Community ManagerPlaying the game post 1.5 patch, although the DRS/ERS trains seems to have been improved slightly, it is still a problem unfortunately.
The AI still bunch up in trains, and the 2 drivers at the front of the train just end up battling and overtaking each other lap after lap for the whole race, and end up loosing massive amounts of time over the race distance.
This has to be resolved soon.

Yes I agree. Not just that, but the AI doesn't seem to be able to overtake me. It gets boring really quick.
I can't see much improvement in the AI DRS ERS trains since the latest patch. All I see is 3 DRS trains separately now.
Definitely more work required, it's far from realistic at the moment.
I know it's not as simple as this, but whatever you did for the AI in F123, please do the same for F124.
Agree that there is no real improvement on the ai drs/ ers trains. Perhaps suggesting it isn't really a ers issue.
I think it is a combination of 3 things.
Drs being slightly too powerful
Dirty air being almost non existent.
The teams being too evenly matched on race pace. The same clumps of teams are in drs trains every race.. mclaren/ merc/ ferrari... alpine / rb.. Williams/ stake / haas... need more variance in race pace.. more strategy.. maybe more tyre wear to stop these races just falling into 3 drs trains and big gaps in between where you have massively boring races.

I do think the drs Is overpowered. It's too easy to sit behind the AI and rely on DRS alone. It also makes it extremely difficult to break away.
