Durability improvement is broken
I have had 8 mechanical retirements, and 3 in the last 6 in my second My Team season with 4 races to go, I had 3 in my first season total. These haven’t been excessively worn parts either. My first was in the second race of the season, which is fair enough as it does happen. My gripe is with the “Durability Improvement” percentages and parts failures. These numbers are broken, or backwards, or something.
The parts that have failed are parts with 51%+ durability improvement, including two consecutive turbo failures, one at 26% and the second on a brand new turbo. I’ve had 2 failures on the same component with an 85% durability improvement, all of which were at less than 50% before they failed.
I have no problems with components that I am pushing the life on, 65% or higher, failing, it’s a risk to continue running them. I also don’t have a problem with the occasional, and I do mean occasional, newish component failing, it happens. The issue I have is high durability parts failing regularly, 8 of 19 races is a 42% failure rate for parts that are still well inside their lifespan
The other issue I have is that the other Ferrari powered cars have a combined total of 4 failures amongst 5 other cars this season and 11 total over the past two seasons.
Is the “Durability Improvement” bugged or am I truly just a victim of horrendous RNG, or whatever system determines failures.
- @tn132 I'd say you're just as unlucky as Daniel Ricciardo was in 2017 when he had eight mechanical failures.
Just turn the feature off after a certain number. I myself do this after two or three failures depending on the season length.
