Hi Cheesenium... The
PWR is simply Weight
(KG) ÷ Power
(BHP)
The
A categories are a bit hit and miss... I have always kept my version of the Kunos
A tags... until they dropped them, So I'm not sure how they categorised them... for newer cars I basically start with a very basic calculation of...
100bhp-ish at around
1000kg =
A1,
200bhp-ish at around
1000kg =
A2
etc... Trying to take weight into consideration for example...
if a car has
200bhp car but weighs
1600kg I would say that would probably be knocked down to an
A1 tag...
If a car has
200bhp and weighs, say
750 - 800kg then that might get knocked up to an
A3 tag...
Afterwards I would use a car from Kunos (PRE v1.5) around the time when I think they dropped them.. and run a race with them for 5 - 10 laps and see if any of the cars I've added A tags too can compete. (or get left behind)
I can kind of see why Kunos dropped this tagging system... But I personally think they were better than the "small sportscar" tags etc.
Power to Weight ratio works far better the straighter (or higher speed) a track is... When a cirucuit gets twistier... The drivetrain, chassis, downforce and tyres can make a big difference to competitiveness.
I hope this is of some help, great idea if you're adding these tags to mod cars
It's a real shame there hasn't been some standardisation on tags between Kunos & modders.
A few other things...
#A15 cars are drift cars...
#A7 is around the Hypercar area of performance...
as a rough guide #A5 is around about the
PWR 3.0 area...
oh and one final thing...
I don't round up any PWR tags... So if a car has a PWR of 2.92 it gets put in the PWR 2.5 category.... In 0.5 increments
Hope this helps you mate?
