It's curious, as I don't drive Anthem anymore because the engine sound. When it was released seemed OK but after all new additions I don't like it. :D ;)

I don't really drive the the Mack Anthem anymore either. When it first came out, it was probably my favourite truck in ATS. Cumulatively between all the Anthems in my fleet, I had around 70,000 miles in them. But now that we have the Cascadia and the LT, I don't really feel the need to drive it anymore. I prefer the Cascadia and LT to the Anthem both IRL and in-game.

Afaik, the Anthem has the most torque in the 500hp range of engines. The 505 MP8 has better torque than the DD15 505 and Cummins X15 500, so that is a big plus for me. And the Anthem has one of the most unique designs out there only losing to the Lonestar and the 5700.

The Cascadia is good but i hate how the hood mirrors sits way too low... I have to set the seat all the way up to be able to see my mirrors and that's annoying (And i've seen quite a lot of videos of drivers using the Cascadia IRL and they are not positioned that low).

The LT is nice and if we didn't have the Anthem in-game, i would totally be driving the LT instead. The Lonestar is also great but since i always use a 53'ft reefer, it doesn't match that well... I think the Lonestar matches way more with a tanker, a flatbed and etc.

the mirrors are in the right position, the camera isnt, the videos you saw (i assume PoV videos?) record from a higher point then the drivers eyes, in VR this problem doesnt even exist, strange enough, and i can see the mirrors completely

The Cascadia overall has a smore sloped hood than the other trucks, so naturally, the hood mirrors will sit lower. Personally, I think the Cascadia hood mirrors work just fine if the interior camera position is adjusted properly.

It's the Mack Anthem hood mirrors that I dislike in ATS. Because of the improper hood position, the mirrors are way too high.

Here's a comparison of the Cascadia, 49X, and LT.

Use Kriechbaum sound mod. With it, it's great about the sound.

But I don't want to depend on mods, unless it's imperative. ;)

With this 5 trucks in my fleet I have enough:

Of course, future new trucks might be welcome (HX especially). :D
