You lot need to learn to drive and make better judgment when passing, Only time I have ever been done in by the PIT maneuver was because I tried to cut in front of another car too soon. The Ai should learn to back off the gas when you make such a stupid and arrogant move.
I seem to notice that the complaints always come when you are making a move, it's never when the AI was passing you though. When ever that happens it always on a corner or something like that, where you are more than likely to have made the mistake as the AI can drive even the most broken of cars in the game. I have never seen the AI over take and take the line too early and initiate contact, as of yet this has never been seen. But I'm pretty sure loads of us have done that numerous times to the AI.
@Never One, you're a bad liar. The AI only bumps into you when you brake too early, if they are faster than you, they will go right on around you. I have yet to be rear ended by the AI, unless I had to stop short because of a AI traffic jam, even then they are pretty quick to brake and not hit me. You are either taking a bad line and making moves at ridiculous places, the AI is programmed to take the optimum line and they do move and make adjustments when you are present, but if you either barge your way in or over brake you are causing a situation that even experienced drivers would have issues avoiding.
I drive pretty hard in whatever car I'm using, the AI is constantly adjusting to whatever I am doing, I had a bit of a dog fight just last night in the Japanese championship race on Grand Valley Speedway, I'm running an NSX with 356hp, pretty much stock everything else and the AI cars are about the same in HP. Hard race and I had to battle my way into few different positions, either by out braking deep into corners or slip streaming down the final straight, but not once did the AI deliberately crash into me. I took away their line and they backed off until they could attempt another attack if I made a mistake. Which usually tends to be a wheel in the grass and a fight to stay in control of the now wildly swaying back end.
What is wrong with the AI is it doesn't seem to care when you spin your car sideways, from that moment on you pretty much do not exist, it's as if you presence completely disappears. That is what PD needs to fix about this AI, that is the biggest flaw with the AI, once your car starts to go into a spin you don't seem to register as being on the road at all.
I don't know seems like many complainers here drive ham fisted, and use very little driving techniques. The AI in GT5 tends to trail brake into many turns, you would do well to learn this technique as it does help with staying ahead of them, instead of the usual max out my HP and have the highest grip tires train of thought. Trail braking with a DS3 is not very easy, but it's doable. Anyway tired of the same old complaints and it's for reason always the AI's fault. I would be inclined to believe you, but I also play this game and the only thing that I have seen that is completely correct is what I put in bold. Everything else is down to your bad decisions on the track, the AI can only respond so quickly to so many things, in fact I bet the moves you pull in the game in a real life race would get you fined and tossed from driving to boot.
I have played FM3 online extensively and have noticed that some people are just ham fisted, they will try to win the race in the first corner, usually ending up with a lot of people clipping and rear ending, spinning out , punts into the grass; infinitely more hilarious stuff that what I seen in GT5 AI. Take that as a thought with you. AI rear ending you, it's more than likely that you are too slow, or trying to block him with a late block maneuver.
"Slow down my pace? Take my time? Learn how the game actually works? I don't have time for all that!"
I'll be in the lead, they will draft up and gain speed, and then just RAM me in the back (note: I'm not braking, nor trying to block them either; just plain driving)
