I've had it with ETS2

[Lexx]

Today I purchased Italy thinking "after that long time ETS2 must have become better than it was", so I made a new profile, didn't put any mods in order to see how things are in the vanilla version and... on the second job I had enough of ETS2. What you're gonna see is NOT on ATS and that's why ATS will remain my favorite forever (not to mention the higher speed limits there but that's another topic of discussion), while ETS2 will be permanently uninstalled and I won't pay a cent in the future, even if they release a DLC map of the whole world!

tl;dr you're butthurt because you lost all your grip while going uphill and flooring it

Arrivederci troll

Lexx, you have to lift the mid axle, that's exactly what real truck drivers do.

That won't do any good. That axle is to aid steering and with or without it the grip won't improve. Not to mention that the hill isn't that steep, it's just a bump. Also it's dry dirt, it's not mud, so there's no reason for slipping. If I had put the TSM map, I'd probably slide back down on the first seriously steep hill and Greece IRL has plenty of those. Very "realistic"...

Well that is 100% wrong. Lifting the midlift puts all the trailer weight on the drive axle (just like in real life) which gives it more grip (just like in real life).

Also the differential lock exists for a reason.

yeah, blame the game four your inability to drive the truck correct

i can get even with a 4x2 and "only" 300hp up there without a problem

edit:

just so that you can see how a real trucker does it

36t load without a sweat up this "hill" truck and trailer mass not calculated into it (but can be up to another ~20t so 56t mass in total)

You sucks at driving dude lol thats why you are butthurt?

If you were my boss you'd pay me for unhealthy working conditions and you'd also pay for the delay of the delivery since it's your fault - you gave me a crap truck with only one powered axle, so any delays because of that are your fault.

If that chassis is an authentic representation of the same one IRL, then no wonder no sane company boss in Bulgaria buys it. Here you can find either 1 powered axle, 2 powered and 1 steering or 2 powered and 2 steering. And as you saw on the video, with that retarded chassis even the differential lock (DL) does nothing, lol. On ATS if I engage DL, I get out of very hard places in no time on 1st gear - no such things as slipping wheels and BS. Without DL and with 75 tons trailers I wouldn't even feel that bump.

You sucks at driving dude lol thats why you are butthurt?

ETS2 is becoming like World of Tanks - the more you pay for the game, the more it sucks. There's a way to fix that "realistic" chassis and then no axles lifting would be necessary but I don't feel like doing it.

If you're so good at driving, go play ATS. I bet you're gonna brush the wall at the first corner. Go drive 3600 miles with 75 tons (3 trailers 28 meters long) and deliver them with 0% damage (idiotic colorblind AI), then we'll talk who sucks at driving, lol. I'd really like to see how you're gonna make a 90 degree turn on a small road with 28 meters trailers without hitting any AI or tearing the immediate gas station down. There is a way just like IRL but you gotta know about it.

Enough talking on the matter, I'm done with ETS2 for a very long time. If someone wishes to comment which game is harder to play, I'll be more than glad to do it in PMs.

It's a bit disappointing (but not unexpected) that you seem to expect the game to work how YOU want it to work and not how it should work. And then when others give you advice, instead of taking it on board you throw it back at them and throw a tantrum. Certainly not a mature attitude.

I've never had a problem with either game on gravel or bitumen, 4x2, 6x2, 6x4 or 8x4 chassis, single, double, triple or heavy load trailer, rain or shine. I'm not saying I've never been 'stuck' tho - I've certainly been temporarily stuck in places I SHOULD be stuck. I also drive trucks for real and drive trucks in game how they are programmed to be driven. Unless you've suddenly become a master of physics (both real world and in game) and have driven trucks for some time, I suggest you start listening to the advice that's being given to you. You may find you start enjoying the game.
