Tried empty loadouts on bombers, changing AI visibility/awareness settings, very low visual settings and this behaviour still remains. I can run missions with 160 109's/spits without getting the same fps loss.

That's my experience anyway
I can test this, original mission I had built for a campaign had 96 bombers total. It ran ok at the time, until the bombs started dropping. That was before the E-4 was implemented, and haven't run it since.

Current mission does run quite well with roughly 50 planes in the air, but like I said, it doesn't have the full complement of triggers/script running behind the scenes either.
