Tuck in?

[A.I.K. ± Ghost Army]

Can anyone explain to me about auto tuck in.

Because i thought you tuck in when you are in a straight line...thats it. Or coming out of certain corners onto straights you tuck in ASAP as youre straightning up the bike. Some corners you even "tuck out" more coming out of them to steer the bike more whilst keeping it more upright and being able to give more throttle than staying in a lean.

But now seeing others ghost i realise that people's riders are leaning more than mine. The riders head comes down, basically ala Marquez style.

Seems to give an advantage on full lean to run tighter quicker lines?

and is that an advantage to use this flaw in the game? because it looks like they can lean and run much tighter faster lines.

I have to press the tuck-in button even on if its set on auto mid corner to get that lean. Which obviously i can't do because i don't have 2000 fingers.

Also how come "tuck in" helps at full lean!?

You never tuck in whilst draggin your knee, you tuck out than in. Well they used to do it old school style, Troy Bayliss used to tuck in going around a corner.

Am i getting this wrong or is this another major ♥♥♥♥ up from Milestone?

Because if you choose old school style of riding for your rider. You press "tuck in" and he leans like modern style. So this is the most stupid feature ever then!

On auto tuck in it only works in a straight line, you don't get extra lean on auto.

oh man

The 'tuck in' is definitely is an advantage if you know how to use it correctly at certain corners. This feature is also in Ride 2.

If you're in the right gear, beast at braking, and make sure you trail brake into the turn
then it would be ideal to tuck in right at the apex, then cut right out. Imo Sepang has great
corners where you can use tuck in to cut towards the apex.

Also how come "tuck in" helps at full lean!?
In my experience it helps only if you're not acclerating while taking a corner. It also seems
to oversteer the bike which helps shoot out at certain corners. imo really helps in rain races when you're coming out of a corner.

These are just my oberservations while playing the game. If anyone wants to add on to what I have to say please do so. I have also thought a lot about the "tuck in" feature and how to use it competitively, but it's hard to master.

i think he is asking why other riders lean off the bike in corners. its not tuck in. its riding style he is talking about.

Well theoretically tuck in should be used for lowering aerodynamic drag. But... Unfortunately no matter if you are tucked in or not you can reach the same top speed or have the same acceleration.

@laghard, thanks for the info.

So as i expected tuck-in is wrongly done in the game and should be removed.

Tucking in a straight line is so obvious part of riding races. There is actually no point in having the option of "not tucking in".

The tuck-in function in the game is to gain mid corner or coming out of corner as laghard explains.
Which is just part of steering the bike and nothing to do with "tucking".

In real life you never see riders "tucking" more to get more lean. They have a riding style and they stick to it. They don't go to a certain lean angle and leave a small percentage so they can "tuck in" more.

Also as i explained in real life they tuck out more to steer the bike coming out of corners now a days.

So the whole tuck-in is flawed and should be removed.
