More upgrade slots - bayanofmansorofisky - 2023-05-12 07:25

Suggesting more upgrade slots for mod HILL0X IV
As it's a full utility and a civilian Pickup.
It can only attach either a winch or a ramp.. Wich is never enough for a tow job.
Suggested Needed slots to accommodate Wich, ramp and bridge at least.

I think that's a reasonable suggestion

Suggesting to allow all equipment on a vehicle that is marginally bigger than a sedan? Which would literally render the whole system pointless?

No. Buy a bigger car.

Could I suggest that pick-up trucks and estates should get an extra 5 slots from 10 to 15. At the moment all you can fit on those types of cars is a winch and one battery. This means that I can only winch one person before I have to go and recharge at least half my battery before coming back to winch someone else. 10 slots also means that we can't even fit a ramp on mid sized vehicles and makes getting ramps placed in tight spaces a nightmare with the mun firetruck or any other big rescue vehicle.

10 slots = winch + battery
15 slots = winch + 2x battery / ramp

A winch at the front and ramp/bridge would be easily doable for a pick-up truck.

The bridge is quite big to fit even on a pickup truck imo but the ramp would make sense as most ramps are foldable and could easily fit in the pickup bed.

Winch and ramp seems more than reasonable for a pickup. It’s essentially a 4x4 size so seems excessive being able to carry a ramp and bridge. Large vans and bigger should be able to take all 3. As we’ve said before it gives the trucks an actual purpose.

Wel having a ramp and a winch at least would be better that having only winch for such a diverse vehicle.
It helps with the roleplay considering it having ambulance and a fire truck configurations

I still think a full size ramp is large for a 4x4 vehicle. I have a Sprinter van for carrying a winch and ramp. The Fire Engine and Crane lorry for bridges.

I'm sure these would fit in the back of a pickup truck no problem. These are what's used to get cars onto trailers btw.

I get your point but to be picky that’s not the sort of ramp we use in game. Maybe we could use a smaller ramp setup with two of the skinny ramps for smaller trucks to carry?

This is true, but this is where the team work comes in or using the specialist vehicles which are able to do such jobs. Otherwise, the old-school towing is the way.

It's a "small" truck, but realistically it could be equipped with a winch and a ramp. It's large enough to accommodate the ramp(s) on the bed of the truck. The Korama R is in the same situation.


RE: More upgrade slots - Josh - 2023-05-20 19:49

It would work but tbh you may as well just use a full size ramp given the choice. I still prefer the current setup as it gives the bigger trucks more of a purpose.
