Best Vehicles for each track

trained_killa · ‎08-29-2009

Hi All,

I played the MSPR and after reaching Platinium decided that it took too much of my time and also made me an angry person (read trackblockers). After a while started to play MSA and I enjoy it to a point. My difficulty comes from not knowing which vehicle is the best for each track and also best perks selection. I have everything opened (perks) and also purchased DLC's so I have many vehicles.

For example when Terminus comes I haven't got a clue which ones it is as there are 4-5 different races on terminus and online evariably I make the wrong choice. This happens for all the other areas too. Can anyone in broad terms tell me what vehicle would be the best one for each area?

Also one more thing, and this is about TA. I watched a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grIfEYou1gk . I have this car and tried as hard as I could and I can get down to 55 something. 2.5 slower. I was wondering with the new patches did the car specs change?

Can anyone answer this? Does anyone actually working on TA in Apocalypse?

Thanks guys/gals

Hi Koray,

Let's see, fastest vehicles per track.

I've made this spreadsheet, containing 40% of all the fastest times on every track with every vehicle. The objective is to make it 100% one day You can figure out how it works, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask The column in red text shows all current world records per track (any vehicle).

>>LIIIIIIINK<<

There are a lot of vids on YouTube that can help you improve, as you've already noticed. Keep watching them

TA isn't nearly as popular on MSA as it was on MSPR (less sales and no trophy like 'Hire me'), but several people still visit the mode on a regular basis, myself included. On joban123.net.tc you can manually insert all your times, and the site will add them up automatically.

were those times done with perks? I think I need to re-take my suburban shakedown record back

Thanks for this buddy. This is very useful as I can at least see all different tracks for each racing area.

It seems if available always chose

RC, DB, AT, SM, SC, SB and the rest follows.

I think my best bet is to do the TA on all tracks with all vehicles to see what handles the best.

In order to get a good understanding of the handling I'll go with the following Perks

Impr. Acceleration, Longer to Reach Critical and Takes More to Wreck You.

Do you think this will do for me?

I have to be honest it is a bit of a drag to have to the TA but otherwise I'll never have good understanding of the handling of each.

As for the videos there are really very limited amount of videos available for this game for TA (from what have seen) and takes time to find good ones. I think Evo dropped a clanger with this game (even though it is enjoyable still preferred MSPR environments) and as you say people who do TA are limited hence the limited vids.

Thanks once again

hi Wild*
Just watched the video link in your signature and I assume Mitch is you on youtube. When you did this did you not use any perks. If I don't go to perks at all then does it not loaded?

Thnx

Jerony has all the details about the potentially fastest vehicles (Thanks for the compilation!).

But its a bit complicated (I cant read that fast when a track comes up :-) ), does not name perks and does not account for "easier to survive".

So here are my easy guidelines:

As u said hotrod and armor are good default perk choices.

I much prefer aero (cool fast in air) over critical for the middle perk. Gives you more boost if you know the right bumps...

IMO RC is much harder to drive/survive than DB. So I'd first try to get used to DB. Its good for most tracks.

For the Skyline tracks I usually take the SC. DB has too much airtime there.

With these you should be ok for well over 90% of the races.

cu in october!

P.S.: Yes the car specs changed with the game updates. Some vehicles became faster, DB the most, none slower I think.

The supermini time was not a world record anyway. Also it was set offline which is why perks were not there, as far as I'm aware you are forced to use perks if they are available for an online race so I dont think you have anything to worry about.

My best time with perks was a 2:45 with the Rally car, but this was before many patches so i have no idea if the RC got a speed boost sicne then, nevertheless it looks like i need to make an appearance after MSPR goes down.

@Joban thanks for the air cooling tip. I'll try it today. I find the RC very jittery and like all the Super vehicles. Done my best time in Bridge too far with SB.

@Jerony can you do me a favour and try this for me; TA at Couch Party and chose supercar and have your perks as you wish (mine were top speed / longer to reach / armour) and have a go see you can get anywhere near woppatoosay's 52.62. I am sure you are a lot better than me so if you can do it then it proves it is doable. My best is 55 something

@Wild and Babsodus. Thank you for replying, explaining and links. I shall study them to the last second and you never now one day ... just one day in the future I might have a top finish of my own (dream on son).

I am also thinking of resinstalling the gane and no patches see if it is any different in terms speed (cough party with super car) in TA.

I remember all of you from MSPR days and it is nice to see that people still bother to reply and get involved. So thanks to you all.

Cheers
