I use the bomber intercept over London as the worst case for my testing and I'm happy to see it is now playable. Before patch, I was single digit fps to low teens, with a big stutter when closing on bombers.
Now, with higher settings, I'm a shade about 18 fps. I'm sure if I turned down a few settings (that I honestly don't need with a bomber in my sights) it would be better again.
Tested clouds and mirror out at sea so no other factors involved. Very good fps, but mirror takes 10 fps or so, as does medium clouds, but still have 30 fps so again, playable.
Stutters still appear at the start of a flight, London being the worst, but thereafter are gone, or in London's case, less frequent and much better.
Settings:
High: Model detail, Damage Decal, Visual effects
Medium: Building detail, Land detail, Forest
Low: Building amount, Land shading
Shadows: on
Grass, Roads: off
AA 4x
Personal verdict: a good step forward
