I have some too when flying really low, but generally speaking they are the same thing i used to have some years ago when IL2 was still new and i7 PCs didn't exist yet.

I don't know if it's GPU or CPU related, but they are exactly similar to what i used to have when running pacific fighters on an AthlonXP with a geforce mx440, small pauses when there's a chunk of data that needs to be cached for the first time. Heck, i remember running IL2 at 800x600 and still getting the occasional pause when i had a lot of aircraft on screen at once with a cloudy sky.

After a while i managed to identify where it was most likely to occur, i realized i would need to wait for a better PC but i could still work around it to the point that it wasn't breaking gameplay . I started flying in a way that minimized the chances of it occurring and it also helped me fly better (since i was most likely to use wide views i maintained a better SA and spent less time in dogfights and more time in executing hit and run attacks), then better patches and better PCs came along and the rest is history.

Maybe the fact that i was used to running IL2 on mid to low end PCs for much of its life makes it easier for me to cope with similar issues in CoD and not even notice some of them, who knows.
