thanks for your continued input. With the new upcoming 1.7 patch on Monday, we are addressing the issues with DRS trains. Specifically, adjustments have been made to Slipstream and DRS values to help overtaking and reduce AI trains.
Please let us know after the patch on Monday if you see a noticeable improvement!
The whole field is a DRS train. Verstappen on 110 AI literally can't overtake him for the entire race. They back out of every opportunity. It's just a horrible experience. F1 23 AI had issues, but was much, much better. He's in a Sauber, and the best driver stats wise, in the best car, stays behind him for the full grand prix glued to his gearbox.
A secondary problem is that it feels like 50% race distances and under, a 2-stop is always a horrible strategy. Not only is it not faster, but because the AI can't overtake, whoever does it more or less ruins their race and finishes at the back.
It feels as if the AI wasn't trained at all for the new ERS modes and tire model, nor was strategy accounted for as every race is now exclusively one stop. Maybe it's different on 100% races, but I always do 50% or 35%. I thought the point of 35% over 50% was to mix up some strategy without committing to a longer distance?
The whole series has taken a huge step backwards IMHO. Things that were working pretty well before and made the series enjoyable are totally broken now.
The AI in 23 was the best I've ever experienced so far. This time round it's a complete disaster. The good news I guess is, it has been recognised and hopefully will be resolved soon with a patch.
@IanM282 100% agree. I went back to play MyTeam in F1 '23 today, and it's night and day compared to F1'24.... overtakes, DNFs, and a safety car. Streets ahead of what we currently have in driver career in F1 '24.
