[Suggestion] F1 2023 (or F1 20xx) - ERS Model Overhaul

We desperately need a overhaul of the ERS Model for F1 2023 or F1 20xx: To be more precise, a combination of the old F1 2018 - F1 2019 ERS Model (where we could switch through multiple different ERS...

@mariohomoh Trust me there is no proper way for it with the way it currently works.. As long as we dont get fairly similar mapping to real life (full power out of the corners and fully stopping the MGU-K near the end of the straight) there is no proper way, induced damage would be even more artificial than limiting the change. And getting such a mapping would be quite some work compared to how it is now - only gear and current speed limited - and even then people wouldnt be happy.. When there is a chance to exploit the system players will do so, thats how gaming works sadly :/

And btw... Im shocked you are even mentioning a recovery mode, i thought this stuff was disgusting and only keeping the valuable handling developer from spending his time on suspension and tyre rework😱

On a serious note, 2 modes (+overtake) that we can map ourselfes would be best IMO, whether limited or not, still not too much IMO.. you could have a standard deployment mode + recovery mode, i could have a hotlap mode + recovery mode.

@Meza994 The current system is completely fine with me until Codemasters can come up with a proper, realistic implementation 😊

A sidestep with no basis in reality and real benefit apart from appeasing to some and upsetting others when the game already has other time demanding projects at hand doesn't sound good.

And, absolutely! If a band-aid to the ERS were to take time away from Greco and team to work on a more realistic driving experience I'd be more than happy to see the recovery mode and deployment tables cancelled on the To Do list 😚

      You would all just make my life 10 times more complicated than what it is, and the time is never enough.

      Also we would just be giving more tools to exploit to esports guys, and once it is exploited, everyone here will go from, oh so nice new system to, is so crap, you codemasters are ..... And everyone will just get angry at me. Plus, this would be something to plan, design and code at the beginning of a project, not when the game is almost released.

        @DavidG53Nobody said it must be done for F1 22😏
        I think everything we bring up on the forums is just meant as a genuine idea that we would like implemented at some point, doesnt matter if now, the next game, the game after etc. Just things we would like to see.

        I get your point but is it justifiable to limit a games potential because some will exploit it and idiots will blame the dev for it? Like take the Souls/Borne serious, it gets exploited like no tomorrow yet the fanbase doesnt hate on the devs.. Okay thats saying more about a toxic fanbase of F1 games🤔 Just to emphasize it, i can really understand your points but people would even hate on you when theres nothing to exploit "eww how boring, this game is no fun" or something like that.. But again, i know its very difficult and most fans arent grateful no matter the effort!

        Just out of curiousity, how bad would you deem the exploit potential of 2 modes we could adjust the deployment for each gear (2nd-8th) on a scale from 0.2 to 0.7? Just limiting to whats useful
