Can someone suggest a better approach for handling acceleration and friction in Unity car games?
14:57 06 Apr 2026

In my Unity game, I’m trying to implement realistic car movement. Should I be using WheelColliders for better control over acceleration, braking, and friction, or is there a custom physics-based method that works more effectively for this kind of car setup? I’m looking for guidance or best practices on achieving smooth and responsive car handling without sacrificing performance. Any tips or recommended approaches would be really helpful.
