Realistic Strategies (M-M-H) (M-H-H)
Instead of 2 stops being soft soft medium, they should be changed to medium medium hard or medium hard hard if the track has high tyre wear, as seen in real life. Can still be added to 50% races?

CM messed up the tire rules this year, so that's why real life is not represented in the game. CM did say that this issue was noted and sent on to the developers, but I don't think a fix will be coming this year. It's not on the list of fixes/investigations.
- @Nylink Shame but can accept it as they don’t see it as a simulation game. Mods normally sort it out.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure mods will be able to address this one. I've opened up as many of the game's packages as I could find, and between that and scouring through old forum posts, I think that starting from F1 2018, it wasn't possible to alter the weekend tire allocation. We're stuck with one M and one H for races (on non-sprint weekends) in this game.
You can change the properties of individual tires pretty easily, so you could do something like give Hards the same properties as Mediums so that you'd effectively have two Medium tires for a race. You just wouldn't have any Hards available.

CM/EA don´t care about this, they create their own rules for the official F1 game, if they were listening to us, this subject would already be in the Community-Raised Issues topic in the updates section.
As a avid 100% MyTeam player this is bothering me too, that we are forced to give away 2 of 3 Mediums and 1 of 2 Hards in Practice sessions leaving us with 4S, 1M, 1H for Race. I would much rather have the option to change how tyres are allocated for the weekend through the unused weekend allocation screen, letting us select which tyres we use/giveaway in Practice and which we keep for Qualy/Race.
Quick edit: Codies seem to have forgotten that, YES while teams are forced into having same weekend allocation, the teams still CAN choose HOW those allocated tyres are used over the weekend. And sadly it seems like a missing feature this year. Ill be amazed if codies actually update and sort it out. Tho i feel like at most we can hope for next year this being fixed, even tho with current state of the game I'm not even looking towards that, and much rather go back to 2021.
There could be a potential if someone with Cheat engine knowledge maybe could swap the weekend allocation around through modding, but that's somewhat of high ask as well.
Im already outright annoyed by the constant 3 stop strategies of 3S + 1M/H on high deg circuits
