So basically the Ai doesn’t know or isn’t trained to manage tyre temperatures. As all Ai cars behaviour is Identical. With small variations due to car performance and Ai driver performance ratings. Which don’t effect tyre temps to any real extent from one car to the next.
if tyre temps were enabled. On a track like Hungary. At some point during the race pretty much all Ai cars will have serious issues with tyres melting. Which would result in a matter of a few laps. All Ai cars not making a corner resulting in very least all Ai cars not being able to navigate all following corners and you’ll be lapping them for fun or worst they will all DNF due to crashing out
It’s Ai as smart as it’s getting. On limited time and budget there’s only so much it can do.
To be fair to most people who play the game. They are normal rational people who won’t notice or can’t understand why some tracks they have to drop ai difficulty. And not an obsessive like me. I put on average 600 hours into every game every year. Half off those hours will be in the first few months restarting a career over and over playing every which way. So in all honesty it’s only the few weirdos like me outside off the development team who know the game’s gameplay inside out
