I have a 4070ti super and a 9800x3d, normally I can run the game ray traced perfectly fine, until someone TOUCHES a tree. Fences, walls, explosions, all fine. It’s the TREES that drop my FPS from mid 90s down to 8, I kid you not. Whenever I get a tree heavy map I know someone will shoot a tree somewhere and my game will practically freeze for a little while until the tree issue has magically resolved itself. On maps without trees life is amazing and the game is beautiful. The trees have however made the game unplayable with RTX on. Please, how can this be resolved.
I am not an expert about this at all lol but have you tried deleting then re-installing the game? Maybe this can resolve your issue? Or, first check for any updates.
You can bug report it here: Gaijin.net // Issues (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about)
A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)
Use only DX11 and do not run anything DX12. Ray Tracing does not work. The game has not been optimized
