I agree the physics are better on WDT but there's just something about them that doesn't feel right to me. I think it may be that they don't have much traction and it's really easy to get into a slide. Might be something to do with their tyres. I do some skids IRL too, although not full on drift days at tracks, just in car parks and deserted roads (Z4 E85). I also used to play Arma a lot and know exactly what you're on about there.

I find Shutoko is much better when you have more than 1 friend playing with you. Other than that I find it a laggy mess. Could be really fun in public lobbies once it's optimised a bit.

It's sad the drift scene has gone this way, hopefully there's a resurgence of servers with a bit of variety when a really really good mod comes out. That seems to be the way it happens. Maybe I'll have to try and find some drift communities on Discord in the mean time, are you in any active ones?
