Slower with no assists

Recommended Posts

If assists are faster again then codies just lost my money assists should absolutely not be faster this absolutely ruined my experience on 2015 people I was lapping on 2013/14 were now beating me in races on 2015 purely because of traction control,I'm fine with people using assists if they want to but they shouldn't be quicker because of them.

If assists don't help you to be competitive with at least the slower people using no assists, then they're not really assisting. For me the question isn't whether that overlap should exist, but how big (or small) it should be.

I think assists yes should aid. But come on I know people struggle but they DO NOT need the game to steer or rake for them that's what the driving lines for. And also TCS should bog you down a bit more. With TCS if you ask it reminds e of f1 2015 where you didn't really have to worry about throttle inputs you just straightened the car and it was away you went, on a curb or off a curb. TCS needs to be changed, or attest that's what I could get from the video. I think that is a good reason for me to cancel my pre-order to be honest, and I am seriously at the moment considering it!

Wow this is beyond frustrating... looks like it could be the same as 2015 then.

I would love to hear some feedback from Codemasters and see if this will be adjusted for the final build or not.  Really can't say how I would like skilled with no assists to be better than assists.... it really hurts the compeditive aspect of racing, especially for online racing and Leagues and then it will force us to seregrate 2 leagues for assists and non assists which can be a pain.

Any comments from the community manager or any of the devs on this ones?  I would really appreciate the feedback and most things are looking great with the game thus far.

I haven't watched the video above yet from Tia but if he is saying that running with traction control or abs is faster than all assists off then he's got it wrong...

All assists off is a little bit faster. I saw Matty on twitter saying he disagreed aswell.

Yeah, that was Ben just being slow with no assists. Matty's time was with no assists and it was over a second quicker than Ben's assists time and over 2 seconds quicker than Ben's no assist time. Nothing to worry about.

Driving with all the assists off is faster! Particularly if you use the right setup.

Whilst I am pro assist  I agree it is faster to drive without them if you can learn how too. Personally I only use them because of my disability. I think as long as people come clean if they use assists and the people they're racing with have no problem with them doing so then it should be OK but I think a little more honesty from some people may be required for fair play though. I believe assists do have their place in racing games but I think it's best left up to the individual to decide whether they're going to use them or not. Assists can also be a great learning aid especially if you're not familiar with the tracks  or need help for example judging where for example the braking zone for the next corner is which ironically is something I have a tendency to screw up with from time to time. But like I said it's up to the individual. But seeing as I'm primarily playing in single player mode it's not really an issue for anyone else to worry about.

Everyone seems to forget that Tia is not really fast compared to the top guys, so i'd take his words regarding Ultimate AI and assists not too much into Account as many disaggreing with him.

He is more like, okay lads lets not use any assists for this season, but lets cut all of the corners instead.  B)

In f1 2016 who plays with linked assists will be faster?


What rubbish if true. In 2016 they said that they were going to fix it and make those who play with no assists go faster

Really appreciate the feedback Jenny and what you have been doing for the forum. 

I was very curious about this because I know in last years game I could get very close to 2015 TC gains, however I would have to compromise other aspects of my setup to do so, thus hurting my overall laptime in the end.  This was not so bad on the red super soft tires because they have more grip, but it was much more noticeable on the harder prime tires and especially noticable in the wet and on starts.  I can see by the youtuber videos that starts are much different now, so what you are saying looks to be encouraging.

2 think I always hope are as equal as possible (for online racing) are assists vs non assists and pads vs wheels.

Cheers!

I don't think many people who have played the Beta think A) Assisted laps are faster or B) Ultimate AI are too fast
