OK finally got my RMA replacement for work laptop so I gave it a spin.
First run on battery with laptop doing some slight internet surfing and getting all the drivers up to date before running the game netted time of 19.04 minutes.
Second run done right after the first one but this time on power supply netted - 21.06
And the third one ended with 21.33 minutes.
The only massive slowdowns were during the last airfight, other than that I don't think I saw the simspeed dip below 0.
Honestly the game is more than playable even though it's a business machine.
As for the specification its
I5-8250U
16gb dual channel ddr4 2666mhz
R520
In Vostro package.
Edit: In lobby score shows 187 cpu.
