That exactly says it! This game is conceived for the homegrown russian market with a lot of steam-powered computers
(pun intended). They are not aiming at us real hardcore simmers. I got my rig with COD in mind and now I am stuck with this mess:
version 14101 (black death track):
Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg
1325 60000 4 45 22.083
after this patch (black death track):
Frames Time (ms) Min Max Avg
638 60000 5 16 10.633

Just a side-note, I fly IL2 1946 (HSFX 5.1) with 60 FPS average, FSX (all maxed out with REX clouds) with 30 FPS, ROF (max airplane settings, medium landscape) in 3D
with 40 FPS using the same surround setting on the latest Nvidia driver.
Gopher got it completely right and if this continues then this game will just disappear from the market. It already has an awful reputation (PCGamer review) and if they hope for the North American to help them out of their misery, they are dead fish in the water with this policy.
My advice: If you can't meet both sides low end and high end PCs then just create a high end version of COD (COD platinum ...
) and sell it for the double or triple price. You will find a market (look at all those high prized add-ons for the FSX market) and save your reputation which means your economical survival....
At this point, my last hope is with the upcoming "Microsoft FLIGHT"...
