i7-14700K with a 4080  gpu  OC, with liquid cooler

That is a strong rig and like the others said, there shouldn't be anything in AH3 to make it even warm up to normal operating temp.

I would double check stuff to make sure that you have the correct gpu selected and you're not somehow using an integrated GPU or something crazy.

There's nothing in AH3 that should slow that rig down even a little. Something's not right.

No kidding, I have a 12th gen i7 and 1080ti and can run AH full bore, including VR.

or you could cut a hole in a post-it and draw all the lines and heading numbers you could fit a stick it on your screen where the analog airplane is.

Good luck finding 5 players willing to make three 10 minute flight/drives to resupply -- the most boring aspect of the game.

Also, don't forget to add the time required to resupply field assets that are destroyed while the strat resupply effort is underway.  More time spent in the most boring aspect of the game.

The intent would be to discourage mass resupping, I would hope it would be hard to find 5 guys, otherwise whats the point of hitting strats?

Hah. You made that look so easy.

In my experience when those Mig-21s show up they're hauling donut and have 3 or 4 buddies with them.

There is something I should have shown in that video but it was really about just getting started in the plane, not the various nuances. What I should have shown was how and why to uncage a missile. With the Aim-9 caged it only "looks" straight ahead as oriented by the rack it is hanging from. By uncaging you let it track off boresight so you can pull your nose in front of the aircraft you are attacking and give the missile shot a bit of lead. 

Like this one from 3 years ago.

When you say powerful, do you mean powerful CPU or powerful GPU or both? I see people with stuff like 14900s who are using integrated graphics. Yes they have a "powerful" PC but it's not a powerful "gaming" machine.

"Trickle down economics" is just a buzzword.

How can it be a buzzword if it's been popularized for 45 years and been around for nearly 100?
