Since I started playing the Horizon series in 2018 with FH4 coming to PC, and putting down over 2k hours total in FH4 and FH5, and now really enjoying FH6 putting down 20+ hours in 2 days, I've always been annoyed by the expert and above AI.

There's always at least 1,2 and sometimes even 3 AI cars that are about 5 seconds faster than the rest of the AI drivers, they insantly forget how to drive once you overtake them, but if you don't do it in the first few corners then you may just as well restart.

Unless you get a really good car, PI and tune combination (which isn't possible for every car and PI, even those that the car is in by default), you'll spend a lot of time watching the back of the same exact car going somehow 30kmh faster than you on a straight.

It's not even the fact that it's too hard, that's the point of the highest difficulties. It's just so immersion breaking when you realise it's the same script every race over and over, and it's gone completely unchanged for at least 8 years.

Is it possible to beat them fair with no wall-riding and ramming? Yes.
Is it breaking my immersion every time theres 1 AI Verstappen and 10 AI Mazepins every race? Also yes.
Is it a big deal? Probably not.
Is it a skill issue, and im just crying for no reason? Maybe.

What do you guys think? I can't be alone in noticing, and being annoyed by that.

I've bought my Cloud Core 1 headset in late 2016 or early 2017, so it's going to soon be a decade of using them.

I absolutely love them, they're great for games, good enough for music, the mic isn't a hindrance.

The thing is, they still work great, absolutely flawless mechanically wise.

They're a little disgusting though. All parts are 100% original from the box as I bought them, earcups, microphone and all. The plastic on the headset itself turned a little sticky, there is no more "leather" or whatever it was on the earcups and bottom part of the headband. And they just feel a little uncomfortable after a long session due to all the things they've soaked up over 10 years.

And before someones says just clean them and get new earcups. I can change the earcups true, but the rest is just extremely worn out plastic, trust me, it cannot be cleaned by this point.

What's the next logical upgrade, if I had to upgrade? I want prefferably the same but a little better, or at the very least the absolute same. I've seen a lot of pros using Cloud 2s, a bunch of Cloud 3s and very few Alphas.

Also what's the wirless experience? I've been on a wire my whole life so I'm used to it, is there any point to changing to wireless for someone who doesn't really care about a wire?
