They have to make a compromise between performance and reliability. Using the settings with higher performance compromises the reliability of the vehicle by rapidly increasing damage to the engine components. This could be good to avoid that excessive change of setting that was done in 2018 and 2019 where at each corner entry you climbed the most conservative power supply and immediately increased the most performance one when exiting.
Developers please do not change this for future games. What we have now is perfectly fine.
I am one that understands that the deployment and recharge rate already changes per lap per corner entry and exit depending on what your battery level is at. Therefore all the driver needs to worry about is push to pass which is realistic.
Yes teams have SOC modes but in the races the teams very very rarely change this in races as all the mapping is already done in software ready for the race beforehand.
Adding ers modes will just go back to micro management and people constantly flickering which isn’t needed.
