How to win Demolition / Last Man Standing ? ( Realistic Damage )

[GR|M " 死神 " Reap3R]

I be honest, I'm still new to the game, I'm only driving a " Rocket " only have the most Basic armor, I need to be Level 12 to upgrade my armor.

I'm actually having hard time winning Demolition / Last Man Standing. Is it me that suck ?
Or it's my car still not ready for such races ??

Is there some sort of trick ?? Because I tried everything, I even avoid ramming into the front of enemies, but the sides instead still no different, each time I deal damage I'm receiving as much damage myself ! Thus I will end up being wreck as well....

Is there some sort of point / area I should attack instead ??
Like in The Crew 2 Demolition Derby, always AVOID THE FRONT, that's the armor, the SIDE / REAR is the soft spots. Or the TIRES, you can take out enemy tires and they will have a huge disadvantage.

But in Wreckfest I can't seem to find the trick in Demolition mode...or is it because Realistic Damage is just " broken " ? I heard people complaining about the game updated and now i'ts not fun anymore or something like that.

I did tried playing Normal damage, it felt too " easy " and as it said it's not " realistic ".

Unless you need a set number of kills, at the start just try and avoid the others mostly. Give another vehicle a light tap every now and again to avoid being timed out.
Then when only a few vehicles left go for the kill.

Awww as I fear...but isn't that just kinda " cheap " lol...I want to just keep going all out ramming people...
So there's literally it means even after upgrading my car armors etc it won't be much of a game changer then?
Also there's literally like any sort of " soft spots " to aim for ?

Upgrading your armour makes you weigh more, which makes your impacts do more damage. It also makes your defensive panels last longer, as visible on the HUD graphic. When those turn red or disappear you take way more dmg from impacts on that side.

LMS events won't last very long in Realistic damage mode anyway, so you can ram just fine, but you better do it smart and you just have to hold off at the right times, then you'll probably win. The other cars destroy themselves without fail pretty quick.

The points-based derbys with score and respawn are more fun than LMS when you're playing with Realistic dmg. Career has some of these and you can and should go all out attack during them (or just set one up as a custom event, that's my late night drunk timekiller in Wreckfest). LMS is more fun under Normal dmg, but since I always play Realistic I just get the LMS career events out of the way as soon as possible.

As for aiming, full on full speed T-bone is what I aim for, because you have a chance of setting the other car rolling. If you start them rolling and stay with them, then adjust your speed, you can roll them to death. but again, in LMS this is gonna cost you a big old dent yourself and leave you exposed and slow for a minute, all for the sake of taking out one guy.

Sandwiching cars into the barrier also causes enormous dmg.

I look for T-bones in LMS derbys. Headon not best thing to do in LMS, unless u down last car and u got more health!

To avoid running away for half the match, make a dedicated demo build. I use the Limo - big and heavy with all the armor on, i can just plow through packs and go full on ramming mode from the get go. No running when i am by far the strongest vehicle in the match. Makes it a lot more fun than running for 2 minutes.
