Restrict Minicranes on Superheavies

It doesn’t make sense to have Minicranes on Superheavies. Yes they can fit on the trucks but for the game they don’t belong on those trucks. Minicranes on Superheavies aren’t consistent with the series since in past titles no D or E class truck could haul cargo and use a crane, and in every season since the Mastodon DLC, Minicranes weren’t seen on heavy trucks with sideboard beds (except the Tatra trucks but they make sense). Why shouldn’t they be on Superheavies to begin with? First, the cranes from a practical standpoint are borderline unusable since the crane controls are likely out of reach (with exceptions) and second, make already overpowered trucks more powerful. Toppling something like the Kenworth 963 is an achievement within itself and keeping cargo should take skill. In recent seasons where cargo has to be retrieved, it is way too easy to grab a mastodon and pick up the cargo needed.


To those who want the casual experience I point to the mod section.

This seems like an unnecessary change in my opinion. 

There’s a lot of inconsistencies in the newer trucks. The 963 is just a P12 with stiffer suspension and it doesn’t get a minicrane and bed. It also doesn’t need a minicrane.

Where would the Derry Special stand in that situation? Its definitely heavier than the Tatra FORCE and more versatile. However, the real truck it's based on has a mini crane and bed version (albeit different from what we can do in-game).
