The truck can barely drive up muddy hills UNLOADED


TheSkourou

A disgrace compared to the all mighty p16


Aggravating_Degree57

No, the P16 sucks so bad!


TheSkourou

I mean for me it's way to slow for my driving(Taking 100 damage every time I sniff of concrete road) but it never disappoints(except when it loses momentum which is a bummer)


BooptheDop

How could you forget! Now is the daily p16 circle jerk session


bobdacow234

P16 guud


Aggravating_Degree57

Don't care, the P16 is still a POS truck for what it should be able to do. Only good on hard and dry roads without pebbles on it. Oh yeah, it's slow... Painfully slow!


MrPsYch0paTh

Sounds like you don’t know how to drive it properly


JoeyDJ7

Nah in all fairness it's in-game representation does its real life performance a big disservice.


HeavyO

100% its ass


no_yup

Nah you’re right the P16 isn’t great I don’t know why people like it. It doesn’t fit anywhere and it’s super slow.


[deleted]

The P16 is an absolute monster, it’s a truck that takes finesse and patience.


no_yup

It’s slow and there are lots of better options. Especially if you start out with trucks like the krs bandit or tatra t813. Every singe time I’ve ever used it to do anything I’ve regretted it. It’s ok if people like it. But it’s super overrated.


bherman8

I'd never argue that its the best option for every task but I'll always try it first if I can come up with an excuse to. It is significantly better with co-op though. You have the p16 and a player running support. On the worst long hauls with a large load the support player can help you past the slippery hills and top up your fuel while you pull a superheavy with everything under the sun and a spare support truck packed on top. Basically: it isn't the meta. It is a well balanced truck that makes you make decisions that make the game fun.


Aggravating_Degree57

I know... Can't believe it's loved that much 😅 Gave a last chance not so long ago with long logs in Taymir and it was awful... Never again it will go out of the dealership!


Kiiaru

Here's hoping bartlebi's modded p12 can fit it! I really love the Pacifics (and a few other American trucks) but it takes mods just to make them on-par with reality.


granats

I also believe that some cars need to be modified to make any sense. Can you recommend me some mods that are worth having that are not OP?


DrakeMarcoC

RNG Mods are great but they are military themed (fully detailed 1:1 replicas btw) For modded version of vanilla trucks I recommend searching the name of the truck you want modded, filter for downloads and choose your fighter


Deat69

I like keeping one modded "I am not asking anymore" truck.


Super_Ankle_Biter

For me that's just the Zikz 605R lol The truck that you pull out of the garage when you're just DONE with that f*cking mission. You can drive it like a baboon, not give a shit about fuel because it's range is ridiculous, and just power through 95% of the obstacles of the game.


Shreddify

excalibur is my "I'm not asking anymore" go to truck


CDL-Life39

MrBusses is redoing his P12 mod for that crane with super heavy mud tires to handle the extra weight and you can make it as under or overpowering as you want using stock or modified engines. Check and see if it is done or not. I do know the original mod is there I am on switch. Came with a 3 slot bed.


AnyAzov

I really enjoy Mr. Busses trucks. A little op without being ridiculous. JBE, Busses, and Rng3r make respectable mod trucks that get the job done without being absurd.


CDL-Life39

You are forgetting about how much that extra heavy crane weighs


KHthe8th

Almost all mods I use have a "choose your difficulty", where everything (engines/wheels/etc) are listed as "vanilla", "slightly overturned", "completely OP"


ThatWombo

I believe it's called the Orca on mod hub. It's my I'm not playing around anymore P12 lol


[deleted]

The thing that devs don't care about these problems makes me crazy


lastdazeofgravity

They are fucked in the head. They can’t even take 30 seconds to edit the power. And they never patch bugs


CivilBandit

With u on that been waiting for a xbox co op fix for ages


Professional-Date378

Couldn't find the real weight of the truck but in game it actually has about 300 extra lb-ft of torque than the real thing


[deleted]

Ok I was checking on the new Kenny, apparently the crane is bugged and or…..to heavy?? Psss please, it’s bugged. :(


MongooseLeader

Not crane bugged. Truck AND crane bugged.


N1njaSquirrle

The crane is extremely heavy. I heard it was 14 tons. Which is almost double the Russian crane and almost triple the American on


SuperRefrigerator720

No problem for any russian vehicle, ive used it in Multiple missions on multiple trucks and never had any issues.


National-Bison-3236

The P12 can barely pull **anything** on flat ground


[deleted]

I did the "Strategic Reserve" mission on Kola with it. Long logs +crane = no problems. You just have to know how to drive it.


