FMB Fun - IL2 Cliffs of Dover 72 JU88 Bombers vs 6 Spitfire IIa

Well, I don't know what to say.. I've made a mission with an obscene number of stukas and flak sometime in the months after the release (I still think I have it somewhere on my HDD), and it was working fine for me. large number of aircrafts always worked fine for me on my system (and the only thing I've changed in it was upgrading from a 560 Ti SOC to a 680 OC, both gigabyte).

It depends on the aircraft type.
I just did a couple of runs of the same mission and changed the bombers to JU87s and another as HE 111 and the FPS was much higher.

JU88 12-20FPS
JU87 25-40FPS
HE111 21-30FPS

Same number of aircraft just different model.
Maybe there is an AI bug in the JU88 eating up CPU cycles? I know someone has mentioned something like this before with FPS dropping whenever around JU88s.

it might be the case.. the model doesn't seem to be much more detailed than the Ju87 or He111 ones.. maybe it has a little bit more alpha?

yet.. there was a mission, again sometime back then after the launch of the game, with a huge number of Ju88s in a single raid, mixed with some 110s too.. and again I remember flying that mission without any kind of problem..
