Hey all I wanted to ask what everyone’s feeling are on the new Bop. I liked the old Bop, and to be honest it feels like all that’s changed is all cars have been slowed down but essentially it’s still the same. I like to use the Porsche I could deal with the lack of top speed because the ability to take corners slightly faster made up for the BMW and Supras top speed catching you always on a straight regardless of how poorly they take the corner.
Since this new Bop the Porsche doesn’t seem to be able to corner as good as it once did thus loosing that advantage it had.
I point out this weeks daily race at Watkins glen. I’m seriously at a loss as to how bad the Porsche is. It has extremely heavy understeer in almost every corner and if we compare it to the meta cars this week that were known for understeer like the GTR and BMW I’m surprised that there able to brake later and turn easier then the Porsche. It sort of makes no sense based on physics as I understand it. So I don’t think the Bop was a real good change and has just made the cars slower and easier to stomp on the throttle without fretting about oversteering.
This is a quick thing iv noticed about playing on controller vs Steering Wheel. I think the controller could do with a few buffs. Like giving more breaking pressure and slightly more available steering angle at higher speeds. The difference I notice with the wheel is the ability to brake a lot later and ability to hold tighter lines at speed.
If I watch a replay of the top times, they brake a lot later and the line there able to hold is a lot tighter and allows them to get on the throttle earlier. If I try and recreate it. What I find is that I’m not able to brake as late and turning in at that speed on controller just leads to understanding and any advantage gained by braking later is null and void because you need to slow down to get the car to turn in more.
What do people think about closing the gap between controller and wheel? Just to put it in perspective I post times consistently around 1.5 sec off the top time in the world. I’m A+ but when put in lobbies with these top players I honestly can’t compete in a way that I’m able to keep up due to this factor.
