    AI in the wet is too fast. Because I use full assists except steering, DRS and ERS, I should not see a difference between my performance against the AI in a wet/dry race. 

    If I have the AI set right for the dry, I end up being slow in the wet. If I lower the AI by 5-7 then I am good for the wet but too fast in the dry.

    This happened to F1 2019 after a patch, they never fixed it and I stopped playing career.

    Solutions they could implement are:

    1. Balance the AI properly

    2. Allow us to change AI mid session

    3. Allow us to change AI if we restart a session

    4. Allow us to disable weather in career and My Team

    Option 1 leaves at their mercy to get it right, so I prefer options 2-3, with option 2 being preferred. But whatever they can make work.

  • @Dan78lokiI’ll never let you stand alone😀😂

    I feel you. I find med traction control whilst using auto gears(not just because off the limiter issue) Impossible in the wet and Full tc with auto gears will out you in the bog off boggy bogness. So if you have the finger agility I’d recommend trying manual gears with full tc. But if like me you can’t. Or don’t want to. Full tc won’t bog you down so much. If you use the accelerator as though your driving with no tc.

    and if your expecting race before you proceed to next session., change tyre temp to surface only. So you won’t have to deal with cold tyres which will help tc

    ride height has to be at least 8/6 any lower and you might as well be surfing😎

  • I had the same feeling when playing F1 2021 (med TC back there too) and took me some time to get used to inter/wet conditions and keep the same AI for dry and wet weather, most likely because there seems to be more dry races than wet ones.

    I find hard to split lack of practice in wet (I haven't got any wet race yet in F1 22 so I too will be strugling for some time) and some handling/coding/model issue. As I'm trying to be more positive towards life as a whole (my cardiologist asked me to 🙌) I prefer to think that everything is alright and I just need to practice.

    I haven't done much in the rain myself. But I have been doing a F2 season 25% races and 1 shot qualifying. It was sunny bar 1 session, qualifying at Silverstone was wet. I was playing at level 73, 10 less than I play F1, as I only use the default set-ups in F2.

    I won both championships with ease, But Silverstone qualifying was shocking. Even though I had it on one shot qualifying, I had 6/7 goes at it (just kept restarting it) but always qualified in 22nd. So to the first sprint race (5 laps) I went from 22nd to 2nd in 5 dry laps.

    I don't think it has much to do with the TC levels used by the players - although this obviously plays a very important part too - BUT.. I believe it has more to do with the fact of how unbalanced (and fast/strong/unfair) the AIs are in the game at the moment - even on a dry track - and it gets even worse on the wet, especially because of the tyre temps - the AIs can keep their Inters or Full Wets constantly on the ideal temp easily, but the players have a hard time keeping the tyres warm - even when the values for tyre pressure are good - I can still lose temp on the tyres lap after lap, until I lose all the grip and it gets impossible to keep the car on track, so.. long story short: yes, the AIs are a bit too strong in the rain, but it's not only just their top speed, acceleration, or grip  it's ALL of these + tyre temps that they can keep without any struggles..

    It's just super frustrating to race against them in the rain..
