I have established that the i3 4170 in one of the PC's is the bottleneck as I am getting almost the same frames during games with the 2060S when compared to the 1070. Is it the game (Warthunder not making use of the 2060) or the CPU that is causing the bottleneck?

2060 Super and minimum CPU requirement

That's a pretty weak CPU to be pairing with a 2060S, I'd absolutely blame the CPU in this case.
You could easily confirm it for yourself by using the MSI Afterburner OSD while in game, set it to display CPU usage for each core and GPU usage. I'm guessing you'll see your CPU cores maxed at 100% and much lower GPU usage.
With a 1070 you'd have been better off spending the £300 + I'm guessing you spent on the 2060S, on a Ryzen 3600/B450/16GB of DDR4.

The i3 was a bottleneck with the 1070. Like, what are you doing 
?
1070 to a 2060s is a bad upgrade as well IMO.
