Terrain team is looking into several things at the moment into regarding the base flashing. It might have something to do with the way the game code works and we are looking into that right now.

I haven't checked the logs to see if there were more discos more than usual or not. However, frame 1 players had to download a new version to Japan. After frame 1 we made some quick updates requested by the CM teams and that was built by Skuzzy before frame 2 so again players had to download a new Japan build when they came in the server. The downloading of the terrain by multiple people at the same time does put a strain on the server and could account for the things such as low initial FPS or above average discos.

There is no new build for frame 3 so that should not be a factor.

As for FPS over the large cities, would need films and more information, to see if this is user specific or system wide. The 68th Lightning Lancers put 7 boxes of B29 with escorts and were attacked by a large force of Japanese over a large city with nobody noticing a detrimental drop in their FPS. Now their FPS could have dropped but they didn't notice it during the battle so all I can say is in Krusty's use case he did have a drop in the 68th they didn't have a drop that they noticed.

As an addition/clarification: The drop over the city was managable, but noticable. I wasn't in the 10s or anything, but it did drop to around 30 for a short bit. I can post system specs, but it's a pretty powerful system (new, just built recently).

Sure fire off a note on your system specs. Also notes on your AH video setup if you would.
