Career mode AI difficulty all over the place
I know it might have been mentioned before but I just wanted to highlight how much the AI difficulty in career mode is all over the shop. I normally use the AI calculator from F1 laps to calculate ...

Dont forget though that in real f1 there is a wide range of performance for drivers. At random, for example Gasly has qualified as high as 7 and as low as 20th on pace. Checo has won and now struggles to be in the top 10. Given the tight field, how well you nail a set up for a track, your natural ability differences between tracks, how good you are in dry/damp/wet conditions and variable car levels with upgrades, you should expect a fair amount of variability naturally. For me Ive founfd 90 seems to be a good level and my pace shifts between bottom end of top ten to last row but usually around 12th-13th and close to my team mate. I lnow where your coming from - chasing ai level is frustrating and breaks the immersion. All im saying is try and keep it stable and accept varience. It makes the came more enjoyable and its not unrealistic.
- Another stat is Tsunoda has been as high as 7 and as low as 18 for both race and qualy, Albon was 18th in miami race then 9th in Monaco the following race.
@Darthsausage44 All true indeed. But one is the difference between different weekends. Other is a big difference between races and quali at the same track.
Since the start of the game, I've tried playing everything in 110, since in the last two games I've always done it, expecting to have ups and downs throughout the season. But could not do it. After getting to 107 and felt like everything was good, I just got second in a sauber at baku. After getting P8 in quali. That's a huge difference from other races, where since I got to 107, was always close to the top 10. And out of nowhere I was competing with Ferraris and Mercedes.
Other thing you mentioned, I doubt most of the people are better than the AI at interchangeable conditions. If playing with the carcass temperature, the tires will never have the right temps, and the AI will not get affected, so they will always have an advantage.

- @TomasSlb24 Yes i get there are the differences which are too big. Ive never got on with Baku so 2nd in a Sauber at 107 is amazing to me. In terms of wet conditions if its full wer race or wet qualy run drop tyre pressure right down to get temps up. Not if its a wet period of an overall race though
- @Darthsausage44 The problem in temperatures is in the interchangeable conditions. In a dry track, if it starts raining, that period that you have the dry tires till you go to the inters or wets, you will get a temperature drop, which is normal. However the AI don't, and you will struggle around the track, while they have the tires in the right window just like the track was normally dry. Same applies to the wet to dry but with the rise of the inter or wet temps. That's why I say it's really hard to compete with the AI in this conditions.
