ash.exe Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hi! There isn't really a lot of discussion about American Truck Simulator because a lot of drivers are in Euro Truck Sim. I love to find out: What you like and dislike about ATS (including the TMP version)? What is the best place to drive through in the ATS map? And what you think of the game overall? And if you would like my opinion: ATS probably has the best sceneries, maybe better than most areas in ETS2. The trucks are also quite fun to drive. However, a lot of areas in ATS are very empty. My favourite place to drive through is Washington and Oregon. And overall, I think ATS is a very underrated game. There are a lot of nice areas to drive through that are somewhat rare to encounter in ETS2 Vanilla. You have a lot of roads you can drive through and a lot of trucks in the game are very nice to use.

McLaren2555 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I guess ats has an updated version of the game engine which results in like more detailed and more dense scenarios or object creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeELONMUSK Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hey there, I love the scale of the map, from what's already available it feels huge. making it easy to do long hauls. Different states having different scenery is nice, however it is a bit bland but I still like it more than ETS. Also more truck options would be nicer, preferably older gen. I mostly drive in the Washington and Oregon area as it has some of the best roads and some of the best scenery in the game aswell. Overall, I love the game more than I do ETS2, but still find myself playing ETS2 more than ATS somehow. Twitter | Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattytate Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I have the game I also have some of the map dlcs . It looks great , the maps are huge ! But I just can’t get into it . I think it’s because I game mostly mp and ats just hasn’t the numbers to make it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 The game is getting much better than it was a few years ago when I started playing in late 2017. Multiplayer has always been pretty dead unfortunately though so I mostly played ETS2 to play multiplayer which I have most of my hours in right now. About 1020 in ETS2 and 540 in ATS. However right now I would consider ATS to be my favorite truck sim. Really hyped for when Texas DLC comes out! It's basically the size of like 2-2.5 states so lots of stuff to explore. All the recent map DLCs have been really good but even without the map DLC, SCS is reworking areas of the base map, notably California, but it will take a long time like the Germany rework in ETS2 did. SCS already reworked some cities too such as Las Vegas, Yuma, Tonopah, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Borja Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 ATS is a great simulator, but there aren't many people on the servers. They should do more events on ATS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager xBestBBx Posted December 3, 2021 Community Manager Share Posted December 3, 2021 ATS is a great game all around. As previously mentioned, the servers are not as packed as ETS2, and it mainly could be because not a lot of people are interested in the game because of the lack of content that comes with the game. However, ATS is still younger than ETS2 and SCS can still polish it to make it more popular.

Da n R O Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I really don't like ATS, maybe because trucks are very slow and roads are more straight than in ETS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElYefer20 [COL] :3 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 What I like about ATS are its roads and trucks, what I dislike about the game including TMP are the few players ... I don't have a specific one in my favorite places, but I really like the city of San Francisco. I think that as such the game is very good, but it needs a little more activity in the case of TMP, so that more players play and that they bring out something new to attract more people in general.

Nightmaree. Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I think the graphics of ATS are much better than ETS2. But ATS has very few players compared to ETS2, I don't know why. If ATS had more players, I think it would even surpass ETS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldManJammer Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I love the Washington and Oregon area as there really are some beautiful parts. Anxiously awaiting the Texas DLC to open up the map more. While the map has been growing, it still pales in comparison to ETS currently. I am one of those that wants more and more map coverage for travel possibilities. On the MP side, I am relatively newer there so while I would like more people on the map the "not wanting to make a mistake" in me prefers the lower numbers!

[TPH] Nicz Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I'm also impressed with the traffic AI! They wait at intersections, stop at red lights, and I was shocked to see a few cars decelerate when I flicked my turn signal, allowing me to slip into the left lane.

Aura. Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I think that ats would be a really nice game and way to spend time with friends aswell.. in a different ambientation to european players.. It's just a shame that there are not really much players on it, just like there are on ets2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signore_Derin Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 ATS is actually a bit more advanced, so there are very few bends on the map in the game and generally the roads are smooth and always straight and the distances we go are very realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourP. Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I think ATS is good in terms of gameplay and map, but it would be better if the map was a little fuller and a little more player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryp32 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I’m not American so I don’t know if the map is realistic. Like the base one isn’t in ETS2. But the map quality as a whole is much better than Euro Truck (helps as it’s a later game) and since the Mack was introduced, I have seen a noticeable improvement in interior detail and quality. I drive a Cascadia and I really like it. The long, fast and straight highways are a refreshing break from the tight Welsh roads of ProMods Europe. If anyone was considering buying it I would definitely recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tundra_Gaming Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I think it is great just like ETS2. However it doesn't have the appeal ETS has due to location and nature. ATS is a beautiful game with great trucks, trailers, mods, etc. The market is just different. I'm sure most ATS players play single player ( I Do).

.Tony Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Although Ets2 has more players than ats2, each game has its own advantages and trucks are different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellchris Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Personally I prefer ATS because for me the gameplay is better, whether on solo or online. Trucks are better or rather better suited to my driving and what I transport. The long roads through the different states, the coast, the desert ! The community is quite pleasant and mature I find compared to ETS2. I don't know why there are no more people on ATSMP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakes Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 First off one thing I dont like that there doing, is adding buses to ATS its called American Truck Simulator for a reason. Its specificly based off IRL Semi Trucks and the experience you'd get out of it. I hope they realize that, if they bring in buses all of the community are gonna just be driving buses, which doesnt make sense because the game is for enhancing Truck Simulation not a Bus simulation. All im gonna say is, the servers on ATS are already dead, but if you guys add Buses to ATS/TMP then just know the whole game is gonna be dead. Not just that every company Founder will lose all of their drivers because its gonna be transformed into a bus simulation, thats why we have Solo ATS, where people can install mods for a reason. Please take this under concederation. Sincerely, Truck Brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogus Maxwell Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I can't say I prefer one over the other, ATS and ETS2 both have their qualities. ATS MP is a much more courteous group, probably due to the significantly less number of players. While there are parts of the map that seem bland, I can tell you as a rl professional trucker, it is realistic. They captured the unique qualities of the cities very well, no carbon copied cities like they have in ETS2. Overall, the game has been, for me, worth the time and money.
