Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS
Broken Arrow supports DLSS and FSR. The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first, especially in big battles.
Unit / Model DetailLow+12% FPS
How detailed the many on-screen units are — partly a CPU cost in large battles. High is a safe trim when the field fills up.
Shadow QualityLow+11% FPS
Shadow resolution and range — heavy across a big map. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
Terrain & FoliageLow+7% FPS
Ground detail and vegetation density. High is fine; lower it for frames on weaker GPUs.
Effects / ExplosionsMedium+4% FPS
Explosions, smoke and tracer effects — these tank FPS in heavy firefights. Medium smooths the worst dips.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM. On 8GB cards keep it at High.
