AI Mistakes or crashes

[Wordlife0220]

Is it just me or AI doesn't seem to make any mistakes or crashes in career mode? I hardly see safety car coming out despite setting the safety car frequency to "increased". Car damage are set to "simulation" as well.

I play on My Team, difficulty 70, and the AI made more than enough mistakes that were really cool to see ! On the other hand they are STUPIDLY Hamilton-hitting-everyone's-rear-tire level of AGGRESSIVE, to the point where a lot of them are ruining their races by doing suicidal dive-bombs

LOL Hamilton just hit me with rear tire at Monza. I even don't know why, because I drive Mercedes too. He just didn't let me pass, block me and broke my front wing. I hate this. This is not sporty.

I had verstappen dive bomb a corner and take out myself and Hamilton

In my first race at Bahrain i had a moment where heading into turn 8, i slowed down naturally and carefully, but the Williams behind me just smashed straight into my rear, damaging my rear wing and underbody... i guess it was a natural AI mistake ? It was still super frustrating and i just restarted.

The first two - three laps feel like a warzone. Sure i understand there are fights for positions, but some of the dive-bombs and going 3 wide while also going basically off-track ?? What the hell is this, F1 21 didn't have this issue .

So does the accident frequency have something to do with AI difficulty?

[Wordlife0220]

Ahh...I just want more accidents from AI

I see some lock ups here and there especially when I put pressure on someone for a few laps. Also I had Tsunoda spin out just in front of me as he came out of the pits on cold tyres which was awesome to see. And there's almost always some debris flying around at start of a race. However, I haven't had a single safety car yet either and I'm 15 races in which is very disappointing. I think I'll just put it to 25% race distance, finish the season and then wait for a patch because there's really no point wasting time on long races if there's no safety car to interfere.

Did you try to increase the possibility of a safety car ?

Yes. I have had it on increased since 3rd or 4th race when I noticed it never comes out. It's not like that's a new issue. I had this happen in F1 2020 as well. 3 seasons of My Team without a safety car until I started a fresh driver career. I guess the patch didn't apply to ongoing career modes. I hope that doesn't happen again.

i saw 3 ai crashes all in baku quali but yeah no dnf because of crashing or sc in the race

[FHarbor]

they make too much mistakes for me.. every race 2-3 drivers crash or make big lockups and go into the runoff area

that sounds normal you get that in like 80% of the real races

[Trux]

I've seen no mistakes at all so far and only two DNFs (up to Baku race)

[Wordlife0220]

All I encountered was mechanical failure from AI cars but never seen a crash or dive bomb. I'm on 50 level difficulty, is that the reason?

I'm on 57 level and Hamilton and Vettel hit me several times. It was rude. I wish they'd be fixed to be more sporty.
