Why only Semi-trailer? Warum nur Sattel?

[CoregaTab]

I love this game, but would like a wider selection of truck types and trailers. For example, trucks (Road trains) that can use articulated drawbar trailers and not just semi-trailers.

Ich liebe dieses Spiel, hätte aber gerne eine größere Auswahl an LKW arten und Anhänger. LKW die z.b. Lastzüge mit Gelenkdeichselanhänger nutzen können und nicht nur Sattel.

Luckily for you, those trailers exist in the game, just not pulled behind a lorry without a fifth wheel. But also luckily for you, such combinations can be driven with mods.

Across Europe single trailers behind a tractor unit is the norm with only Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands allowing the use of double's.

It would be great to get Rigid trucks with or without drawbar trailers into the game though and, since the introduction of ownable trailers, they have been technologically possible (a rigid truck would be able to load with cargo the same as an owned trailer) so it is only really an issue of getting the licencing.

It looks like the translation was wrong.
I mean Rigid trucks. That would be great. I like how they drive and I like the different how to drive backwards with trailer.

Needs licencing. No licence = no truck.

Also, they are a pretty central european thing in long haul, which the game is about. In the other countries I came along in my very travel-intense life (Poland, Denmark, Britain, Benelux, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia) they are mostly a thing only in Benelux and the German speaking neighbour countries. The rest uses them mostly locally. So they may not be highest ranking on the prirority list anyways. But that only SCS knows.
