I feel pretty much the exact opposite. You need to understand that the limit in PC2 is a territory where you can jugglery the car, that is what the highest level of driving pleasure is all about and why it fascinates ppl since a gentlemen survived the first drift. In ACC the limit (particular when it comes to yaw rate resp. acceleration) is a numb feel in the steering wheel where you are given no information or clue what you may or should do and usual if you still try to push you get a tank slapper. In PC2 especially the old DTM cars, handing in sideways thru the corner is something the game response to properly and keeps giving you information and reacts to inputs. Yes the car wants to go sideways and all you need to do is keep calm and explore the limit that is an area. PC2 rather has the problem that the throttle response on yaw movement is too small. And that higher side slip angles create too little rolling resistance, so driving very aggressive is nearly always quicker. Something you don't like to do from what I hear.Absolutely understand that, but I would expect most cars in the game, including 90s TC/DTM cars to not feel like they are either steering from the rear of the car, or pivoting from the centre of the car. Even when the car is up to temperature I feel I have to tip toe around every corner for fear of it oversteering. I've followed loads of guides on setting up the cars and nothing seems to make any difference.
Take a GT3 car, the 488 for example. In PC2 I'm about 10 seconds a lap slower than I am with ACC in the same car and track. In ACC the car feels balanced, I can tell when the tyres are on the limit. In PC2, it feels like I'm on ice, and the car wants to oversteer in every corner. On entry, mid corner, and exit.
There is one caveat here. I'm c*#p
In ACC the limit is too often a thin linie and balancing on it is only possible to a very certain yaw rate or yaw acceleration value, what can even feel like an arcade number game. In the sense that if you stay below everything is normal and boring, if you're about it doesn't get exciting, it just gets tits up directly with very little in between. I would understand that someone that keeps the slide slip angle as low as possible is much more comfy with ACC but ACC physics lack something that PC2 tire model has, not the other way around.
In other words ACC is a stable deep frozen meal with rarely a piece of gristle in there. While PC2 when the parameters all line up and the tire heating model isn't shitting the bed, is like a gourmet fish and all the fishbones already taken out for you.
