One or two guys simply remained "stitched" to me, although they continued to input 1.5-1.7 w/kg. Then, when I tried to draft them with the same 1.5-1.7 w/kg, they dropped me hard with the same 1.5-1.7 w/kg. Like a "punishment" .
I prefer something more realistic, even if it's not perfect...

I’ve noticed similar things. Zwift has some weirdness, to be sure. All that $$$ they make and they still make riders drive through each other, trying to occupy the same space at the same time, even passing directly through each others’ eyeballs. That’s a terrible interface. (Pun intended.)
