Have you tried this Mr fox

Same as, but the crash/freeze sound is the same brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr sometimes it doesn't even do that
2.44
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ME!
pretty much the same as this issue in bc2
I used to get that same crash while running afterburner. Seen some fixes that say about disabling onboard audio in bios and installing another sound card, yet people with xonar cards are getting the same issue =/
Thats what ive got a few times today,. just a freeze up with altf4 needed
Shame to hear all those suffering connection issues. Could it be due to connectivity or routers etc? I've had a rock solid connection for the last 4 weeks, not a single issue with connection though have infinity 38/8.
If anything I'm getting frustrated with the leveling up. I don't have a lot of time to play so now I'm constantly nailed by holo, IRNV or x8 scopes. Makes it hard work and quite dull. The added constant air rape where you're gunned down by a jet or a chopper before you even get to challenge a cap point to try and get some 1:1 combat is also a royal pain. Dice need to re balance e.g. so that flares only work 4 seconds after lockon.... that would mean pilots would have to maintain a little distance rather than the close proximity devastation they cause now.
Generally finding that in the mid size 32 player servers some of the big maps are too vehicle dependent so ground forces are just easy points.... especially tanks with INRV....
Shame.... getting bored of this game quickly now.

Thats why you have you ground troops spot the enemies, no need for thermal optics.
Havent been killed many times with helis using thermal optics but gunners and pilots running flares and lock on weapons means they own, they are practically invincible. Taking out a fully loaded competent chopper / gunner combo is nigh on impossible.
You are better off jumping in a tank and trying to hit them with the shells
Seen good pilots in jets get owned very easily by choppers, very easily indeed.

That was me and TFCrazy from on here.
That 1 death was when we both forgot to equip flares and had other unlocks. Once we got that rectified, problem solved and we stayed up all game.
Stealth is not stackable so both gunner and pilot using it is a waste of an upgrade/unlock for the chopper.
Some people seem to think it is, seen numerous people talking about "double stealth" like it adds even more to the already ludicrous lockon time.
Dice so need to fix this ... aircraft are too hard to take down. Needs to be close aircraft = easy ... make the pilots work at a distance. Also bombing the spawn point equipment should be instant death
Ran into my fair share of that, on kharg the other day tv missiles and rocket spam raping the russian base. Infinite ammo, clearly a great idea.
This is the same guy who said that flares were working on helicopters in the pc version of bc2, and to prove it, he tested the 360 version. This was at a time when they were totally broken on Pc.
That being said i dont think they are stackable as ive not noticed any longer lock on times from people running it than on regular single stealth.
Stackable flares though is somewhat eyebrow raising.
Not really, as it means you both have to forgo some of the better unlocks.
Loosing your Zoom / Thermal optics as a gunner really does reduce your effectiveness to see targets on crowded maps like Kharg Island
If you have people spotting its not that much of an issue. Pretty sure the helicopter guns have a decent bit of splash damage to them so its not like you have to be amazingly accurate, spamming a general area can result in a few kills. Plus from what i can recall they can demolish buildings quite fast.
