Update Speculation thread

"All mothers of the world don't like this"

But i'ts also an awesome music group

 

Googled it. No regrets.

 

Yep, absolutely true! Inline-6s and coupe bodies (whether they were 2- or 4-seaters) were very popular in the Japanese car companies back in the 60s and they lasted right to the early 00s, when the last remaining Japanese sportscars (the Supra and the Skyline) were dropped due to the stricter emissions rules!

It's all of you. I beg to differ. Hehe!

 

oh we are all a little crazy
thats what makes forums fun!

 

Yep, joking a bit every once in a while adds in that special salt'n'peppa to our dialogues!

Now, back to speculation: I believe a "Fire Engine Update" would look lit (pun intended even in the abbreviation of the said Update: "FEU", French for fire)! The D-Series/H-Series Ambulances saying "Fire & Rescue" and the Roamer/LeGran Fire Chief variants are good but not enough. When the remastering time comes for the T-Series, some firetrucks (water tanker, ladder carrier and a special off-roader beast for the woods, Unimog-style) could very well be based on it.
This can also happen when an equivalent European Truck comes.
And there's more: the D-Series (plus any Bruckell competitor plus any smaller Euro/Asian Pick-Up that may come) can also have a firefighter variant for the woods, with a water tank and a couple of rolley hoses at the bed. Such a vehicle can be really useful for the Observatory in the ECUSA map. Plus, all the aforementioned American ones can also be useful for the Fog Hill Fire Station in WCUSA and the European/Asian ones (whenever they come) can be useful for the Vigili Del Fuoco station in Italy.
In general, they can be useful for Career Mode!

Plus, water sloshing activity in the tanks can prove interesting for the dynamic balance of the firetrucks!

 

yeah, the thing that got me was the tanker for the semi already simulates fluids, so if there was a fire engine, it would likely carry over these physics
plus, people have been asking for one since the dawn of time, if they snapped and make us a supercar after years of kids asking, whos to say they wont also go over the edge and throw a firetruck at us too?

 

they said they wont add fire trucks

 

No one "snapped" at the company. They're just simply trying to fill-in every car type & now it was time for a supercar

 

let me reiterate something. getting teasers is not a right, nor is it something you need to live.

 

Who said anything about needing a teaser to live?

 

it was more or less a joke on how alot of people asking for a modern supercar finally got their way after being repeatedly told it wasnt going to happen due to limitations

anything is possible, i doubt it would be this update but i could see it coming in later updates, its just they cant find much crash test footage of them

can i clarify i dont need a teaser to live, however, others might not fell the same...

That argument still frustrates me because it's literally just the slippery slope fallacy.

We have a cement mixer that doesn't pour cement and a fuel tanker that doesn't spill liquid or explode or anything and people don't seem to be up in arms about it, why should a fire truck be any different?

 

We also have the opposite example applied: the vehicles squirt fuel out of the fuel tanks once the latter get ruptured!

A modern supercar to be more precise, since we already have the classic supercar niche filled with the Bolide!

All the ingredients are there: liquid sloshing, liquid spilling, so they remain to be seen in firetrucks too!

Although, now that I think of it, the T-Series can only be the basis for the conversion-type firetruck. The other type is the one that's a thoroughbred firetruck, the cab-over one. I feel that Wentward is a better choice for making the thoroughbred cab-over type because the existing bus model, the DT40-L, shows that Wentward's expertise is in public utility vehicles.
Plus, Wentward uses Gavril engines (the 8.9 TCM Inline-6 Diesel in the DT40-L) so it gets somewhat easier.

 

I'm just the messenger. It's a official response from a og dev in regards to a fire truck (or any variation of what most people would call "fire truck"). Do I like that response and do I think it's a good reason. No. But it's the answer we have.

 

I was referring to the argument the devs provided, not to you, sorry if you took it that way.

 

One area I think fire trucks would be most possible in the game would be Light Rescue Fire Trucks.



They're a much simpler affair - mostly just a tool carrier equipped with a few onboard extinguishers and a small pump there in the back. There is no water tank onboard, and there are no deluge guns - only a short handheld firehose that must be hooked to a hydrant, which we wouldn't have the capacity to pick up and use anyway with the current walking system.

Really, I think community members are more interested in having something to drive as fast as possible to their inevitable accident scenes then they are in actually putting out fires. This would scratch that itch nicely.

In any case, I'm surprised that there hasn't been some sort of service body/utility bed added to the D-series. It'd be a handy thing to have, even outside of the fire truck. Those are used by electrical, phone, and other public utilities, the construction industry, park rangers, traffic control, and many other services. It's something that we know is possible from seeing the ambulances, and I was very surprised when it didn't make it into the D-series remaster.

 

A minipumper could also work, it's very similar, albeit with a small water tank, pump, and hose.

 

Can someone check if the databases, creators something etc has been updated lately, been awefully quite for a while.
