I can break DRS occasionally early on, but it's like the AI are automatically programmed to send a driver out of the pack to hunt you down and reel you back in. Then the rest of the front pack follow.
I don't mind this if it's realistic. But if I'm driving in a top team with fast race pace, despite either using up battery or not they always seem to reel you back in. Unless it's set on an easy difficulty.
I'll say it again, the AI straight line speed on some tracks is so unrealistic and enjoyment sapping. Just as it was in F122.
I honestly do think there is huge potential in F124, I really do. There are a lot of things I like over F123.
Unfortunately until the awful AI issues are fixed it's a considerable departure from F123.
Needs much more work.
The biggest problem for me is that if I can't break away from the AI, and the AI can't break away from me, my strategy is basically to sit in second place in the group and wait until the last lap, then use all my ERS to overtake.
If I do overtake earlier, I just end up having a big group behind me with no way to pull away. The only good news is that the AI is useless at overtaking, but then it makes it boring..
