    I commented before about using it and watching this review I see it mirrors many of my thoughts. While I've never had the FEMM flip or tip, I've come close but for some reason that back end held it from going over. Usually this is the result of hitting terrain and that front end snapping to one side causing you to drive off the road to correct.
    This truck handles different than almost every other truck in the game. It's got power for days but you gotta be careful with it or it will be the one controlling you.
    I still don't have the Diff-lock for it yet but dropping it into high gear has kept it pushing though the difficult terrain when auto starts to slog down.
    I haven't taken enough damage to wear the engine down but I did notice that because of it's size that you are unaware of just how much weight you're moving around and the slightest tap on something will nickel and dime that engine. It doesn't seem to have a lot or resistance to damage. But, with that engine drinking a ton of gas, most of my trips have been short to medium length, so I get it in for repairs a lot.
    I just did a mission last night where I compared the time and results between it and the Twinsteer (with the JAT tires) and frankly the Twinsteer is a lot more stable now and that I might still use it for quick jaunts if I need 4 cargo instead of the FEMM.

    I just finished my driving an hour ago. As you said, the FEMM is absolutely bonkers. It does make the WS Twinsteer a bit obsolete, especially since it can't tow trailers. I do think it's inclusion is bit unnecessary, as it's basically the completely outclassing the competition, with the possible exception of logging and fuel tank size (the Mack Defense has a bigger fuel tank than it and it's tiny in comparison). I will use it a bit, but I think I will go back to my smaller trucks soon. The MTB is a special one. Just this season is when I got back into scouting. With the JAT tires, it became fun again as it buffs all smaller scouts which is highly necessary. I drove the Neo Falcon, as it is also an Indian vehicle like the MTB. To unlock the MTB I scouted a lot with the Falcon and it turns out I absolutely love it. Sure, it's kinda mid, but it has decent tire size, switchable AWD and is decently balanced. For a B power rating it get's going quite nicely on the road and offroad it's going fast, but not so fast that it spins it wheels too much. Towing the radar trailer also went well, with the MTB struggling a bit more. I think the MTB is a worse Neo Falcon, mainly because it drinks more fuel due to the always on AWD and smaller fuel tank. Also visually I started to love the Falcon a lot as well. Great review of these two as always 👍👍

      Nothing makes the twinsteer obsolete my guy. The twinsteer is 4x faster than the femm and you dont always want to deal with trailers. It will always be one of the best trucks in the game.

    • @DoubleX8620
      @DoubleX8620 9 місяців тому

      @@heavyo6146 Fair enough , but I think the FEMM is pretty fast for the size. Yes, the WS is faster, but in the end, I think the Twinsteer needs a trailer hitch (to at least make it able to turn on the generator in the zone). I will most likely get back to using smaller trucks with the semi trailer. I find those a bit more comfortable to navigate than these huge trucks. I did use the Twinsteer a lot in the beginning when I didn’t have the ferry unlocked yet to get to the trailer store better. It did remind me that it’s pretty capable and I only flipped it once. As one of the originals and the poster child of the game, you’re right that it truly is an iconic truck which will keep driving if you’re careful with the terrain 👍

    One thing i do to avoid just using one truck is i don't change the Addons keeping them locked in one role so i can force myself to use other trucks for different roles. I normally use just spare duplicates of trucks i've picked up across the seasons for things like the seismic viberator and magnent scanner.

    Hey man, first time commentig One of your videos. But trust me i watched all your trucks reviews. Nice work!
    That being said...i think you were a bit to harsh on the Femm...like i can feel You don't want the truck in the Game.
    You compared a super heavy Femm with the 605R...come on now...
    Of course the 605r will win.
    Why not compare with the other super heavy Kenworth 963?
    Wich i love and thought was the King...before the arrival of Femm.
    That would be a more meaninful comparison 2 superheavys side by side.
    605R is a great truck but is not that versatile like Femm or Kenny.
    We need right now a comparison between Kenny and Femm.
    Anyway, love your work.
    Keep at it!

