All good man, just want to have a discussion. Yeah, totally agree on the "actual" elitist where they belittle / flock people who uses assists. And for the record, I'm not saying that assists or ABS is bad, it's essential to make more people to play the game comfortably. Most of the assists is pretty balanced, they all have their trade offs pretty fair I think, with the exception of Pit Assist, where in some tracks you can just floor it to the pitlane and not have a penalty lol, but it's not the one that I want to talk about.
The other assists, such as TC or auto gears have a fair trade off in pace in my opinion, both TC and Gearbox have a +0.7 sec trade off based on Jarno's video in 21. Don't know about 23 but I assume it's the same. ABS on the other hand, has really small trade off in pace with only +0.1 sec based on Jarno's video, and with Marcel's new video it seems like it's still very powerful. Moreover, TT leaderboards confirm this with many players use ABS in TT leaderboards.
I mean, I get it's just a simcade, but is it wrong with wanting to balance assists out for more competitiveness? With how you can exploit the ABS, not doing anything to it just makes it more harm than good imho. The narratives where using ABS or any kind of assists can make you faster, can lead to one of the reason why so many people mock people who uses assists in the first place, cause they use that excuse so it makes them feel better. Not gonna lie, sometimes in the heat of the moment I felt that too.
@Marvlint Also in all racing sims from Arcade to Sim. There are setup bizarre exploits/glitches that shouldn’t work but simply just how the code works are unavoidable. The developers don’t tell anyone what they are. But there are those who know how to find them. There are people who sell Meta ACC setups. Although I’ve not seen any of the setups. I’ve seen a few YouTubers test them. Firstly they are faster with the setup they purchased. Secondly on looking at the cars setup they say. Knowing everything they know about setting up a car. The setup they bought is one they would never dream off trying.. This game is no different. So you could argue as their car setups are not realistic they are using assists. But what’s more an issue than op assists in multiplayer is how easy it is to get cheat hacks to make you faster.
- @ScarDuck14 What has always confused me about elite players is how on one hand they strive for realism and competitiveness from the game yet they take stupidly wide and broken racing lines like on Qatar this year, I've never understood that.
- @matty0blobber The other thing is until sim races properly add the G-Forces and add the chance off dying when you get it wrong. It’s never going to be realistic. 😂
