What happened to ATAG online action..?

[SEE]

I posted on the ATAG forum regards the increased size of the AI Bomber formations. My system performed accepably well previous to this latest patch but now, with formations of 30+ AI and other players defending/attacking, ATAG has become virually unplayable.

Even over Hawking at 13K and Flak suddenly appearing, If I engage a single fighter that happens to be at a similar altitude I get lag, low fps, stutters with the end result of complete loss of visual which is critical to the outcome.

Its a shame because the whole experience of MP on ATAG has taken a nosedive. Most of my sorties are to intercept/defend AI formations -my system cannot deal with the low level furballs even if I wanted to - not that I want to anyway. I see combat in a X - Y axis and at 1500ft the Y axis has effectivley been cut in half!
