To me the sonar modelling with a lot of present contacts when things gets fairly busy uses up a lot of CPU calculation cycles and time acceleration takes a BIG hit (10x max). This seems to primarily occur after significant amount of game hours have passed in long missions.

I think and hope they will optimize and reduce some of the workload sonar demands and spend more time simplifying and reducing complications created by the return to base functionality they have.

I'm all for elaborate return to base carrier aircraft pathing that looks accurate until it fails miserably and locks up the carrier operations with a stuck deck.

I have a similar setup of a Intel i7 with NVIDIA GT1070 with 32 GB of ram.
