Low HP Trucks.

[Crazy_Werewolf]

Hi,

i only want to ask if its "okay" to drive a Truck with not that much power?

For Example: 310 HP. Am i risking to get banned?, because that truck will not be the fastest by any means. 

 

Hope this is the right Place in the Forum.

 

Thanks

Hello, you can't get banned for going slow. So the answer of your question is its okay, you are free to use low hp trucks.

Haha, nope. Do whatever you want to your truck. Some seem like to drive 110 km/h continously and max out their engines, some like to go realistic with an according realistic smooth acceleration.

 

Don't listen to any idiots complaining in chat. They're just mad because they're not able to go their max speed. (For some reason? Well I like to go fast too, but i'm doing it in Singleplayer on the Autobahn with the Skoda )
(I've seen people say that you should go 150 km/h because otherwise you endanger players to overtake you; as this might seem true, please keep in mind that you are not the problem in this situation, they are the problem. ETS2 is a simulation game, its made to simulate trucker life and not the life of a formula 1 driver. If they think its 'normal' or a way of 'simulation' to go the max possible speed and drive as reckless as possible, then they should do it. Nontheless, they'll get permanently banned any day.)

That´s good. Thanks for the answers.  I will "write" it in the player tag though. 

Thanks

It is okay, and you're not risking to get banned for driving slow.

You are not at all at risk for getting banned for driving a truck with that amount of horsepower. However, out of precaution I would recommend to stay away from busy areas such as Calais, Duisburg and the road in-between, C-D.

I would like to ask why? There isn't any rule which prohibits slow driving even in areas such as Calais, Duisburg and the road in-between, C-D.

It's his recommendation, not a rule.

I'm not blind buddy. I saw what he/she wrote but I've got a question why he/she recommends him/her to stay away from areas such as D-C road or Duisburg and Calais cities.

[FernandoCR [ESP]]

I'd recommend the same thing to anyone who wants to have a peaceful game experience, no matter what truck they decide to use, for a very simple reason: It's where most of the trolls and the "Idiots on the road" are every single day.

There is a very simple answer to this. We as a community know the chaos that ensues on C-D as well as the cities as a whole. As a polite community member said, it is a recommendation. I recommend that they steer clear from the aforementioned areas simply due to the fact that low HP trucks cannot quickly gain speed and cannot entertain the speed lovers that are driving on the same road.

Additionally, this comment was extremely unnecessary.

Hello dear xBestBBx,

From your statement, I understand that in order to drive on this road, I must have a powerful truck.

I have a question for you.

In real life, does every truck company drive all of their trucks with the most powerful engines? Everybody is supposed to recreate the simulation of the game, but in fact you are giving unnecessary recommendations. There must be collegiality on the road as in real life.

In my opinion, this is an unnecessary recommendation, solely because no rule prohibits slow driving or the use of a low-horsepower engine on the C-D road. I fully understand what you want to explain to me, but I do not see the point in your recommendation as I said. If a rule is made that forbids the things listed above, it will be understandable to absolutely everyone and it will be possible to punish for it. Another question on the basis of what I will be punished if, for example, I drive slowly on this road with a low-horsepower engine?

 

Greetings,

Oh and also as you should know there is a report button. You can use it and optionally write the reason of your report, there are forum moderators who will take care about me if they see any violation of any rule.

You don't have to follow his recommendation, and you don't need to have a powerful truck to drive there.

There are however many trolls and reckless driving players in this infamous area, and a slow moving vehicle would be an easy target for them and likely will take damage.

 

You can't be punished for slow driving, unless you intentionally block the way of another player.

@xBestBBx is a forum moderator, he will know how to handle forum rule violations.

[n0feaR.]

I will end here only because we all have different points of view and this discussion will never end.

not at all, just one recommendation is not to try and do heavy halls like the train or anything like that. but other than that use what you like with what power you like
