If I had to characterize them, I would say Hard
Truck was a first stab at a trucking sim with some
gestures toward a management sim. Hard Truck 2
pushed harder on the management angle while
complicating the game world with gangsters and
cops. HT-18WOS manages to emphasize the
management sim aspects with a cleaner visual style
and simpler control scheme. Of the three,
HT-18WOS works best out of the box.

So in summary, it is what % truck driving sim and what % trucking management
sim?

Got any pics of this one to post? Or know where there are some?
I have HT2 and while I find it a nice diversion the graphics engine is
a bit crap. Not so much the look of it but I get this slight pauses in
it now and again and not sure if it's caused by the graphics or the
AI. Either way, if this newer one solves those issues and adds some
nice features I would buy it.

Honostly, the physics are literally non existant, you can do a u turn on a 2
lane highway at 60mph with full throttle and not loose any traction or even
run off the road, you have basically unlimited corner speed, possibly the
biggest waste of time ive spent in a long time.

With HT-18 wheels, does it allow you back a trailer
realistically...(using mirrors)?
Thanks...

Yeah, but does it drive like a BRM?

Of course not. It's articulated.
