the switchable diff. The always on would make it one of the best off-roaders
I thought this truck was pretty damn cool but as you said it just gets outperformed. I found it was just a pain to drive because of its big turning circle and it was too low to the ground.
It is a really good truck. In low gears with diffs; it is quite good. Oh ya and the turning LOL. Overall I do really like it for the slow paced play.

Love this truck, long trips are no problem. Im carving through Amur with it at the moment
Thats awesome
The Force also works for the police, and can be made 16x16 and 20x20 too
Nice!
Been waiting for this. Let’s go Nathan!
Thank you for waiting patiently. I really hope you enjoyed it!
@@NProvince I did. Thank you!

🤘😎🤘
Man thank you! That really means alot! Im glad you're enjoying them. I really do put alot of work and research into these.
Hey man that's very good review! I like that i learned something new.
Hey thank you brother! I say the exact same thing all the time! I'm always trying to learn new things from people
I want to add two more upsides:
1- it has a very powerful (and cool looking) crane
2- it's free
Two very good additions to upsides! Great comment!
I recently went to Don after getting frustrated with Amur, and I agree with everything you’ve said about the Tatra’s. Solid trucks but they do seem to get caught up in deeper mud.
They are GREAT when they are in Low Gear With Diff Lock, but outside of Low Gears they lack a little
Yea!!! Man your like coffee, need your reviews in my life, desperately!
I appreciate that brother! Ford F750 Next week for ya hopefully!
I love this truck :)))
Great video again!
Despite all its downfalls; I really enjoy this vehicle! Really good truck!

More little details, I love looking at. More repair points. The T815 can bed and crane, yay, but without bigger tires or difflock... thanks for the money selling it :D
Wait it does have difflock though. It’s the same as the T813 both AWD and diff are switchable
yes, I know.. I wanted to say < no "always on" difflock > 🙂 It would be one worry less and sweeten the deal to have the bigger truck with fewer ground clearance.
Switchable AWD: that is 👍
When talking about crane, there's a mistake: Tatra minicrane is called TAT-12, not the LC 3.8
So at the time the name was LC 3.8. That was recently changed, i definitely copy those addon names over when I list them. I actually remember being puzzled by the name even when I knew it was indeed a different crane
@@NProvince, maybe it was on PTS? Yeah, I another review and indeed it was called lc 3.8 at the time
This truck as firetruck? well, by the time they get there, the new building is already finished at where the old one burn down...
LOL 😂 well I’m sure in real like it performs a lot better than in game
One downside i would add to the list I grabbed that truck yesterday and i immediately noticed that out of All the Tatra trucks it has the biggest turning circle. its very clunky and hard to navigate through narrow passages with it
Otter than that i agree with all of your points. Thx Nathan
And I would absolutely agree with you! That coulda been added to the list as well. Thank you for checking out the video as always! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Maybe one day they will add all wheels steering to the game, because it supports it...
ruclips.net/video/maJVYXaOd6s/видео.html
4:40 Haha, I Actually just want to get those tatras in don. But heck! Prerequisites on top of each other. I ended up trying to finish the entire don.
Ya the mission prereqs can be annoying, but if you're doing missions they will lead you to unlocking both of them.
I think the truck needs to be front heavy so it doesn't wheelie when using the towing frame.
Could be the reason it is front heavy actually. Who knows? I wish I could speak to the devs and pick their brains on this stuff.
@@NProvince Yea that would be nice.
So, a Russian truck, an American truck and a Czech truck can have those capabilities? Sweet! I'll definitely be using those three trucks, regardless of if it's the original or modded variants.
Its not a bad teuck, but im waiting for its front suspension to be fixed cause it squats due to the weight of the tatra loading crane, i said if its a military class vehicle it should have strong suspension
They shifted its COG and tuned some other things. Its front suspension is no longer suppressed. This should be on live server when Season 13 drops
The only problem with this tatra is that thr 815 is too top heavy. It is nor normal. If this truck was made well it is unstoppable. Like in expeditions. It is perfect! Like no more super front heavy like beyond realism. I hope someone brings it like a mod or smf

Nice dude currently grinding for this truck
Awesome! You'll Unlock it soon and be on your way. I think you'll really enjoy it!
For trucks like the tatra force and the phoenix, should they be run on the unique mud tires they come with or should they use the mudtires that other trucks share?
I’d say if they don’t have the MSH 2 option then yes I would use the custom tires on these
I love the Tatra Force definitely worth doing that mission in Russia to get it
Most definitely agree !
Phase 6 is going to be released in mid October
I'm not sure thats true. I think thats a HotFix for the game. If it is Phase 6; Thats Awesome!

No worries bro, You had me super excited there for a min. Im sure it will be out soon though. :)

It's crane is just the same as the truck. Decent but SLOW.
However, any crane is better than no crane.
horn not that good but the truck is
Horn no, but yea buddy it is a good truck!
This truck is utterly useless for one simple reason: There are no winch points on its side, only along the center line. Meaning it is imposible to upright when it inevitably tips over.
Good news though, Center of mass changes are going to be better in Season 13 for this truck. It will be much better than its current state.
