Well, I'm on my second patrol using TMO 2.0. I'm assigned to an area west of Truk and once ariving on station (and after reporting to base) was told I had free reign, ordered to find shipping at my discretion and sink it. From previous experience I know there is almost always some action around Truk, so that's where I set course.
I have a very good computer rig and average about 60-62 FPS with max settings. Shortly after arriving in the Truk area my FPS drop to around 18-24 FPS, so I already suspect something is screwy. First time I proceeded inward resulted in a CTD, so now I really know something is screwy. Loaded it back up and made sure not to use any Time Compression this time around. After a little while the FPS eased back up near normal. FOR A SHORT WHILE.....
Finally a contact showed up on radar and then another. I've seen frames rates on my old puter bog down a bit nearby a port or perhaps a very large convoy, but not with this new computer, so I get very curious and can't resist using the exterior view and flying in further to see what may be causing this issue.
I wound up finding something that you would imagine in a Sci-Fi movie or something... there must have been 30-35 ships sunk with their bow or stern still sticking out of the water and they were all nested tightly together. Very strange looking. AND.. I found a couple other groups like this in addition, so there must have been literally well over 100 of them in total. Heck, there may have been more groups yet undiscovered. I ended up abandoning my idea of a trip to Truk. I would have loved to get a screen shot for you guys, but it was early in the morning and the lighting was poor, so I just moved on.
Anyone else sen this phenom? :hmmm:
