Thanks for this, JR. Correct me if I've got this wrong:
1. You and 2 RAF mates attack 6 Br20's AI -- no fps drop
2. You and 1 RAF mate (Spitfires) encounter 2 109's (human-flown) -- big fps drop
3. You (solo Spitfire) encounter single 109 (human-flown) -- no fps drop
I've been finding similar in that I seem to go one-on-one with a 109 with no framerate problem, but if I get in a multi-fighter furball....I seem to get an fps drop. Encountering AI bomber formations do not affect frame rate, but if the bomber formation is flown by human opponents -- major hit on frame rate.
To add to this, my RAF mates and I found a single 110 human-flown low-level raider at Ramsgate could strafe and bomb with impunity from us RAF fighters. As soon as we drew near to stop him -- frame rate would instantly drop to 1 fps. However, there were no CTD's. ( Crash to Desktop ). Right now, who knows? But a pattern seems to be developing which may help the devs troubleshoot down the road.
