Okay, fair enough. However, most of the time Windows isn't going to degrade its performance significantly inside of a few months, unless it installs something, or something changes. I have automatic updates set to manual, and have not run it in months. I haven't done anything with my AV, I have the software firewall disabled, I really haven't done much in respect to bogging the system down.
That's what I meant. Sorry if I used a well-worn phrase in my initial post.
Thing is, I'm getting 13-15 FPS while still 6k+ over tank town. I never used to dip that low. I used to dip down to mid 20s or mid 30s, even at the worst.
EDIT: Oh, and, pulling up task manager, it sits at 0% except with a spike to 2% or (much less frequent) 4% every 5-10 seconds. I have 27 processes running, pared down from 40 or so from default. My net status in-game is always steady.
EDIT2: Bronk, I don't lose FPS much if at all when lighting up B-24s. I don't know if the problem over TT is volume or not, because aircraft in the air OVER tank town are warping to hell and gone (got some of this on film a few times) where they totally disappear past 5k then reappear 1.5k off your nose HOing you [had this happen a couple days ago] <-- also got that on film.
It usually gets warpy as heck around TT and laggy as heck. Nowhere else. No other situations. I can have a CV on fire and 3 sets of flaming bombers over it and puffy ack going off like mad and still have nice FPS, but TT (recently) just kills it.
