What is the pros and cons of each vehicle?

[Skye_Izumi]

As of now there are four cars in DayZ all with their strengths and weaknesses.

So far I have driven a Olga, Gunter and Sarka, this is what I think the pros and cons are for them, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

What I have found is.

Olga: As got the best storage space so far, probably the most powerful but I don't know because due to the infamous server lag, I keep to 20 kmh while going though villages, towns and cities, and around 50 to 60 kmh on the open roads, it's weakness is probably that it handles like a boat and it's brakes would be weak for that type of car, again correctme if I'm wrong.

Gunter: Has the best fuel tank by far, it takes about 2 to 3 jerry cans to fully fill it's tank, it might only be beaten by the Truck and Bus when they are brought back (I hope), maybe the Minivan too, however the Gunter lacks power, hill starts are very difficult, I stop on a steep hill in Svet, couldn't get it to move forward no matter what method I used for hill starts.

Sarka: Has the best chance of surviving a crash, because it's most important components are in the back, battery, spark plug, radiator and engine, has almost all crashes involve the front of the car and that it can still drive on ruined tires, the important components remain undamaged, the Sarka can drive away from a crash. In terms of this cars cons, I don't know, tell me what they are if you've driven one.

ADA: I've never driven this car, but as it's a 4x4 it has to have the best off road and hill climbing performance, probably the car to have if your base is far off road in the forest, and almost certainly the car to have on Livonia.

Which of the four cars do you prefer? If I've missed anything out about these cars let me kniow.

ADA is nice due to it being able to carry a spare wheel under the hood, also you can trap players in the back seats which is funny. can be top heavy at high speed on sharp corners though.

I only play on my private server with a few friends so lag is not much of an issue unless someone is spawning in -- in which case you need to park until they finish spawning in or end up wrecked. There is some occasional rubber banding when driving into a new zone and Zs and critters and loot spawns but it is usually not a major issue even though we have Zs, Wolves, Bears and Loot cranked W-a-a-a-y up.

I prefer the Olga for the 400 slots for everyday use. On the coast highway or the main east-west road you can easily cruise at 100+ KPH...brakes work well too when you see that checkpoint or blind curve coming up that you forgot about ;)

The ADA is great as a UTE vehicle with the four wheel drive and so it definitely comes in handy.

I am not so sure the gunter has good miles per gallon.. I am using alot of that gas, it may need that much to not run out!

My take on this.

Olga....drift machine, good if you know how to do it to get rid of infected without having to get out first. +33% storage capacity.
Gunther...really quick accelerating car and reaches top speed pretty quickly. The easiest to control even in corners.
Ada...good for offroading if you know how to drive.
Sarka.....meh...take everything the other cars aren't and puts it in one tiny package.

Again the Sarka is good at surviving crashes, I know because I have crashed one pretty hard to the point it almost killed me, and I was able to drive it away again, where every other car would have been completely totalled.

So the Sarka isn't completely useless and I will claw at any one who thinks it is, because it certainly isn't.

I didn't mean the crash. It's slow on acceleration, needs ages to get to top speed. Well maybe those are plus points for those who can't drive.
It's true that it's more difficult to destroy components because everything except the radiator are in the back....but i did manage exactly that. Don't ask how.

You are right. It isn't completely useless because it also has 300 slots of cargo.

The truck and bus are still confirmed? Hope for 500 spaces at least.

i remember in 0.63 all the truck parts spawning already :(
the transit bus suddenly appeared as 5th vehicle in the types.xml file with 1.07. might be a sign it comes with the next patch.

Gunter can hit 190 so by far the fastest car and my favourite, you just can't stop on hills as long as you keep going it works good off road. I haven't used the ADA I'm awhile but it used to perform well off road.

if u have a car u might want to drive it offroad and hide it in the woods when u logout. just for this reason the lada beats them all.

Lets hope so. party bus was much harder for people to hide so you could find them easier

Fixed: The action "Jump out" was disabled from the back seats of the ADA 4x4

Drive it off road and take it's spark plug.

I corrently have a Gunter, but I'm in search of a ADA for it's off roading ability, so I can find a nice secluding location for a base no one will travel to.