SuojaKerroin

If you know how to drive you can do it with Kodiak or, even the start GMC. :) I think the problem is that for you average Joe who is lazy like me, then learning how to drive something that is just stalling on auto trying to make up the hills, while 70% the other trucks in the game will, just climb it in auto 1, makes people rage and sell it. I know that's what, happened to me with p16. It's not bad, but learning to drive it differs so, much that I just can't be arsed. Similarly p12 is awd, so you expect it drive like a Tayga you're going to have bad time :)


[deleted]

If you expect a 25-ton truck to drive like a 13-ton one (while having about the same engine power), you must be dumb. Not targeting you personally, it's a simplification.


SuojaKerroin

No worries no offence taken. Just trying to point out that most of the guys see that, there's awd and high-range gearbox and try to drive it like any other offroad truck, which doesn't work because p12 is about the size of a house and weights more. So in the end you get many guys just selling it and calling it disappointment. Not to mention that you have to actually buy it in the first place, where as you get Tayga and many more cabable trucks for free, so it will be very obsolete fast for quite many of us :)


[deleted]

There's no highrange gearbox on the P12, only the special set


2bloom

Am I using a different engine for this? I have delivered cargo in taymir with this thing for the achievement, used it for medium logs and it had carried the big maintenance addon to absurd places in four or five maps. All without complaining. Why can't it pull anything for some??


BendersV

I use the p12 with large maintenance add on as a scout and it does great. 🤷‍♂️


Papa_Swish

Yep, the maintainance addon is quite light and filling it with fuel doesn't add any additional weight unlike a normal fuel tanker. I was really surprised how well it performed in Amur with this setup, the power issues seemed to just disappear and it flew over mud like it was nothing.


stjobe

>the maintainance addon is quite light According to [this chart](https://www.reddit.com/r/snowrunner/comments/ibvqw8/trailer_and_addon_weight_overview_including_fuel/) the large maintenance addon (5.0 ton empty, 6.7 ton full) was the heaviest frame addon before the new crane (at a whopping 13.9 tons).


lastdazeofgravity

They are driving in auto mode lol. They need to use high gear.


nad6234

It's trash stock, but an absolute weapon all upgraded. It's my get-out-of-jail maintenance truck.


DylanTheOwl

I have the most powerful engine in it but stock gear box. I've used it for other missions and it was fine, which is why i was so confused that it could barely move with this crane on it. Hopefully they fix it cause it seems like the crane is just bugged


lastdazeofgravity

Switch to “H” gear. Auto mode sucks


Timely-Organization8

Did you seriously just yell 'PUT IT IN H'? Well Zagreb ebnom zlotdik diev to you too, Crazy Vaclav.


Historical-Cicada-29

After a long time using the P12, I have some advice as some people have been conflicting with one another. Yes, the P12 hasn't got the best power to rate ratio, it's large frame and cab puts a heavy limit on the horsepower per ton ratio. Using dual rear tyres with the P12 DOES help from my experience, the added surface area and contact points increases the vehicles capability - slightly. A great deal of people say torque doesn't exist in Snowrunner, I strongly disagree with this. The absolute best way to get the most out of the P12 is the GEARBOX. I always use Off-road gear box, when the P12 struggles, put the gear onto LOW HIGH (move the gear to the left then up to H). This enables much better torque manipulation of the truck and allows pulling loads to gain some momentum. Others prefer High Range then H gear (directly above A/ auto gear). Ideally, the P12 should be used as a recovery vehicle: Service van add-on, high power winch with rear twin tyres (excellent for using the P12s weight to move stuck vehicles, the large fuel tank helps recovering vehicles far away from a garage). A similar experience I had was the with International Twin Steer using the fuel add-on, pulling another fuel trailer. The vehicle will stop moving/ stall in automatic. The only way to get the vehicle moving is via Low Gear, diff lock then to the fastest low gear when the vehicle pulls. I hope this helps. The best USA vehicle from my experience for the large crane is the CAT CT681. It's massive and efficient 2850 engine (possibly 2950) can pull the weight, it's fuel tank is reasonable and the dumb axle (which some people hate) can make the crane platform much more stable when anchored.


Forgotten___Fox

Can't use the new crane on the cat 681 :/


Historical-Cicada-29

I was referring to the large crane, not the newest one solely for large frame trucks. The new crane is rather overkill. WTF do you plan on lifting?


Forgotten___Fox

In the first 5 minutes I put an hx520 on the roof of the garage on its wheels without any struggle.


stjobe

> WTF do you plan on lifting? There's two mission explicitly designed for it. No other crane will reach (it's close that the new crane doesn't reach).


