The real skill in offroading is to maintain momentum and lockers can be a major aid to this. Don't view lockers as a "get me unstuck button" but try and have them engaged in sufficent time to prevent a complete loss of momentum. Obviously lockers that can be used "on the fly" are the better option. My G Wagon although very heavy can be kept moving through the worst of terrain by judicious use of its three locker system, which I imagine is what Mercedes intended. Obviously if you don't have off road tyres then your progress is going to be a bit limited.
I agree, but sadly we can all use lockers, some competitions don't allow them.
what about fancy TCS systems instead ?

yeah, the cure for that is to shift lock, and carry a bit more speed.

that free's up both wheels nicely smile