      @NProvince  9 місяців тому +4

      Hey glad you have been enjoying the content. It probably sounded harsh, but Im just describing my findings.
      So a few reasons I didn’t compare the Kenny because the Kenny lacks power and the 605R is actually the first of the super heavies to be put in the game.
      I used the 605R against the FEMM because they are some of the top performers in the class. Also being that a lot of folks wanted to know if the FEMM was the King or not.
      I actually think the 605R is as versatile as the FEMM they have similar amount of addons aside from the 605R not having a small crane.
      The Kenny overall is a great truck, but it wouldn’t stand up to those pulls against the FEMM. It’s been tested by myself and a few other content creators so I felt The Kenny is a good truck to compare to the Derry Special or the Mastodon being that the mastodon has the same torque and addons are well.
      I have even done comparisons on stream with the Derry special and the FEMM as well.
      IMHO the best heavy truck isn’t one that just has a bunch of addons.

    I got this scout yesterday using Mack Defense.
    I upgraded it and used it and it's not too bad but still doesn't beat Ford F750 with the best engine.
    As for FEMM it is very good and has good power and the articulated frame isn't that bad.
    I only use it for 4 slot cargo and for trailers i choose Derry Special or Ken.
    Is FEMM the best truck?
    In my opinion Kenworth 963 (Ken) is the best and i've seen in the game what this monster can do.

    I didn't like the Rock Grinder at all. It's slow, wobbly with the crawler suspension and has the same balance issues as the Scout 800 (loves to do a backflip). And its roof rack has less fuel than it should (based on the number of the jerry cans). Also, its difflock takes forever to find. I'm 42% through North Carolina and still haven't found the upgrade.

    The only unique thing FEMM adds is a 4 slot sideboard bed + trailer combination.
    It performs well enough in mud, but I just can't get over how twitchy it's articulated steering is. It requires constant high concentration to catch it instantly when a little rock or root decides to throw the cab to the side.
    In that regard even WS 9600 is a more relaxing vehicle to drive (if only it had a trailer hitch in vanilla).

  • @Skystrike1535
    @Skystrike1535 9 місяців тому +2

    I feel like alot of the stability issues with the 37-AT have been from the fact that its center of gravity moves as it turns, particularly with all 4 slots loaded. The frame and everything on it swings to the outside of a turn, the same direction the G forces at play are trying to push the thing during said turn, and in rough terrain thats also the same direction you'll usually be leaning to begin with. That being said if you need to just get a bunch of cargo through a giant mud hole, thats where it excels. As for the MTB, nothing special but nothing really against it either. Once I got it I did use it to scout the rest of the region and even without a diff lock it did alright.

    While I understand the inclusion of the uphill pull for testing purposes, is anyone even remotely going to use a high saddle on this truck ever? It makes the entire thing as pointless as can be since it has near zero utility that way. (Sure you could slap on the little scout trailer as you have, but at that point why would anyone not run the kenworth with the 1800 liter tank and the high saddle?)
    My one issue with the Femm personally is how it is a motion sickness inducing machine to drive sadly. Using mouse&keyboard its steering isn't as jarring and jerky, but on controller the turning is too fast and jerky and the camera swings too fast. In that sense I wish you could lock the camera to the front cab instead of the bed, this would fix that entirely.

    • @NProvince
      @NProvince  9 місяців тому

      That’s a good question. I do think folks will be drawn to use it as a high saddle. I think the issue with the Kenny in the configuration you mention would be its lack of pulling power on a grade (hill) as these. It really was just to show comparison and you’re right it will most likely be used to haul mass amounts of cargo. Also you make another great point with the jerky steering and the camera as well.

      @@NProvince Completely understand on the comparison bit, part of why I always eagerly await your vids. I suppose if I were to re-word it, I think the Femm is meant to just be more of a specialist for that 4 slot bed to the point where it falls outside regular comparisons?
      That aside though, overall I just find the truck to be lacking in utility, either a smaller fuel tank in front of high saddle similar to kenworth would have beena nice touch, or a long long attachment to spice things up would have made this more interesting to me personally.
      Then again, like you I am not that much into the big trucks, so back to my mack defense it is ( I own way too many of those..)
