 I don't want the elimination of clouds, but I think  like trees, there are way to much of It.

I'd personally like to see less trees and more towns, buildings, and factories. I'm sure it wouldnt help people frame rates but it would look purty on the map.

I think they did reduce the trees once with one update I felt like I was tanking in Oregon lol but I would like to see violators 109 automatically burst into flames when he gets with in 1.5k of me :devil when can I expect that update hitech?

Since I built the new Rig, I have no FR issue with all graphics set to max.

Love the clouds.... (Best new thing added to the game...ever)

Love lots of trees.  Makes the dive bombers work for a living. Makes tanking more of a fight on the move, then a long range shooting gallery.  they are pretty too.

I love clouds! The clouds are much improved since they introduced them (framerate wise). For me the more clouds the better (not always of cours). Fighting in them and losing your opponent. It gives so much more depth to the game. Besides they also flesh out the sky. I understand some ppl there computers are not that great, but to run AH it already doesn't really take a very good computer.

     Clouds may be costing customers, or new subscribers.  A lot of laptops being sold this xmas season have had  mediocre performance. I wonder how many older  retirement age owners of these laptops may try AH# and have it work ok initially, but then have issues after It gets cloudy and give up.

I have a mid-level graphics card, and clouds have very little effect on frame rate -- except when inside the cloud and then frame rate doesn't mean much since all I see is gray.

Of all the graphics changes with AH3, I like the clouds best.

Buying a mediocre laptop for gaming is like expecting a family car score in a race. It's not clouds only, it's the entire graphics. That's why they publish minimum and preferred requirements for every single game on the market. If people don't read them, it's their fault. If you want to blame someone else than the buyer, blame the ones selling a mediocre computer without carefully checking what the customer wants to do with it.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

The blame really seems to me to rest on both sides.  People have a tendency to assume a new computer means it will run everything they want without thinking about what they're actually going to use it for.  I've seen quite a few people say, "Oh, I just want a basic computer."  Then they want to play Fallout 4 or something along those lines and wonder why they can't.

If you're going to game on PC, you need to educate yourself on what it takes to run games.

The GTX1060 will drop around 80 bucks in price (maybe more) once bitcoin miners realize their total system power consumption cost more than they make "mining".
