Vehicle handling in 2.45
« on: 02-09-2012, 08:09:33 »
One question to the community:
Is it only me or did the vehicle handling change completely? When I take a WASP I feel like sitting in a tractor and driving the Kübelwagen I feel drunk and drive zickzack. The latter is not a big problem anymore but the WASP relies on it's speed and acceleration as one can easily shoot out the driver when it's not driving at full speed.

So, what do you think?

I have noticed that the Kubel handles a bit differently. I've gotten used to it though so I don't find it to be much of a problem.

Kübelwagen is a big pain in the bottom now! Please change at least the handling back

The trick with the Kübelwagen is to not hit the pedal and use the steering whell at the same time or it will slip away. Sound pretty realistic to me.

To me it feels like it has rear wheel steering or something, its awful.

Kubel is horrible, indeed. Willys is somewhat weird as well (regarding acceleration and deceleration - takes forever to get it move but stops immediately when you release the pedal).

I explained it afterwards or at least I tried to; if you cannot understand this I'm sorry. If you are here to make a non constructive one-liner, please forget this post.
The other ones, thank you for your answers.

I really didn't manage to get your point there.
You tried to described the way the Wespe handles? But it didn't make much sense. Did you mean it's too slow and steers too wildly?

I meant the WASP-carrier, the Universal carrier with the flamethrower. It's acceleration is rather bad compared to 2.4. I did not mean the heavy artillery piece. The sluggish handling is related to the Kübelwagen.

I find the Kubel still ok, however I tried the Civilian truck on PeB and it's plain horrible. If you turn the wheel a tad too long you end up making some 180° turn that I've (still) never managed to control

Also applies for the civilian coupe.

The Citroen 4CV is slower than the civil truck (just a personal feeling) now and still explodes like if it was filled with nitro (the TNT one :P)
