Review Note:

I installed the game through Steam, and it plays flawlessly. I can easily get 100-120 fps on the "Max" preset at native resolution, that occasionally dips down to around 80 fps. When playing at the absolute best, movie preset on the "standard" launcher (so no extra assets, etc) I still get consistently above 70 fps.

It uses Metal, so it's very playable, highly recommended.

Review Note:

I installed the Wargaming Game Center from the official website, but apparently it uses an old version of Crossover under the hood, thus resulting in not the best performance.
The main issue is, that while the FPS is generally really good, but even at low graphics, where I get 100-120 fps, the game has micro-stutters (maybe issue with frame pacing or 1% lows ??), which makes it really annoying to aim. Additionally some assets mainly, UI elements load slowly and there are occasional crashes too
