Egads! Massive frame rate hit when searchlighted

schlechter pfennig · 05-04-10, 07:44 PM

I usually get between 20 -40 fps out at sea, even with a lot of ships around me (like a convoy; port is another story entirely). After making a surface attack on a convoy in the middle of the night, a soon as the eels went off I was lit up like nobody's business. Considering I launched 400 meters from some gawdawful big merchant I didn't have a lot of time to get moving away.

No sooner did all those searchlights hit me then my frame rate dropped down to 2 - 4! Not exactly what you want happening as a Black Swan a mere 1,700 meters away also had you spotlighted!

Is such a frame rate hit normal when a lot of searchlights are on?
