AI Tire Temp and Tire Deg
It is pretty clear the AI is not suffering from tire degradation. Their race strategy seems to follow a predetermined script. They also do not seem to lose time at the end of stints or where tire w...

@IleleeeEven though the AI get the tire temps faster we do to. Hard tires normally don't get in the right window till about 2-3 laps, depending on other factors like track temps.
Things like Hungary would never happen in the game. Not only the surface temps does little do no effect and so the Hards would still work in the game, a S-M-M strategy would be impossible because there is no other set of mediums.
I’m sure AI are just coded to be slightly slower for half a lap, regardless of tyre compound. They are not actually effected by temps the same way the player is.
@ajobling1983Nope they react to tyre temps.. But their tyre temps are kinda scripted..
PS. they are not affected by surface temps, only carcass temps by what i know
@Meza994That explains the reason why they are so fast in wet to dry or dry to wet conditions. Because they're not affected, they simply don't lose as much grip as the player.
Just saw the last Tom97 video and once again there it is. Last two laps, he is on the softs and the AI all on the Inters. Track is dry and the AI simply don't struggle as much as they should. They still brake at the same place as the track was wet and out of the corners they just get a little bit slower even though they don't seem to get any wheel spin or something similar. If Tom decided to stay on the inters, his tires would probably be way to hot and he would struggle much more than the AI.
This would be great to have the community manager or someone from the staff giving actual answers instead of the players having to guess what's going on, really.
I know it’s not a good solution or is even a ok solution. But it’s better than t fighting a losing battle with ai. And that would be to change tyre temps from surface and carcass to just surface. Your Tyre Temps I believe won’t even go below minimum temps. And only time you’ll lose grip from high temps is when your putting high loads through corners. But as the carcass temps don’t build: unless you’ve put extreme load they won’t lose traction and surface temps will return to normal limits as soon and you’ve exited the corner and opened the steering.
Way I look at it is. I would like the game and the ai to be properly balanced and working as we expect. And our expectations for the most part are not anything thats impossible for Codemasters to achieve., But it will require them wanting to take some pride in their work. And to do their best, not because they have to . But knowing the enjoyment everyone (toxic troll types won’t ever be) who bought it, gets from playing it. Is because off the good job they have done.
So if i know changing one off the settings. Will help balance out some off the blatant unbalanced things. Then I will. I’ve experienced myself and seen YouTubers who’s r&d constantly fails so I’ve increased resource rate. So I can instantly redo them. Cause I use auto gears and the issue with the revs stuck on the limiter I’m destroying gearbox’s. So until that’s patchEd. I’ve turned off parts failures in the race.
like I said not ideal but it makes me less annoyed and frustrated than it does knowing the ai and game are beating me because of a broken game mechanic
