Official General AI Comments & Discussion Topic

So ever since this recent update, I can happily tell you that racing against the AIs has been in the best state ever in AMS2. The way they behave and how the new sliders function has made it better with less annoyance! But sadly, some parts are still visible even if I turn down the settings, so I will mark over the issues I found still to happen at the following track(s)

Mosport
Issue: The AIs have better handling & speed through Clayton Corner(T2)

Silverstone GP 2001
Issue: The AIs are still superior through the Becketts complex. This one you developers should know that, I have already addressed before and shown you a video on what is happening! Please iron it out by slowing the AIs down. And with BTCC coming up to this game, it will not be fun to race AIs that are better than you at a section where you do tend to lose around 0,2 seconds!

 

I’ll keep this short: Hockenheimring 1977, GT1 class, I’m driving the Panoz, 30 cars, AI settings: Skill 90, Traction Skill 0.90x, and Braking Skill 0.90x, and I’ve kept the AI aggressiveness set to Medium ever since I started playing ATM2. I didn’t change a thing there, and guess what—as soon as we hit the straights, they blow me away; even the other Panoz cars pass me like it’s nothing. Test 2: GT3 Gen 1, same settings, same result; Test 3: GT3 Gen 1, only Nissan GT-Rs, same settings, same result—they leave me in the dust on the straights. Yeah, okay, I’m using a controller; I can’t use a steering wheel right now, but that’s not the problem—I’m fast and I have good line choice. The AI is just too inconsistent on some tracks. Reiza, you’re aware of this problem that’s plagued the game for quite some time, and I know you’re trying to fix it, but I still don’t think you’re hitting the mark. It’s a shame with such exquisite content; it’s still my favorite, and I doubt that will change. And I’m not asking for easy, boring races—otherwise, I’d just play Gran Turismo. Yeah, it’s about finding that balance, and I’m not saying it’s easy. Cheers,
One thing I wanted to add is that the Nissan R390 is unbeatable with its 618 CV; none of the other rivals can keep up with it. It’s way too fast; I have to assume that’s how it was in real life. Now the AI has experienced what it feels like to be left behind. I did a short 20-minute race with the same settings, and it was way too easy with this Nissan—so much so that I won by passing 30 rivals; I’m just mentioning it as a fun fact. Is there BoP in ATM2?
