@Dan78loki of course overall teh wheel has always been the device with more potential for the general player. anything else doesnt make any sense. its a racing game. a wheel isnt a stick. so to expect a pad to be as "good" as a wheel is pretty nonsense. then go play mario kart or Need for speed.
Still, the pad until this year was heavily benefited under traction and braking. especially in combo with noob abs on last years game a pad in wet conditions for example couldnt have been beaten by a wheel. it was simply impossible.
the only difference now is that pad players will need a longer time to get used to it. just like people on a wheel. it takes ages to get used to not haveing any vibration that tells you "yep, youre about to lock up".
and that is all it is. it will only take longer to learn the missing feedback on a controller.
in our league we already have people on pad that are faster than the fastest wheel users on our discord. so its still possible.
pad users are only crying because they need a while now to understand the mechanics since they changed quite a bit.
overall its much fairer now. a wheel will always be superior and that is the rightful thing. we are racing, a stick isnt there to control a car.
