I can confirm that, same thing happened to me, chose air field, then 110 1943, and game froze, reset, did it again, and same thing.
I even had one "kick" that brought me right to desk top, game was shut down. While I was firing at a easy target too.
(I would like to take this opportunity to correct my last post about being satisfied with the new tracers, it's just the same online, with a pit, I was flying wonder woman while i tested the .13M offline, and there was a improvement on being able to track my line of fire, but with a pit, .50cal are still vague smoke trails with very little tracer).
