You say it will add more variable strategies but it will only take people a few weeks to figure out the best ones and everyone will be using the same ones and people will be back on here asking for a super ultra soft.
Do you not find it all the more rewarding beating someone with the exact same strategy?

I have 2 reasons
1) I'm stuck as the 3rd best team and my last win was on Hungary two seasons back (no matter if I'm copying the strat or making a new one)
2) With the purple US, all tyres will be recalibrated (& new strategies will appear)
P.S.) No Andy, I don't find it more rewarding to win somebody with the exactly same strategy.

So you hope that if the tyres are recalibrated you will work out the new best strategy before your competitors. Do you think this is likely? Perhaps if you are currently running exactly the same strategies as your competitors and still losing you need to be looking at something other than tyres.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising because I also have a lot of experience of not being able to beat one or two other managers but I don't think introducing more tyre compounds would have helped me. I might have got one or two lucky wins but over the long term the other managers would also have adapted to the new compounds.

I appreciate your argument Kevin, but I think that yes, the US tyre can give me another (aggressive) strategy to beat them. And also the SS wears out too fast (except in Monaco)
I also got some wins, the last one in Hungary, 2 seasons ago (where I beat them fair and square).
P.S.) In my league, where trying new strategies (with more failures than success)

Well, at least, let's have the same dry compunds as the F1 2016. || {now we are like in 2012)
P.S.) I think that 7 dry compounds would be a madness; but 5 dry compounds would make sense
What are these different tyres?
Wet, Inter, Hard, Slightly-hard, Medium, Soft, Super-soft, Ultra-soft, Hyper-soft.
Different compounds for different circuits, because it depends on layout, weather conditions, tarmac roughness, there are a lot of facts we have to consider before selecting a compound.
The SS in game is already like US irl,the SS can't survive 5-6 laps in Belgium so US can survive 3 laps at most.It is not necessary to add a useless compound for the long run only 9 tenths faster than the fastest tire atm.This compound will be as useless as Mediums
Yes Duc but we can still copy 2017 F1 with what we have.
2 examples
Belgium: US, SS & S translates to SS, S & M for us here in iGP
Italy: SS, S & M translates to S, M & H

I agree, and it may be nice to have more choice based on various parameters
It would be all more realistic

Big problem is realistic isn't fast lol
Malaysia real life 2 stop race using SS(11), S(22) & SS(22) Only way we can do that is S(11) 8% wear & M(22) 4% wear
The track gets faster as the race goes on but the tyre wear rates remain the same from start to finish. Real life cars get lighter and the track rubbers in causing less wear
