Can we have chain winch?

[Abd al-Hazir]

Hi. I usually use winch to pull cargo after me. Sometimes I need to use winch to pull myself out of mud and really need second winch to pull myself with cargo.
In multiplayer its the same case. I pull cargo, Im stuck. My friend pulls me while I pull cargo. Even static one without pulling will be great.
People ask for this feature from 2017

Have you ever used a winch in real life? Do you know what it's for?

Why would you be pulling cargo on a winch? Are you going to deliver someone's cargo after dragging it across the ground behind a truck. Lmfao, thank God you're not a real truck driver. If you are, you probably work for UPS.

No, not adding a cargo winch. Sorry.

Not cargo winch, but static cable. Cars do it irl while one is unable to function. And nothing wrong if these "cables" connects several vehicles in sequence and one "winching". It's you who a strange one if you refuse that.

I think OPer is saying they want the ability for more than one winch connection. Like, in single player, two different winches on the same vehicle, pulling together for improved effect, or, in multiplayer, having three vehicles connected via winches.

Abd al-Hazir: You might try bringing a second truck along on really tough slogs. You can turn on the motor of the vehicle you're winched to and have both pulling. Sometimes hard to manage. Best to keep the connection really close and tight.

sounds more like he wants a tow bar or designated hitch cable just for dragging a vehicle, in using that, it frees up the winding winch cable.. or i could just be wrong, don't know....too stoned to really care too much about it

In any case being able to attach 2 cables on one vihicle would be great

I can see only a single occasion in which this could be actually useful in game.

Obviously if you have a trailer there’s no reason to pull it with a winch, clearly that’s not what trailers are designed for 😅

But…
There’s one type of mission where this can be useful.
When they ask you to recover and transport to a fixed location a broken vehicle.
The game is full of missions like “bring this completely trashed scout car to X location”.

I must admit that in some situations, especially in early game, I founded myself bogged down in deep mud with my truck and the towed vehicle was clearly not helping. As well as the fact that my only winch was connected to it instead of pulling me out of the mud.

Now, obviously I’m not an idiot, well, not that idiot, so I simply disconnected my winch from the towed car, pulled myself couple of meters forward, attached the winch back to the towed car and we both were out. But I admit that having a second wich would be helpful in this situation. Not indispensable but a quality of life improvenment.
Obviously you can argue that as it is right now you will be force to hone your skills, to which I also agree.
