Can the nightshark ram like the insurgent?

Doesn't really feel like it does.

Imo from my limited time in the Nightshark it feels like it has more speed but less weight & torque, so when it rams something it seems to slow down more than an Insurgent but it speeds up faster after.

I haven't tested it that's just how it feels to me.

 

 

Maybe i'll try to get some actual evidence of that tonight.

Nothing rams like an Insurgent. Well, the MOC maybe.

Phantom Custom rams a lot better than the Insurgent, double that if you're hauling the MOC.

 

I'd say the Nightshark is between the Insurgent and the Duke O'Death in terms of ramming power.

The Firetruck has always been a battering ram on every 3D Grand Theft Auto game - it's got speed, acceleration and a decent amount of weight (mass of 7500) and when you combine all this with ageing, squeaky brakes, it's a decent battering ram. This, as well as the one's I've starred below would be my personal choices.

 

Mass is really the most deciding factor - for example, you could set the mass on the Grotti X80 Prototipo from 900 to 90,000 and crashing into vehicles head-on will explode them instantly (this is only possible in GTA V (single player) on PC). The Insurgent's mass is 8600 as a reference and that applies to all variants of it.

 

Some other options:

 

MTL Brickade (mass of 14,000)

JoBuilt Phantom Wedge (14,000)*

JoBuilt Phantom/ Hauler Custom (12,000 and 11,000 respectively)*

 

Then you've got these, which have the "ramming ability" but may need a bit more time getting up to speed:

 

Armoured version of the Maibatsu Mule (from the Heists update, mass of 12,500)

HVY APC (10,600)

Bravado Half-Track (10,000)*

HVY Barracks Semi/ Barracks OL (10,000 and 9,000 respectively - yes, the truck is lighter than the cab). There's some others in this area but they're a bit slower in terms of performance, so discredited them.

 

Other references:

HVY Nightshark has a mass of 4400*

Imponte Duke O' Death has a mass of 5000

Karin Kuruma (Armoured) has a mass of 3200.

 

Monster trucks (both) have a mass of 4000

Vapid Guardian has a mass of 3800

And finally, the Benefactor XLS (Armoured) has a mass of 3000.
