A.I. times...

Spain, RallyRACC Catalunya, El Montmell. I'm 27th in the leaderboards and still 14 sec back Seb Ogier playing Career mode in "Hard" (only the seven first players in the world can beat, including possible cheaters). I like "hard", but a little bit exaggerated. Same with all in WRC category (except SSS, are easy). Medium it's tooooooo much easy.

I disagree, I think that's how it should be for the hardest difficulty levels. Have as many levels as you like (and I think they should have options on a scale for strength, attrition and field spread), but the hardest one should be near record times; otherwise how can the quickest guys get a challenger?

[Seriousharry]

Still "Extreme" above. Easy, medium, hard and extreme. Just the times for "Hard" are some times top 10. You agree only 7 players in the world can beat the second difficulty and drop to the third dificulty means you can walk through the park? And I like hard, but it's obvious, it's bad calibrated.

Like i've said before pay no attention to the leaderboards. Even the very top level is not that hard if you are willing to do what it takes to be a good driver. Also you have to be willing to tune quite a bit and you have to know what you are tuning for, which basically means you need to know the tracks better than you think you know them.

That's unfortunate. How about consistency among stages. Does it happens to set a great time in one stage and then set a very bed time in the next stage driving with a similar rhythm?
It happened very often in WRC6, I hope it's not the same here....

[Seriousharry]

I experimented a little bit with difficulties; medium is definitely too easy, gap between medium and hard it's brutal (more than a minute per stage some times more than 2 min in epic stages), in the other side, between hard and extreme, the difference is very low. For me it's not a problem because I have, some top 10 times in leaderboards and I can beat hard and extreme AI (hard it's ideal for career, for me). But still thinking the balance it's not good for main user dommed to pain on "hard" or the walk on "medium". The consistency among stages it's decent, they can do a better time in one and worst in next, but nothing serious.

I just finished my 2nd season with Citroen and finished 2nd in the championship
( HARD difficulty )

( behind Ogier who finished 1th or 2nd in every rally and by the way the AI stage times r to static I think when it comes to the finishing positions, almost the same order for ALL the drivers participating in the WRC in EVERY rally :((( )

and I missed out on 1 objective for the season, doesn't the total finishing position matter at all??
I got an offer from another ?? Citroen team who had longer experience in the WRC but only a 1 year contract with the same objectives as I had before ?? M-sport offered me a longer contract but with a 2016 car, that after finishing 2nd in the championship??

Side note: It's a bit unreal when 1 - 3 WRC2 cars finishing a epic SS in the top 3 :((
It's ok if it's a SSS/ shorter SS depending on the surface though I think...

Someone who shares/ can comment on my thoughts/questions?

Some of these top times are coming from drivers with 100-1000 hrs in dirt rally. Dont know if hard
difficulty should be timed for them.
