new hirochi aurata looks like rockbasher, and has very similiar usage, but is way more maneuvrable. so, rockbasher now feels useless and can be deleted(it still can be available on repo like other deleted cocntent) just add rockclimbing oriented config to aurata
Their usage is far from similar. The Aurata is a desert UTV designed for dunes, while the Rockbasher is a rock racer/crawler/bouncer. The only similarity is that neither is meant to go on normal roads.
One is a small fun little I3 CVT offroader, the other is an american behemoth crawler with a V8 and a crapton of buttons. It’s as if you said to remove the Dunekicker because the D-Series has a trophy truck config.
If the Aurata was going to replace any vehicle in the roster, that would most likely be the Wydra, since both are ATVs. But thankfully, the devs are going to keep both around so that people who want to drive either can enjoy them as long as the game stays around. Honestly, I don't get the obsession with wanting to remove certain vehicles (most often the Wydra) in Beam. I don't like driving the Burnside very often because it overheats so often in standard configuration, which prevents me from doing longer or faster races for my base-model time trial sessions I like doing. But I don't want it gone - I just want it to be better (i.e. longer) and more distinct from the other big old American cars.
I'm aware of that, and I, too, would be majorly peeved if the Wydra was taken away - I adore driving around with both the big and small versions a lot, and the Wydra allows for many more options for traveling around maps and is such a unique vehicle compared to anything else in the game.
*in annoyed old guy voice* There’s too many Pessimas!!1! There’s the 90s one, the 80s one, and then both have these Penith variants or whatever! That’s too much
probably just someone who doesn't know the difference between crawlers and UTV's and just thought they looked similar despite having completely different engines
