Gearboxes

Recommended Posts

First of all great job Codemasters on the game this year! Best one by a long way albeit with a few bugs which I am sure you's will fix quickly! 

I have an an issue with Gearboxes in that they are barely lasting 3 race weekends which seems unrealistic in my opinion before you lose a gear! Fair enough if it's 75-80% then yes but it's about 50-55% when you lose a gear. I understand that you've got to improve reliability both with gearbox & power unit but it needs improving in my opinion

Its the hole point of rnd durability the would be no point having the durability if the engine and gearboxes were bullet proof at the start of the game when the first brought the v6 turbo engines in every team on the grid were having reliabilityissues for  the first couple of seasons even merc were having reliability issues in 2014 bythe time u are onur second 3rd season it wont be an issue for u if upgrade ur engine and inprove ur realibilty  people have to think theis 10 seasons 115 upgrades to do and everyone seems to be complaning about the wear on the first couple of races do a season or 2 and the wear will be a lot better I hope the dont change the wear of parts me self as I want  to inprovs the wear and tear me self

I take your point, very valid! I think the power unit elements are spot on in terms of wear but I just think that gearboxes reliability needs increasing just slightly. You didn't see gearboxes lasting 3-4 races through most of the field earlier on this season but then again taking your point of it in a game situation you've got to improve it so there is that as well. But just in my opinion you've got to increase just slightly the wear before you start encountering problems.
