You are right, they cutted some highway streches from RTBS (heck, even some very important ones in favour of some scenic secondary roads) but for the biggest part they sticked to reality. As opposed to Iberia/France/Italy, RBTS countries IRL simply doesn´t have a big highway system and a huge chuck of traffic still relies on the old one-lane roads crossing cities, towns and villages. I can talk about Poland because situation was similar to these countries until not that long ago, but as the country is endlessly growing they are managing to build a lot of expressways (as they are called in Polish) and highways. Sure there are still a lot of these goofy small roads everywhere , relics of the past, but the depiction of in-game Poland does not resemble at all to state IRL Poland is nowadays.supersobes wrote: ↑14 Apr 2021 11:04 For me, Road to the Black Sea was disappointing because of its lack of continuous highways. Comparing the game map to Google Maps, it looks like a lot of the high speed, limited access motorways and expressways were intentionally truncated to make way for smaller roads.
@Shiva I do agree with you. Comparisons with ATS or with american road network may not work most of the time. You have to stick to reality, look to a map, it is what it is. I somewhat understand the "beautiful coastal roads" demand from certain audience of this game, but if you take a closer look on a map you will realize that most important highways and routes trucking-wise are not those going exactly in paralell with the coasts. Sure there are some roads going really really close along the sea, but what kind of relevance do they have if we are talking about trucks? Not much I would say, honestly saying.
