AI Tyrestrategies are sometimes weird at 100% race distance

The AI has sometimes some strange Ferrari-style strategies. Two examples

Red Bull Ring: We had slight rain, then it dryed up to get wet again and dry up in the end. We all started on Inter, got on Soft, Inter again and then the right call would have been to go to wets (Marc also suggested that to me). Instead of that the whole field pitted for inters to go on wets the lap after. Before this I was fighting for a podium, after that I was comfortably first on home soil (surely the fans would have loved that). When it dryed up again I was able to keep the gap large enough to pit for inters again (Marc suggested that again, no AI car did that) and afterwards I was 1,5-2 secs faster. If the race would have gone longer there would have been a showdown on slicks again.

Sliverstone: Most of the field started on mediums and went for a one stop. I did an undercut on Hards but was suprised that my rivals on a one stopper did not react and stayed almost 75% of the race on their worn mediums before switching to hards. At that stage I was able to build enough gap to manage the gap.

Those are two examples, where I did not had the pace to win (playing myteam, car is not the best at the moment) but did comfortably just because of bad tactics of AI. Of course I have gladly taken the points 😉

    @Radarkasten Don’t trust Marc: He only gets it right occasionally. He’s Favorite. Will be to call you in to change from slicks to wets or visa versa a lap after the ai. Leaving you stuck out on track on the wrong tyre. Whilst the ai laugh at you.

    Ai strategy options are limited. But they can afford to be. Ai doesn’t suffer from tyre temps. Or underfloor damage that adversely affects the car’s performance.

    Oh and ofcourse if you keep outperforming ai teams higher in performance rankings the game will activate ai cheats and scripts. Especially in my team mode. If you R&D parts to your car to fast. You’ll all off a sudden find every part will fail first time. If that doesn’t slow you down on track you’ll find it’ll start raining at the worst possible times. The game likes to go from dry/wet or wet/dry at the end of a race. So with a couple off laps to go you will be given a choice stay out on the wrong tyres and crash or pit in for the right ones so you will finish. However the ai will have no problem staying out and by the time you get back out on track. What cars didn’t pass you whilst you were in the pits will pass you before the finish. This will happen more and more until you start qualifying and finishing races in and around the team performance rank. But if you manage to rise above that. You’ll start noticing every ai car will become very aggressive towards you.

    The game is great when you do as it expects: But it’s a raging hatful pig if you don’t

    Haha, yes Marc tricked me also in some races true. 🤣

    Bad calls are somehow realistic, but it would be good to not only have it on the Player car or the 19/21 others.

    @Nuvolarix Yes, very true 🤔did suzuka 100% yesterday, I was the only one starting on hards. My strategy was to change to meds after 30 Laps. The Ai cars starting on softs pitted early, which is ok. The ones on meds stayed out, I had to extend the stint on hards to let them pit first. Maybe, they wanted to wait to stay ahead of the other cars after their pitstop. After that I was the only one on fresh meds. It would have been nice to see lec in p3 pit in the penultimate lap for softs and steal at least my fastest lap. Will Support the other thread 👍
