Basically the way damage adds value to the video game sim is that it gives a linear progression of penalties for driving poorly.
I don't see how tire wear is ok, but car damage is not. Especially since tire wear in any game is way off. Even the stickiest of tires don't warm up for a few laps, but they'll all last for several laps. In any of the games the super slicks barely last 4 laps.]]>Apr 4th 2008 1:25PM
