This update seems to be crashing slightly more than usual, but the last server crash happened at a very specific moment for me.

Playing on Muttrah City Coop, fired a TOW at a tank, and the "lost connection" message appeared the very instant the TOW hit. Not a millisecond before or after. No explosion, just saw the rocket effect continue and the tank start floating forward as happens when connection is lost. Had the lower zoom thermals on. It was a server crash as everyone lost connection.

It might just be a coincidence, doubt the TOW to the tank caused it.

Not saying it caused it, saying it triggered it. Maybe it was already unstable and that action changed something that put it over the top. It was surprisingly precise timing! And a relatively small coop server, so not much else going on.

I suck at identifying tanks, sorry! All I know is it was MEC. I also TOWed an APC earlier with no crashing.
