Thoughts about AI aggression

Recommended Posts

In my game even playing on a high level of difficulty (100), I found that the AI try to overtake me only in long straight and never approaching a turn.
And when i try to overtake the AI, they remain blocked on the ideal trajectory without trying to defend themselves or at least try to fight for the next turns.
What is your opinion about it?

When I first had the game it was almost perfect, best AI yet. You could get right up the backside of the AI and even backmarkers wouldn't brake test you so you could max the slipstream and fight harder.
Unfortunately updates seem to have changed things a bit, sure the AI is still the best yet but backmarkers have returned to heavy braketesting especially in tight corners you can't really overtake on and they touch squeeze you where as before they would get right up beside you but with a small slither of a gap and they are more aggressive now to moving into you, Vettel Singapore style you could say..
They also back RIGHT off again like 2016 if you fight on a corner especially, but they have lessened the backing off if on the inside, they still fight hard which is good so far.

The worst thing is the game still surrounds the player rather than 20 unique individuals its all about the player, I really don't like that, the AI generally vs other AI just robotically follow like a yellow flag race even with Merc behind Sauber unless its a long straight they just stay stuck behind loosing time. They all need to fight one another, treat the player as another AI, all equal, all fighting for the win (within car performance ability of course). Including tyre wear and fuel management etc. Only time AI should be extreme is on the hardest setting of all to stop the fastest complaining ;-) The AI can cheat all they like then lmao!

I disagree. I think its on a track by track basis. The reason some people think ipdates changed it is cause the first track everyone usually plays is Australia. And Aus is a very good track for the AI. Some tracks arent. I was playing in Suzuka yesterday and had a continuous battle with 2 other cars all the way around the lengthy right hander after the hairpin, through Spoon corner, down the straight and through 130R, until finally i had to let them go at the chicane Its the best battle ive had in the game yet, i think the AI are unchanged from release.
