Gavril T75

The skewer is used to pick up the shrapnel then, so no one will expect that there was ever a crash.

 

..

Alternatively, you could just shoot them..

 

its got a flat nose...it will crush the vehicles into the wall for FUN!

 

That would be an interesting part to add, especially considering there are quite a few cars even here in America that have factory governors. For example, a 91'-96' Buick Roadmaster has a 118 mph limiter because it had crappy factory tires, and a Lincoln Mark VIII has a 130 mph limiter because of... death prevention? (both cars could theoretically reach ~145 mph without limiters)

Hopefully Drive will someday be a little more user friendly than the parts config menu, though.

 

You could shoot them with giant skewer-shaped ballistic tranquilizers, then ram them with the force of freedom and liberty.

For you Canadians out there, there will be a Canadian version with the tranquilizers, but it rams with the force of crystallized maple syrup and universal health care. (Just a joke, love you Canadians to death)

 

I assure you American trucks have limiters, back in the day it was the old swinging ball type, witch you could disable with a penny. now days its all electronic, but nothing you cant take out with a computer. American trucks are normaly limited at 56, 62, and 72, the modern limiters are set by the company that owns the truck, and sometimes the manufacture, but arnt required by law. a lot of guys disable or remove the limiters here for that reason as long as it dosent void the warranty.

really annoys the crap out of me, im limited to 62mph. the speed limit is 75mph. if your going slower than me you don't need to be on the highway, take a sideroad. I need to go as fast as possible so I get paid more, seriously, outta ma way!

 

are some trucks re-chipped so they can get above 100mph?

 

you just hook the rig to a programmer/computer and disable the limiter, or on some disconnect a wire or put it on a toggle. the truck has the power to do the rest. but yes some guys greatly increase the output of their engions via chips, pumps, injectors, boreing, strokeing, larger turbos, etc etc. most don't however, thease things get crap for mileage as is, no reason to lower it unless you really need the power. I get like 7mpg with an empty trailer an a little over 5mpg loaded, and my rigs a 2013!

 

I think a normal gun would be cheaper and easier..

 

from what my knowledge of weapons it takes a special .50AE round to crack an engine block at 20 yards...from what I have read haha

 

Use an Air Propulsion gun like in Just Cause 2. Now THAT will cause some damage. Not directly, but from the car flying and slamming into the ground.

 

Beautiful truck!
Reminds me of a model I used to drive in truck driving school when I first got my truck and bus driver's license.
Keep up the splendid work developers.

 

Haha. That is explicably awesome.

 

There is no limiters in American trucks?

Well, you should to remember than limiters came in Europe ~1996(?), until that, there was no limiters for tops-speed at all.

 

.50AE, skeptical. Not designed for penetration, ricochets heavily too. Its a handgun cartridge, a very beastly one. I'd expect it would struggle to hit the engine block at all having been deflected by the hood and all the other crap surrounding the block, would certainly damage said other crap though which might immobilise the rest of the car or might just not really effect it enough to prevent it getting away from the barbarians shooting at it

Want to take down a car. Use a rifle and not one chambered in some lightweight cartridge like the 5.56NATO so many nations seem to rely on. .338 Lapua Magnum can supposedly deal critical damage to the engine block of a humvee having just flirted with the bodywork, "other crap" and the dude standing in the way in the process.
.338 might work quite nicely for "Elephant Hunting" too then, having just watched said elephant brew up some more pigeon stew. Failing that you always have old faithful in the .50BMG or even better get ahold of this:

NTW-20. Wouldnt surprise me if bungie based halo's sniper rifle off of it (they look very alike). Chambered in 20*110mm, for comparison a .50BMG is 12.7*99. Now if this can't take out a T75 praying on innocent H45 Cabsters then nothing can

 

You made a mistake that isnt the worlds most destructive rifle...take a look into a history books...and you will find from Finland..the Lahti L-39...which fired a 20x138mmB bullet which to take out a Soviet T-34 tank at 1000m just so you know

 

Can't wait to haul some cars around with this bad boy. (assuming the trailer makes it into the game) 3 derby cars on the trailer headed to the arena?

 

I went to your page and I counted how many times you mentioned 'demo derbies'. You mentioned it 5 times out of 11 posts. We got the message already

 

I am waiting for this thing to be entered into a destruction derby vs some puny Pigeons...its gonna be a slaughter *Evil Laughter*

 

Didnt say it was worlds most destructive Size isn't everything. A .308 winchester will often fit a rifle chambered for 7.62mm NATO and vice versa, dimensionally they are near identical with the headspacing being just a hair larger on the .308win, yet the .308 winchester has near double the muzzle energy of a 7.62mm NATO. Same size yet one is far more destructive than the other. This is with a standard loading btw. Does mean if you buy a rifle intended for 7.62mm NATO and fire .308 from it, at first you may be fooled into thinking "ha these are the same", then you may realise that the kick is much worse than a 7.62 and then you blow your face off as the next round firing exceeds the rated chamber pressure for the rifle. Chambers for firearms are overbuilt, but not by that much, .308 in 7.62 has been known to cause severe injury to the shooter. The 7.62 NATO however will function in a .308. The same applies to a .223 remington and a 5.56 NATO but in this case it is the other way around with the "military" cartridge being loaded to a higher pressure than the "civilian" cartridge, a 5.56 from a .223 firearm may cause injury to shooter, a .223 from a 5.56 will fire just fine. One issue with .223 from a 5.56 firearm or 7.62 from a .308 firearm though would reside with semi automatic weapons which may rely on the higher gas pressures to cycle the action, the lesser powered cartridge will not always cycle properly.


If you want to get real picky. Lahti isn't the biggest rifle either and is infact less destructive than my example.
The HS.404 round fired by the NTW20 exits the barrel at 820m/s and has a bullet weight of 0.13Kg - 43824 Joules. The 20x128mmB round fired by the lahti exits the barrel at 800m/s with a weight of 0.12kg - 38522 Joules, so is infact ever so slightly behind even though it is physically larger. There is also the RT-20 which is chambered in the same HS.404 round but due to a longer barrel has a muzzle velocity of 840m/s - 46001 Joules.
Then if you go into really exotic chamberings there are even heavier hitters out there, rifles chambered in .950JDJ have been known to exceed 52000J.




Still, any of the above should be adequate for T75 hunting

If you want my gun maths to be more ontopic. Lets do some maths for the T75. Energy = 0.5*mass*velocity^2.
Mass for the T75 was estimated at 15000 pounds was it not? Converted to kilos and rounded off gives 6800Kg (I think the rounding is acceptable seeming as the mass was approximated anyway). Sub that into the equation with a velocity of 3.5 metres per second gives 41650 Joules, or somewhere between the Lahti and NTW-20. 3.5 metres per second is 7.8 miles per hour. So the rifles above are equivelant to a T75 moving at 7-8mpg, yet all focused on a small point 20mm in diameter
For comparison. Covet weighs 964.11 Kg, at 9.5m/s (21mph) it is approx 43500 Joules.