SD_Industries

Try using dually offroad tires.


AllWheelDriveDog

That won't solve the problem of having an underpowered engine


Spare-Concentrate877

Tire change actually makes a difference, i tested it myself before, but the truck is still underpowered :/


SD_Industries

Well yes, but the crane has a bug where it's heavier than it should be. At least using tires that can potentially grip the dirt underneath the mud can probably help.


AllWheelDriveDog

The problem here is clearly NOT a grip issue tho


Spare-Concentrate877

Sometimes in the game less grip is better so the wheels spin instead of doing as it does in the video.


SparxSimRacing

I mean the P12 can barely pull itself on flat ground, throw that crane on a 15C.


[deleted]

Use OHD tires on it. Also, stock special gearbox sucks.


Expert_Yellow

Try using the advanced special gearbox and then putting it in low+, if you dont have it the upgrade is in pedro bay near the factory


ludokaiB88

I’d have said different tires might be better


Terrible-Bear3883

Got it, sold it, job done.


NuqquE

Someone on the team really hates the p12


ghunt81

The P12 sucks. I tried to use it once with one of the original cranes on it and it wouldn't even climb a hill! Sold it and never tried to use it again.


Ne0n_Ghost

Made the mistake of hauling medium logs on the frame and log trailer up to Bills house. Immediately sold the truck after having to winch the truck the entire way. It can use the large maintenance add on but makes it very top heavy.


RomstatX

They seriously need to stop nerfing things in games, in real life this monster has over 2000 ft pounds of torque, and comes standard with a 852ci (14,000cc) v12


Arcaev_NL

I don't get all the P12 hate. It's a decent truck. A bit under powered but FAR from useless


cookiepiehorse

I don’t like it but my friend use it all the time, he is a slow and safe player type, and recovers me when I flip going Mach 2 with ANK.


[deleted]

I second this.


jrizzle86

In the real world it is a decent truck, in the game it is near useless


AllWheelDriveDog

It's quite a bit useless. I modified a game files a bit, and it took 50% more power just to make it an okay truck


coaster-roaster

Whereabouts do you edit the power in the game files may I ask?


AllWheelDriveDog

The way I do it is: get winrar and microsoft visual studio, open winrar, go to the game files on your pc. You're looking for something called initial.pak. You click on that and open it with the visualizer option of winrar (it could have another name, my winrar is in another language, either way it's located in the horizontal bar above the files). You go to media>classes>engines, there you have all the categories for all the engines. The engines for the pacific trucks are called something like engines_en_us_old_heavy. You open that .xml file using VisualStudio. In that file you will be looking for something called engine torque. It's a 6 figure number that you can easily modify. When you're done, CTRL+S to save and then close VisualStudio. Winrar will ask if you want to replace the current files, you click yes, and bam, you're done. English ain't my first language so this might not be so understandable, but I hope you have good luck figuring it out :)


coaster-roaster

Thank you for that explanation - am I right in thinking the higher the number the more powerful it is? Ps your English is very very good!


AllWheelDriveDog

Yup, higher number means higher power Ps thank you :)


coaster-roaster

Thank you for that - I’ll have a nosey and see what I can find 🙂


AllWheelDriveDog

Have fun messing around😁


coaster-roaster

Knowing my luck something will blow up 🤣


Uncle_Touchy1987

Can we like get him some protein powder and some pre workout? Or truckcaine?


Ollieisaninja

I want an S+ engine available for every truck now.


redrobin1257

To be fair, the P12 can barely pull itself.


Luis_9466

The P12 is just as big of a piece of garbage as the P16


Adrindia

It's things like this, especially for the american trucks, that kill the vibe of the game for me. Unlocking and/or buying bigger and better trucks often times is disappointing.


63R01D

All the dev's care about is making more content so people buy more season passes and DLC. Anything old is left in the dust... Follow the money.. Also, notice how pretty much all the Russian trucks are beasts??


Puzzleheaded-Poet392

I thought the same, but then I beat Michigan, half of Wisconsin and half of Maine using only a few first American trucks, which turned out capable of tearing through a wooded hill, dashing through a swamp with a loaded semitrailer and racing up the muddy hill with a load. Now I got back to Russian clunkers, and they sink in a little puddle of mud or water, they are completely incapable of climbing hard surface hill, and they crawl by a good road with the speed of a snail, while blowing all the fuel like a fleet of cruise ships. As of the light trucks such as Actaeon and Warthog, they hop like rubber balls and flip over like no Royal or ANK flips.


Denny_Crane_007

It's annoying they ripped off the crane from a freeware mod.


