Over-revving the engine or hitting a rock too hard resulted in realistic mechanical failure.
While demanding for its time due to physics calculations, it became a staple for players looking for depth over polish. 🌲 Modern Successors
Mud was not just a texture; it was a dynamic, deformable obstacle that could swallow a vehicle whole. 🇷🇺 An Authentic Cultural Artifact
