ATS v 1.46 speculation

[xXCARL1992Xx]

we already have ADR tank trailer in ETS2, it was added with the last update iirc, same should be true for ATS

The one for ETS2 and ATS that was added in 1.45 is the fuel tanker... Which, if I'm not mistaken, cannot be used to transport anything else other than fuels.

ETS2 still missing the chemical tanker and ATS still missing the chemical, acid and gas tanker.

*We're also missing a proper gas tanker for ETS2 and missing a lot of HazMat cargos for ATS... I keep stressing how much more ADR/HazMat could be added for both games on the Wishlist forum but since it took years for them to add more cargos to the flatbed, I guess it could also take years for me to see a much wider ADR market in-game.

I have a good feeling that 1.46 is getting much closer, I predict that next week will be the week 1.46 goes into BETA. I still believe and have hope that one more feature (possibly massive and for both games) will be blogged about soon.

It is the end of Sept come next week. I've always had the vibe that it can be end of Sept up to Mid October for 1.46 OB. A lot really depends on how much is there for us to test that SCS needs the extra eyes and/or to get public help for bigger game changes coming. Its very possible that closed testing can eliminate the need for a long open beta period too. That puts OB in coming October within the first 2 weeks I bet in order for Texas to come in 4-5 weeks after that.

Before the Steam db post about Nov, I've had my eye on Nov no matter what. ATS hasn't released in Dec yet. That was ETS2's time slot. Sure Texas could have gone there but I never felt that vibe. As long as Texas does not release the week of Thanksgiving in the US, Texas is more ideal coming before it. Preferably 2 weeks before Thanksgiving though. Until then, hopefully we get a couple more teasers on what to expect with 1.46. So far its not much other than US-20. Phase 3? Not telling. There's a 50/50 shot. But what about features? Anything coming for 1.46 or do we go into 1.47 for a Spring release getting something big.

[Hell_Raiser]

I don't think we'll get phase 3 this update. I'm pretty sure they mentioned that the rebuild team was down to 2 mappers when phase two released, so they probably won't be at full production for phase 3 until after Texas releases.

[flight50]

Down to 3 mappers including the map lead actually. But also on that same stream you will hear Jakub state that before people got pulled, ph3 was in an advanced state. He also noted that the 2 guys besides him were pretty much senior mappers. To add to that, he noted that the seniors had to pick up where the juniors left off since they went to Texas and Montana. That was almost 6 months ago which could mean that the seniors only needed to polish up where the juniors left off. So that is why I say 50/50. Its fairly possible. I don't think it comes with 1.46 either but I won't rule it out.

Those seniors more than likely were doing the Bay Area and Stockton anyways...with or without the juniors interfering. The juniors where doing other areas so its possible we could get another nice chunk of work if the seniors finished up their cities a long time ago and only needed to polish up the juniors stuff. After Montana released, I also wouldn't be surprised if Jakub got 2-3 people back. Texas is the push and people went there too but Texas doesn't need everyone and people from the Montana team.....chances are, not all of them went to Texas if the next dlc is needing to come next Summer. So there could be a few spares now. Even more will come after Texas releases.

Yeahhh, I think the vehicle team has definitely grown. Another trailer off the list. This is a good sign. That increases the chances of a new car hauler, gas tankers, moving style trailers and curtain siders coming eventually. I hope car hauler and gas is with Texas though.

Nahhh... We'll possibly have to wait for 1.47 and 1.48 to see gas tankers and car haulers, respectively. They usually (And iirc, never) added ownable trailers outside of major updates.
