Is a thread really necessary for this topic?

 

Can't it belong in one of the pre-existing "Insurgent" threads?

no, there must a new thread for every opinion regarding heists

 

 

Yes... I've been a fool.

 

Been on this forum for 8 years and completely forgot about this nonsense, you're right!

If you look at the front axle, you can quite clearly see it has a differential. Only a driven axle would have a differential. The fact that they made it look like it should have 4WD means that it's pronably an oversight that it doesn't, and hopefully, Rockstar will fix this. But for them to fix it, they need to know there's a problem, so make sure you report this to Rockstar.

on ps3 its awd, ps4 it's rwd. Probably just a bug.

No it's not AWD on PS3. I have mine fully modded, place it against a wall and hit gas and only the back wheels spin, the front wheels don't do crap.

 

If it's 4X4 then it's like the Mesa with a 10% power split to the front at best, which is so little power it's virtually 2WD anyway and not worth calling 4WD.

 

To me if the front wheels doesn't have enough power to actually spin and help drag your truck/car up a hill, then it isn't 4X4.

Placing it against the whall means nothing

Only real test is when flipping it on its back and then giving gas

Again what good is that? What good is power to the front wheels if they only spin when the truck is flipped, how does that help anything?

 

Any true 4X4 will succeed with the wall test and have all 4 tires spinning. If the front tires doesn't have enough power while on the ground to help drag you, then how can you really call it 4X4? Would you be satisfied with that in real life? Telling your buddies "well, I can make the front wheels turn if I jack them off the ground..." No.

 

In this game the minimal for 4X4 seems to be a 20/80 split, that's what the Sadler and Picador are and those two barely passes the wall at that, needing full performance upgrades to get front wheel spin. 10/90 like on the Mesa is useless, the front wheels does nothing to help the Mesa and the Insurgent is even worse off again.

 

The way this game seems to be anything 4X4 needs to be 20/80 at least. Anything less why even call it 4X4?

If you want to get technical, smart ass, 4x4 isn't even a thing. 4x4 is actually only 3x4. You must have an AWD setup to have control/adjust the front and rear balance of the powertrain.

Rwd on ps3. Got stuck on rocks and stuff like 3 times.

Use your head, the Insurgent is so strong, you can blast it off the rock that it is stuck on with stickies, granades or RPG's. And then just move along like nothing happend. Know your car.

That is true but 4X4 and AWD is all the same in GTA, your either AWD or your not.

 

I don't see why I gave you any ready to get defensive, I've merely stated that if R* is gonna make something 4X4, they need to set certain boundaries and 20/80 power split seems to be the minimal in this game for really calling anything 4X4. Under that the front wheels does not have power to assist the back and vehicles come off as 2WD even if technically 4X4 (see Mesa and I think Bobcat).

4 wd just means all wheels are powered i beleve....

It doesnt need to be 50 50 to be called like that

That being said, i dont beleve we have one single 4wd vehicle in the game were the power is split 50 50
