I know people have been complaining about this for some time now. I was not sure if anyone had taken the time to actually go and take video evidence of it, along with posting their PC specs as well.
This is my rig and is only about 60 to 90 days old so.
i7 6700k
MSI Nvidia 1060
16GB RAM
SSD(arma loaded on it)
1TB SATA hd
(CPU is water cooled if that makes any difference)
I want to say that I do not know anything about "behind the scenes" designing/scripting that goes into the server. What I can tell is that this is an issue for me with a decent and fairly new computer.
Hate to see what it does for those less fortunate that cant afford a new PC or have the option to get one for whatever reason. From 60 to 40 frames you can notice but still play. From 25-30 to drop to 10-15 well that happens to be nearly unplayable, I used to be there.
Both Videos are 2:30 long. Show the same route take from outside of render distance to render in on the main airfield R&R HQ I show my settings in both to confirm the settings are the same for both, as well as time for restart, one is right before and right after a restart.
This first video here is the one right after the restart, you can see I start at 60 frames then once I fly to the hospital I start to drop and end up in the mid to upper 30 FPS, then they begin to level back out once I begin to fly away from hospital.

This second video is right before a restart, same path was taken and I start with 6 frames as well. When entering render distance on the hospital my game actually freeze frames for a short moment and then comes back, I drop down to the low of 28 FPS from 60 where I started. This only ever happens at hospitals as most of us know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNU5bWquikk
The designing looks good sure but who would want to sacrifice performance for this? Highly considering that we already have enough issues causing the texture bugs that currently no one can fix.
This isn't intended to start flame, but I took the time to do it and I'm tired so if you say anything negative you can fuck yourself, I don't have the patience for shit.
If helps it helps, if it cant help then oh well.
