Can I just give my opinion? I really don't want to cause trouble or sound offensive, but I feel like I just need to comment on some of the things you said.
Against it, 100%. With 2 drivers that's 3200-4000cr lost each season. Didn't invest >40.000cr in my drivers' skills for that.
But why? This doesn't apply just to your drivers, but to all drivers. If you keep investing into your drivers you'll just hit the cap and everyone will hit the cap and 1) the driver gap you have now will be lost, and 2) there will only be a set of good drivers who will be actual lightyears faster than the rest, so the teams stuck with weak drivers will have their season ruined before it started. (as you say, >40000cr is difficult to invest into a driver, especially when you aren't getting 1-2s all the time like BRT did).
If anything I think this change favours you more than me, and it definetly favours the non-top teams which is better for the game overall.
Is that due to me telling you that I calculated the setup values?
Of course it's not because
you did them.. No offense but that's very childish of you to think that. I calculated setups too and Omer knows about it, it's suprisingly easy and there's nothing special about it.
Don't we already have the fuel upgrade for that? Unnecessary imo.
What?! High amounts of fuel burned per lap was the cause of many DNFs, and not only for me, but even for Aidan, and even for Alonso in Monaco! It will only mean the retirement list won't be full of "Out of fuel" retirements, which is really good for the game.
There's no more point in having a sister team if you do this. Leave as is, or scrap them altogether. Refund then though.
This. I already said it earlier but doing this would just ruin any reasons to have a sister team. Well, unless drivers from the sister team can be directly transferred to the main team, but that might be a bit too OP.
Re. topic 4, seriously?!? The team which is affected by it will be completely screwed. No income for finishing position, less or no sponsor income.
Not completely in case of #2, which is why I went with #2 to avoid a repeat of GPTCC S4.
Honestly speaking, you guys simply screwed up on way too many occasions. I'm about 90% sure that Apex would've taken at least one win if Milos didn't miscalculate fuel for R6&7. Or you, 3 races with 0 points, then stopped engine development. Sasha often missed updates. Aidan could've been in podium position if he wasn't doing things a bit half-assed. Aaron might have had a shot at winning round 1 if he had more exprience at that point, I think at that time Ferrari was still superior.
I couldn't agree more!
But.
You mentioned many excuses here as to why others were uncompetitive. And this wasn't just one person, you mentioned 5 names here, taking care of 7 teams. There were 10 managers when we started (I don't know if
@rubaru was there from the start?), which means 50% of managers just blew it. 50% is a high number, and it's not to say this is
a bunch of noobs because it isn't: Sasha and Tapio both won championships, and I was a strong championship contender in season 3. With such a strong field of managers making mistakes, surely, surely there is something wrong with the game instead?
No? Well what about the other 50% then? Except for you, the rest were simply incompetitive too. Think about it: this many managers being so incompetitive can't be a coincidence. I spent too much time every day for the Canada race checking my options, checking my fuelloads and paces, trying not to **** up the strategy again, and many people (me included) simply don't have the time to do this every day even in exam periods. Therefore I look forward to any changes making the game simplier
