AI Rubberbanding and other schenanigans
Hi,
I am in MyTeams Season 2 and beyond frustrated about the AI. I was driving between 90 and 96 with a wheel depending on how long I haven't played in 21 and now after two seasons of adjustments I am down to 71 in 2022. I red all the posts about this and also tried the difficult calculator and this is not the topic I wanted to talk about. The topic I want to talk about, and what also leads to my frustration as this leads to me feeling that changing the difficult doesn't really make a difference, is the behavior of AI around you.
It feels like there are two mechanisms in play that, I don't, should make the race more exciting? I have not such a big problem with catching up to a driver, meanwhile in year two my car is the third best, but I feel like the moment you reach the DRS window the car in front of you magically keeps you out of striking distance. ERS, DRS and slipstream doesn't do a thing. My engine R&D is far superior to the other cars and I got both DRS upgrades. ITs not like ERS and DRS deosn't give you the higher speed it just looks like the car in front can match it. It doesnt matter if its a Red Bull or Williams. On the other hand the car behind you chews away the gap and shoots past you eventhough you have DRS and ERS activated and have slipstream from the car infront. I had this one situation where I was trying to catch the car in front in Baku having DRS and slip and Bottas behind me managed to drive the fastest lap of the race chasing me down.
Nayone shares this experience?
