Random lag spikes since update

So since the major update, I’ve been experiencing nothing but issues. Started off with MASSIVE frame drops (from 150 to as low as 10) when going into optics in Tanks, then having the game freeze in the loading screen returning to hangar after every 2nd or 3rd match and now since one of these minor updates I’m getting seemingly random lag spikes that completely freeze the game for a solid 5 seconds before going back to normal which ALWAYS results in my game being cut short from either being shot in that time or my jet being aimed directly at the ground when I get control back and god damn is it frustrating and demotivating.

I know I’m not the only one but I have to ask, What’s the go with this update? And has anyone found anything that can help remedy these issues? I’ve been playing since 2013 and never have I seen the game in such a broken state.

All my drivers are up to date, my PC is more than capable of running the game.

I’m playing the game on a piece of trash Xbox Series S. I doubt I even get 30 frames (I don’t know what they target, but it’s a bit jumpy)

My only problem is with Xbox’s quick resume feature. It caches the game onto SSD and sometimes when I load War Thunder, it says “cannot play due to lack of internet connection” even though it’s connected. I had to go into my Xbox settings and do a full shutdown, then turn the Xbox back on, which cleared the problem.

As for lag spikes, I get constant non-network performance drops. Heck even opening the score screen in a match, I notice it sometimes takes half a second for the UI graphics to pop-in.

I just trained my eyes to control the bleeding, and I continue to enjoy the game.
