General AI Performance Discrepancy Reports (No Discussion)

Barcelona FUG2. AI 100, 20 Lap race.

AI is heavily overfueled for a 20 lap race, possibly this happens in other tracks aswell. Tested at barcelona.

(even though this is with the F-Ult 2024, the following is the case with most all of the cars)

very slow in to, the middle and the exit of the the tight left hairpin just after the bridge

 

An observation
The ai following a player has much more realistic breaking capabilities compared to the player and compared to the ai in front of the player.
There's some complaints regarding the generally poor breaking ability of the ai, but I believe if a little bit of the magic sauce that they have behind you, can be incorporated in to their normal breaking behaviour it will improve this by a long mile

AI very slow entering and through T2 (Mergulho). In reality you only need to lift with a good line, but the ai actually break pretty hard.

 

Formula Vintage Gen2 at Nordschleife Historic 1971, opponent skill level 120%, aggression Max, Green track, 21/05/2022 18:00, two laps.

The AI is very slow here, I'm easily able to overtake all 10 opponents on the first lap where it feels like they are brake testing me into almost every corner. On the second lap I'm 7 seconds faster than the fastest AI without much practice and not very clean lap myself.

Edit: I was driving the Formula Vintage Gen2 Model1 myself with 'Same class' opponents, tried 3 races with similar results.

AI is slightly quicker than the player on Turns 9 and 13 but unreasonably slow in turns 5 and 10. Worth also checking turn 4, AI is slightly slow when side by side.

Right hander before brabham straight ai slower compared to rest of track

 

Stock car 24 at Interlagos. The ai is too slow in the rain. Practice and qualify were both sunny. Race stated in the rain with the standard rain preset. AI was set to 107% high aggression. Full grid. I started last, passed the whole grid and got to first in a lap and half.
After I had cleared the pack I was five seconds a lap faster than the ai and I am not very fast in the rain at all!

 

Since one of the latest updates, AI tends to do exaggerated divebombs against player before/in hairpins.
They come from way behind, then go for the inside and ram player's car which is already at the apex of the corner, forcing it to spin very often.

Ai particularly slow through Curva da Bruxa (square left hander after the two fast left handers)

 

EDIT: GT1 tin tops has the same problems, from the middle of the s's right through the tight hairpin, which leads me to believe most car classes will be similar

ai very slow in and through the the tight left hairpin (T11) just after the bridge
ai good through the first 2 snake s's (left, right) but then they drop significantly through the last 3 s's (left, right and then left)

 

Not sure if something changed between Feb and current release. I am doing a 50% length season (2x wear, 2x fuel). I have much more tire degradation than AI. I usually must save to get to the end (Kyalami and Buenos Aires, for instance). At Long Beach and Monaco (40 laps) I put a mandatory stop in the rules to level the AI since I knew it was not possible to go to the end. They can at LB (confirmed), and probably at Monaco (I'll test next time I have an hour to do so). At Monaco with a full tank I barely got into lap 20 (probably abused a bit at some point, but not terribly).

 

F Vintage Gen 1 @Kyalami 1976, strenght 110%, aggresion Low.

AI slow at the fast left corner just after the end of sector 1. Tried both wet and dry and the behavior is the same.

 

Qualifying:
AI tend to leave pits in close intervals and then often build huge trains.
Later on, when they do their 2nd or 3rd stint, they regularly get blocked by cars on their inlap.

 

I just did a Lancer race at Guapore with real weather. The practice was wet with rain, the quali was dry, the race was wet with rain.

I was 6 seconds faster than the fastest AI in the wet sessions, and I was last of the Lancer RS cars in qualifying. 110 skill, medium aggression.

 

Blue flag behaviour:
AI to be lapped races you like hell on straights and then crawls through corners in front of you and blocks the line. On next straight, they go full blast again instead of letting cars overtake that are a lap ahead.

 

AI Discrepancy Report: F-Ultimate Gen2 @ Imola (modern), 106% strength, 25% Aggression, Medium Rubber; Championship mode, 50% Distance (32 laps).

I reported this back in January and I want to say it was fixed at some point, but the AI discrepancy is back, probably since the April patch. My time is pretty much the same compared to January, but the AI is now even faster. The AI must be clearly faster everywhere, but in a race, if I had to pick two corners where I find it noticeable, I'd say coming out of Acque Minerali and Variante Alta.

 

When weather changes from dry to wet, AI still is way too fast on slicks on an already soaked track. Whilst player has to fight for grip and must pit quite soon, AI drives like on rails with slicks without losing too much time and can stay out for ages.
Devs might decrease their grip level a lot in order to have more realistic conditions.
