AI straight line speed.

I just raced Monza, AI 75 with full Tc and brake assist. Since it is in My Team the only car that is like mine is my team mate. 

I also have the best car by quite a bit and focussed on the ERS developments in powertrain  

I could stay ahead of her, and all of the AI, if I was around 0.7 sec ahead at the DRS line on pit straight and used my ERS. In the other DRS zone I needed 0.8 seconds. Seems reasonable  

I was able to catch them on the straights using DRS and ERS. Again reasonable.

Given both DRS are off fast corners the issue may be with AI’s ability to accelerate and get to top speed sooner. So noticeable in Miami more than Monza. 

According to the upcoming patch notes, they are (kinda) claiming it is because off the players ride height. By tweaking this, the player car should now have the same speed as the AI.

But that does not explain why they are so slow in the corners, or their ERS level and deployment for example.

Clearly another example off the devs not reading the feedback THEY asked for.

EA_Groguet​ and CM_TGK​, we know you dont care or read the feedback that you are asking for but come on, you can at least pretend to.

I am a casual controller player and 110 AI is too slow. Their pace also differs too much track to track, they are ridiculously fast in the wet and sometimes on straights. At some tracks like Monaco penultimate corner the AI literally do not accelerate which I find quite unbelievable no dev picked up pre release. Finally, they are baffling in career qualifying, every time a top car is knocked out and in q1 or q2. There needs to be some kind of slider where we can edit the difficulty/ their ability like on FC/Fifa games

I am a casual controller player and 110 AI is too slow. Their pace also differs too much track to track, they are ridiculously fast in the wet and sometimes on straights. As they don’t seem to be affected by dirty air, potentially making them sensitive to it would at least give a player some gap behind when defending, which could create a more competitive scenario on corner exits leading onto straights.

At some tracks like Monaco in the penultimate corner the AI literally do not accelerate which I find quite unbelievable no dev picked up pre release. They are also baffling in career qualifying, every time a top car is knocked out and in q1 or q2. 

Annoyingly their wet pace is the sort of challenge I’d expect from 110 ai but if that is the case, they need to be made much quicker in the dry. At Canada I was around half a second per lap than gasly in the dry, the rain comes and I’m 2/3 seconds a lap slower. Ridiculous to a point where I may need to turn off wet weather all together or maybe try without carcass tyre temperatures being simulated.

There needs to be some kind of slider where we can edit the difficulty/ their ability like on FC/Fifa games. 

The game is a substantial step forward from last year but is still a way off optimal

Has the new update not worked then

Was going to buy it not now 

The patch helped with Straight line speed not the wet. 

So if i buy it and play career mode they arent going to blister past me anymore has that been fixed

Yes they won’t blister past. Wet racing though can be hit and miss depending on how much rain. You can sim those races of course, or maybe you are better in the rain than I am. 

Hey there,

Thank you all for your feedback. We have made some changes in patch v1.06 to improve the experience regarding AI and vehicle behaviour.

Because this thread is quite old and we have included new changes to the game, I am going to close it now.

Don't worry, we still want your feedback, and we are still listening to you. In this case, if you want to share your feedback/sentiment/thoughts with us, please refer to this discussion:

Thank you for all your feedback.
