i just cant believe why this game take so much hit on PC requirements so i decided to play with it more to see whats taking up all the resources.
one of my main problem about my framerate was because of the program FRAPS.i guess its a bug or something thats keeping my framerates down whenever i play the game with FRAPS enabled.after figuring that out..i also updated my video driver.i was using a beta version and it seems that it was slowing the whole game down due to being its a "beta" driver.got me an official 91.47 WHQL certified" driver and the game picked up more frames.
im now playing the game with 1600 X 1200 res and all the video setting maxxed out(yes.even antialiasing is enabled).the only featur thats not maxxed out @ this resolution is "texture detail" which i have it set to high (low,medium,high and ultra options) cause even on high settings..i would still get some slowdowns and setting it to ultra will really kill my framerate.

playing with the options more and trying to figure out some reasons why it still eats up alot of resource..i realized that all the features in the game options really move alot if you set them to high.
physic = this will make your gunners move their arms when shooting.
tree quality = trees gets more details and sways with the winds and vehicles moving/running them down.
terrain details = self explanatory
effects fidelity = this controls the explosions.smokes and flying debris wouls still move long after a buildings been destroyed cause of impact,physics,gravity and projections.
effect density = controls the smokes of fireing guns/cannons/smoke screen and the likes.
add the fact that all the movements are accompanied by switching shadows.especially when missles are fired.
i messed around with the zoom and found out how they work all together.
heres one example of 2 guys(1 gunner and 1 sniper) when you place them inside a turret.most game will just show guns sticking out of a turret once you put the guys inside but here...they actually still show the guy inside moving around.

next.i checked out the guys inside a tank and to my surprise..the guys actually even simulate the changing of bullets after the tank fires and even covers their ears as it shoots.pretty cool,huh?

lastly..i downloaded a trainer since the game will only allow upto 125 squad/army and the trainer i got will allow you to have as many army/tanks/people you want just to see how crazy it looks..lol
have fun.

for your twisted request of flying body parts..lo lits kinda hard to grab the pictures cause they just fly all over when they get hit.
sorry for the SLI greenline on the leftside too.i was testing to make sure both my videocards were working due to slow framerates.thats not actually part of the game but an option for my SLI ;D
