Defender 90's handling is ludicrous.

I recently purchased a land rover dlc. Only wanted the old defender, and it drives awfully and is unrealistic. Although I adore the game, the handling needs to be improved if anyone else finds it challenging to drive. For a scout, a wheelbase of 130 would have been much preferable.

Did you drive a defender before buying it, they feel quite different to a family hatchback. You should try driving a series at 60mph if you really want to know what bad handling feels like.

Ha, ha. I used to drive series 3s for miles on the Autobahn when I was posted in Germany. Spedo dancing around 130kmh when going down hill on a certain stretch, constantly turning the steering wheel left/right to keep it in a straight line.

I remember going down one particular stretch towards a bridge, me on the verge of nodding off and drifting slowly towards the centre of the Autobahn. I suddenly realised the drift and snapped the steering wheel over to correct the drift, but with the slack in the steering it made no difference to the direction I was heading - the young lieutenant raised his legs to his chest just as I clipped the kerb on the bridge! Thankfully a loud bang was the only outcome as I calmly said (with a fecking racing heart) "sorry about that sir, the steerings ****!". We carried on with him hoping he hadn't passed solids and me hoping I wasn't in for a major bollocking when I got back. Thankfully the only outcome was the land rover going in for an inspection before going on another trip!
