So for the MAN it was basically just a container carrying truck and you put a container on and put emergency stuff on it. That's smart.

This isn't special at all... most countrys have em.

So do Netherlands, Belgium and Germany

well lets see here. The biggest ladder that i know of.. well that would be in MY hometown of Pittsburgh Pennslyvania! Monreoville 5 has a 135' ladder. Straight stick. Yea it can top most of the 8 story buildings around here.

WHAAAAAAT! The 'tallest' ladder in my town is the 95' Sutphen SP95. It's a mid-mount, 1300 GPM Quint.

It's all about our UK engines XD. I love them. We are equipped with Top notch Dennis Sabres. It varies between different stations accross the UK. Going up north we have teh Scanias Volvos, MAN and Mercedes. Although as i live in West Midlands. Our West Midlands Fire engines are bad ass too.

Who cares what country has the best looking trucks? Or the most powerful, or the biggest water capacity? What matters is that they work good to SAVE PEOPLE! Yes, I have my preferance. I prefer Pierce, Sutphen, Seagrave etc. over a Denns, or a Volvo anyday. However, I don't diss their trucks. Their trucks suit the purpose fine for them. Over here, they'd probably be pretty useless. But, ours would be equally useless over there. So, it really doesn't matter about who has more horsepower, or the longest reach (although 135' still shocks me ), it's about who works. And, frankly, both styles of vehicles work to accomplish the same goals on both sides of the Atlantic (or Pacific), which is to save LIVES and PROPERTY!

That's what the US Coast Guard use as their motto too... I think it might just be the rescue swimmers though

Id like to make to be able to put it into the game.

This has been look at before and Center Turntable Ladders are very hard to place in the game. No one was ever to make an script that could work for one. Sorry



Big is not always is better... Technology and Power can be hold within the small engines.

Ok dude, people in Europe probably want to shot themselves on the way to a fire because the sirens drive you crazy.
The trucks in the USA have more technology built into them.

Sure, we may have 'more technology', but, is that always better? How about the how many incidents of Computer Controlled Rear Wheel Steering shorting out and taking out a support column in front of the firehouse? That's happened quite a bit. I'm not arguing. All I wanted to say was it doesn't matter who's trucks can do what, where and when. What it boils down to is who can saves lives? The answer is both. They both perform the same job, with the same outcome. That's what matters.

I havent looked into it but since the heavy rescue crane is a mid mount why cant this be altered to suit a ladder as long as there is a basket? The only thing I could think of is that it might be hard coded for the FFs to enter the basket from the front of the truck.
