Don't have the time to work it out fully, but promise me there'll be a NPC build for the tanker called the "Valdez", with a heavy oil jet aft.

:p

It’s hard to believe a Motorhome would be able to support far more armor per side than a box van and have a higher toughness.

Also hard to believe a Motorhome is equal in engine size limit to the big pickup, can support more armor per side and is only one level less in toughness.

Same for a Motorhome having the same toughness as the Tanker, better toughness than a Semi, Windsor and on the same level as many of the muscle cars. A real life windsor is built like a tank compared to a real life motorhome built with lightweight materials.

Hopefully they have some weakness like really bad acceleration and can turtle easier than any other chassis, except maybe a lorry.

If I was a Box Van or a Lorry I’d be crying right now.

Why? It looks fine to me. It's a larger model than a big pickup, and will be much easier to hit.

Not a valid counter considering a Box Van and Lorry are easy targets and have either weak armor toughness or can only support 70% of the armor per side than the Motorhome can.

Do you honestly think a real life Motorhome has the same toughness as a rel life tanker?

No way these could be pre Apocalypse motorhomes.

I wonder how much armor in total a Motorhome can add to the chassis.

I say let's give them a try in game after they're live and give Sam feedback, rather than criticize something that no one even owns yet...

Real world comparisons mean squat. Do you think a car can contain a laser system capable of destroying another vehicle? Do you think a lorry can do 245mph? No. Suspension of disbelief, LF.

The Box Van and Lorry are trade vehicles. The RV has obviously been designed more toward combat than either of them.

Edit: The RV will most likely have 172 total armor. Sorry I fail at math when drunk, I meant 132!

Your comparing apples and oranges, we’re not talking about lasers or max speed.

We’re comparing chassis to chassis.

While I would agree we don’t need to follow real life designs to the letter, why follow real world designs on some chassis and not on others? Why bother following any real world design at all since it’s a game and have super strong Mckenzies with 500 armor and weak Fire Trucks with 84 armor. If you don’t have consistency, things just start to become a mess. If you keep ignoring real world comparisons DW starts to lose its roots as a dirty and gritty post apocalyptic car combat game based on what it would be like if such an event occurred.

That motorhome model is the Winnebago from the 70s.... tons of metal. Built tough... a bunch of us guys took one to a work picnic a few states away years ago...trust me...they are pretty sturdy, hehe.

No. I'm making a point that real world comparisons mean squat, since if we wanted them all realistic the game would be very different.

I fail to see the problem of adding a motorhome that fits a similar combat to the ambulance, with less engine power and armor.

Not to mention you're complaining about it without even having used it in game to see how powerful/weak it is.

However, the bottom armor gets damaged when it goes over bumps, and not the front.

You mean, like a car realistically should when it goes over bumps?

Nope, I mean how every single car in the game besides that one takes damage to the front when it goes over.

I always found that weird too, I've never been in a car where the front scraped the ground when going over speed bumps, only the bottom.

If all vehicles suffered bottom damage, nobody would survive any travel would they, maybe not realistic, but a game mechanic, yep suspension of belief. I have to use it every time i see a laser.
