My feeling on using the BUS. (by a hong kong bus spotter wtv it call)

DISCLAIMER: English is NOT my native language, please don’t blame me for that.
TL;DR: It’s a pretty well-modeled bus, i hope developer can add more variants of it (free for owners ofc) like Volvo B8L and such.


The Bus, also known as the LB12EV, it am AMAZING vehicle, having a huge amount of supplies and resources, you really want to go near it and reload or get your crews back.

VISUAL RATING

It have a pretty weird door design of 4 door on high-floor and 1 door for entering on a low-floor level. This design made it unsuitable to enter or letting passengers exit the bus quickly at busy times. There nothing to say about the seating, but the view will be obstructed by the piecs of metal separator.
The frontal design look gorgeous too, but i must say the destination display board might be a little too thick, Also, the stairs in the front door will trip people if they did not see it well, especially with the lighting in the driving cabin (or room).
The Air-con’ of this bus is HUGE, making it suitable in places like Hong Kong, Macau, Java etc etc… But it exchange for the Height Clearance for this bus to making it too high to pass some part of maps (mostly wont happen).

STATS/PERFORMANCE RATING

It have a speed of 80 KM/H as it max speed, that made it actually a decent bus as in speed, But it might be slow compare to highways, for example, 110 km/h on the North Lantau Highway.
The reverse speed…. We don’t talk about that. But seriously, 11km/h is consider decent compare to those russian MBTs, it also make weird high-pitch noise when it reversing. It have a horsepower of 185, making it really weak vehicle, it cannot climb some hills like the Ramp block (as in flat slab) because of it weak engine and it length.
The weight of 15-ton is fairly weight compare to buses like the B8L, I personally think 15 ton might already enough compare to tanks like the Yoyota MK3.

PRO/CON

It have huge amount of resources, that mean it can build a lot if you take times. It have a Basuri horn (i call it a “Universal Basuri Horn or UBH in short), that made it the first vehicle to have horn pre-installed. (exclude horn decor that not pre installed). The crew placement making this thing incredibly hard to kill if the enemy never saw the bus.
The bad side is that most thing isn’t functional, for example: Doors, Dest. Board, headlight etc etc.. Also it huge size making it an easy-target for enemies, and with the crew only two, one gone and it die. It weak armor of 10mm/10mm/10mm making it not really an ideal vehicle to resupply people at front-line.

SUGGESTIONS

I’d love to see if the bus can enter custom Destination, then you can see a bus in Afghantis heading to middle-east for fun purpose. I’d also love to see the functional door, and light. That will made it way realistic than the bus right now because it can do some silly stuff, for example, a Motorcycle in the bus.
The rear window it fine, but I will absolute love to see variant of the bus, for example, a Volvo B8L variant (basically a skin for the bus)

Or maybe add custom horns, for example, you can put custom horn sound id and have it on loop.
