@ScarDuck14To be very honest, after 2 years, more than 2500 hours of single player experience in the series and observing player comments, I think the AI balance is really not as bad as most people felt. It's certainly far from perfect, with lots of rough edges that needed to be address, but in the end It's still down to the player's ability on each track and it could be drastically different from player to player.
You know what, I found Bahrain to be one of the easiest when it comes to AI, and Jeddah is still one of the hardest for me, I'm not joking.
The situation is probably similar to other difficult games where player skill and their choices on how they play could heavily impact their experience, like in Dark Souls or Elden Ring with their boss fight vs your build kinda situation.
@Apophis-STRKind of the opposite here. Started Career Mode last night as Verstappen's teammate. 90AI. Struggled to keep up with VER in Bahrain and came in second. The AI kill me at the exit of turn 10 and gain from two to four tenths on me there. All things gained in sector one are lost. Then I have to make a comeback in sector three. ERS management is paramount.
I dominated in Jeddah and won. I love this track. Once I get a rhythm going its like I get tunnel vision and the car feels like it is on rails. Get turns one and two right and you can pick up several tenths on the AI as a buffer for the DRS straights.
Definitely have to dial in older setups in GP short race mode. That way I can see if my soft tires are going to overheat. Then go back to Career with a well tuned setup.
- @Hansenhaus Turn 10 is a peculiar corner, there's a very specific way of braking and line you need to take to get a decent exit, but it's definitely possible to even gain on the 90 AI there.
- @Apophis-STR It Depends my team car first race… no chance. In a redbull or Ferrari yes.
- @ScarDuck14 Well you could still beat the teams close around you, I guess it also depends on what upgrade you have chosen at the start.
I usually took rear downforce and drag reduction, these really give you a good start.
- @Apophis-STR Good to know. I have to keep practicing then! I definitely do better with turn 10 when I lift and coast into that corner but the AI will dive bomb you if they are close behind. Often they will go off track doing it.
