Re: AI gaining Massive Speed on the straights

@TomasSlb24 @It is the setup the ai are using 

Did we make comparisons in grand prix mode to see the difference?

I don't expect to match the AI when I'm driving a backmarker car in myteam mode, it wouldn't make sense. I am typically faster than my teammate in a straight line though.

I don't really think it's 'fixed' in grand prix mode. I definitely have trouble matching or overtaking the AI with even DRS in that mode too. It might be that it's a larger problem in my team as I finished my first race pretty much dead last there.

Edit: Saying that I improved from about top 5 at Miami to top spot by a little over a hair by snagging the 2nd best time trial setup for that track. That this is fast enough to barely win at 85% difficulty for a controller user like me says it all IMO.

Well this says it all.. kinda😁 myteam newcomer. Racing Imola. My car is 2mph slower on the straight with DRS open.  And was curious to see what my team mates top end was  he’s 5mph faster than me. Despite the fact we now apparently know what setups the ai are running and I on purposely reduced both wings. As it’s imola max tyre pressures.  Fuel load was 0.50ish.  

I’m perplexed and now wishing I didn’t delete 2021 off my ps5🙄

@ScarDuck14 It gets worse because as your Car improves, your teammate gets an even more ridiculous top speed compared to you, sometimes being up to10-20 mph faster than you on a straight line  

@LittleAmigoBrit @Over on the proper forum.  We had the mandatory wish list for next game thread 

Some people posted huge lists off things they wanted in 22.  

All I asked for was for myteam to be better balanced.  Feels like devs took my idea and added lots off saliva to it and then slapped me in the face with it. How dare I ask for something sensible 

I would say this seems to be a myteam issue, I've not encountered this in a career or gp modes. I actually thought straight line speed from ai was realistic. 

@Dan78loki  Maybe if they asked forum members who they know put time into myteam over the last 2 years esp those with 1300 hours give or take. To help do the beta for my team. All for the price off free game and unlimited pitcoin.  The devs may  have had a better idea off what  and where issues in myteam were months ago.

Im no coder but FIFA has the same issue:  same base program from way back when. Year on year parts off code are cut out and replaced with new code, coded by a different coder. Which would be fine. Until you then try and add a completely different  physics model to a base program that is now a patchwork quilt and not the 20tog quilt wrapped in 2000 thread Egyptian cotton cover for it needs to be to best support such a big change 

just an assumption on my part.

@Dan78loki I feel this also in the regular career mode. I like the fact that ers + drs + slipstream is not overpowered anymore but the AI speed on the straight is still a lot, that combined with insane traction makes things very hard.

I would be ok with decreasing my AI level, I already did it by 10 points or so compared to 2021 and tried to lower that by 5 more points but it only affects the braking point and cornering, not traction. So less fun unfortunately! This needs to be fixed

@goodhand12Agree I find I'm struggling to keep the traction off corners to the ai.. my example would be the 1-2 turn at Bahrain. I barely keep traction with ai there and I certainly can't do it constantly over a race period 

It’s just the slow corners that are killing me.  Doesn’t want ai car is infront off me coming out off the last chicane at imola. They gain something stupid like half a second:  

But then I get great exit speed onto the main straight compared to the ai infront where it’s blatantly clear a blind person could see how much faster I am. But as soon as I’m right up it’s gear box ers and drs all go.  The ai just manages to maintain enough speed to stay just that bit infront  I can’t even attempt a deep dive