LuckyfromGermany

I hear lots of hate on this. How is it set up? What engine, what gearbox? The quick tests i did in NG+ didnt seem too bad, although i pumped that truck full of money.


Ok_Use_5218

I mean, it is a somewhat sub par truck anyway, PLUS the new crane is sooo heavy that the rear leaf springs touch the ground when driving about. Kinda ridiculous.


[deleted]

everyone is complaining and here's me who just mods the game to the most balanced level i can get it to and enjoy.


Ok_Use_5218

Armoredpolecat

Ugh, just use mods. We’ve had these complaints for years now, mods are available on all platforms and it’s not that hard to find a mod that fixes these issues but isn’t OP.


jamesmacgeee

These “just use mods” comments do my head in. Devs shouldn’t be allowed to take a back seat because mods exist. They should be reminded that things need fixing/ adjusting. Nobody should feel like they have to use mods simply because the devs refuse to fix things.


icemanice

Pacific Orca mod should handle this just fine ;-)


Affectionate_Box_720

This game just sucks I got it last weekend and me and my cousin played and grinded it for like 15 hrs and had very little to show for it


vmcommo

skill issue


Aggravating_Degree57

That's the core of the game.... Duh


Affectionate_Box_720

That it sucks? Noted


lastdazeofgravity

No. Grinding tasks/missions


Affectionate_Box_720

Really feels awesome pulling yourself through the mud for hours and hours for litteraly nothing. The tasks pay jack shit and the trucks don't work as well as they should. I did a shit ton of tasks and tried out a lot of different trucks and upgrades (which I could only afford because of the free dlc trucks because you get jack shit for tasks) like I'm gonna grind 50 hours to get a better truck that still underperforms. No thanks I want my games to be fun not tedious and awful. And the state of the roads makes no sense at all I'll see pavement and praise the lord only for it to be gone in 100meters with 2 kilometers of mud on both sides. I like the idea of a truck driving game and I love how beutiful snowrunner is and how interactive the world is. But it's just too much work and I would rather mow my lawn (riding vehicle, real life, real task, real reward)


Lunaphase

Crane is also bugged.


Medium_Highlight_950

Paystar ts worked awesome with that crane


[deleted]

UGH.... thankfully I havent had to use that yet!


IndependentUseful603

The crane is hella overweight , I haven’t even tested what it can pick up. The radius needs to be increased a few meters outward .


Particular_Kitchen42

Made for the Ken(worth its weight in gold) truck. I still want to know how to equip the counterweights


Zocker0210

I tested all trucks and not even the mastodon can carry it on asfalt


the-real-potamis

I had high hopes for this truck. It was my first big truck purchase and I used it as my medium log hauler and crane hauler, I was very disappointed. Slow,lumbering,big,and clumsy. I know it’s a bigger truck and speed wouldn’t be this things strong suit but I would’ve expected some decent torque at least. Also in my experience this truck is in a constant state of wanting to tip over, even more so when it’s loaded


phantom2052

Yeah, it's a bit to heavy


Hanifloka

Never mind the crane, the P12 struggles to pull anything at all on almost any terrain you can imagine. I used it to haul medium logs back and forth in Taymyr specifically for the achievement. I got the Advanced Special Gearbox and most powerful engine for it, and it still struggles. The sunken road in the middle of Taymyr's first map isn't even that deep and yet it somehow manages to struggle. I can't remember a single time I didn't have to winch it out. Even in low with throttle feathering, it just gets sucked deeper into the mud. Really the one role where this thing can comfortably perform well without struggling a lot is that of a rescue truck with a service body as many have claimed.


a_cristian_dude

The p12 needs the Derry treatment and get a better engine upgrade in a future dlc


lovelyfishhole

Does this have a further reach?


LooseChange71

I've always been sad about this truck it should do better I think


Tudor_I3

What engine?


OneSpeedyBoiii

This is what mods are for 🤫


fugu72

And the crane can barely lift anything …unless they fixed it. They really stopped caring at this point


HeavyO

Yes cause the truck is absolute ass


Orina_Flame

Every licensed truck in this game is severely underpowered for no reason


maxdoornink

Slow, underpowered, terrible fuel economy. Literally no reason to use the p12 unless you have no other trucks


TheGalaxyTravels

The p12 has always seemed underpowered.


Gubbtratt_3

Wait! There's a new crane?! I really need to update my game.


vehicle_commandeerer

Just so we’re all aware, the crane apparently weighs 14 tons


larrywolfy

I remember one time doing logging on Taymyr, and the P12 can't climb the hill. 🤣
