Another data point – the same happens to me with a fairly new system. I do use Radeon Chill to keep my normal FPS at or around 120, but 5-10 minutes into my first game of the session my FPS will drop and sound will start glitching. This usually resolves after around a minute, but it’s consistent in that it happens every time I open the client. Any games after the first of the session will not have this problem.
I’ve deleted my cache for the game, verified game files, DDU’d and reinstalled my graphics drivers, nothing seems to help.
System specs:
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
64 GB RAM
Radeon 7900 XTX
NVMe main and secondary drives
Windows 11
I have the same issue since “Kings of Battle” update. Normally i play on high graphic settings with sufficient fps, now the game drops down to 5 fps so often, that i reduced my settings to low. My game now looks like from the 90s but i still have these massive fps drops. This is not playable for me. I never had this problem in my 10 years of War Thunder
Happens to almost everyone in a round at almost the same time. Going from 140 down to 15-30 for 2-3 seconds. Playing with mates and all of us experience it within 10-30 seconds from when the first one gets the stutter. Been happening for the past week, some small update messed something up recently. Asking if anyone else is getting it in game chat will return several approvals. Never experienced such stutters in WT before.
yeah me to i have had 300-400 fps but now i have 200-340 fps and fps drops in battles note that this time between these two is around 4 months and a computer that have monthly check ups should not run the game that poorly even with minimum or low medium high max or movie the same lag spike happens not any diffrence in avg fps between the settings
People are saying they’re going down to 15fps but mine seems to completely freeze for maybe 1-2 seconds and come back fine. Seems to happen once per game; every game. Started happening in the past few days.

Edit: Actually, it’s happening exactly 4 minutes into the game, at 21:00 game time.
I am having same issue. I have not noticed an exact time it occur,. but I have nearly identical specs… rtx 4090 , ryzen 7950x. It started occurring a few days ago
same issue has been happening here for what seems like the past week. not really sure what started it, but its been getting more and more annoying every time it happens, especially at critical match moments.
hoping it is resolved soon
