AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights
It’s like they have DRS the whole race
Forum Discussion
@Hansenhaus But if it is intentional, it adds realism to F1 gaming. A real example of a similar thing happened in yesterday's race. On lap 50, if I remember it right, Hamilton double shifted from 6 to 8, and then asked his race engineer to check whether everything was OK with the gearbox.
IMO the problem resides more on how AI strength barely impacts corner speed exit. I personally have no problem on 110 AI being almost perfect when it comes to acceleration from a corner (as 110 AI should simulate alien skill level), however if you lower AI to 80 - for example - the AI becomes much worse on corner speed entry but the acceleration speed on exit is almost untouched. This doesn't make any sense at all as one of the major differences in driver skill is in fact determined by how fast you are out of corner exit, and so having the AI corner exit barely touched by difficulty changes has the result of a seemingly unfair challenge for many users since they cannot find a skill level from the AI actually suits to their own skill (and that gives a feeling of "rubber-banding").
In short: difficulty should absolutely affect (and one could argue even in larger measure than other factors) the acceleration that the AI carries on corner exit and that, imo, would almost totally resolve the vast majority of the issues people have with the AI right now.
- @Amioram It's probably easier for the devs to adapt the AI by changing their speed in corners rather than altering their abilities in the braking events.
If and it’s a big one. With the new upcoming change to torque curve. It should solve the issue entirely. You no assist show offs 😜 can be more aggressive powering out the corners. Aswell as those using Medium TC. And Full TC users should be able to do 0 throttle to max throttle without TC bogging the car down.
But as ever: we wonder if CM can nail the meta torque through every gear. In the first patch
