Have the devs noticed the Merlin behaving like the Saxon did in an earlier patch?

i can play ghost train with fairly high FPS 50-80
and everything is fine until i get into the merlin
it seems to stutter like the Saxon did in an earlier patch
the screen freezes for a split second like network lag and the FPS drop down every time it freezes

i have tried this in all the other choppers and they all work perfect the Chinese z8 on OGT being a prime example, same map, diff chopper, no lag.

please can someone respond and tell me its ok, it has been noticed before and is going to be fixed lol

failing that any one to back me up so I'm not going crazy will do

i have the same problem intens lag when i get in the merlin on ogt.

I've been getting this sometimes aswell.

I get that for the first 3-5 minutes in a round (and no my comp is not ****, it can run BF2142 on higher graphics with a higher performance).

unless you're on some multi thousand £/$ xtreme gaming machine you're always gonna get this couple of minutes of apparent lag at the start of a map with the amount of graphical ram and physical ram there is to load. Try turning down the draw distance and graphics and i bet you'll notice a diff. i found adding another gig really helped but i stil get a slight ammount of "lag" when i play my first game.

i found that out today..that i got that problem

We are aware that the Merlin is causing some lag. Known issue

It's to do with how the heli reacts with the surface material I believe

another thing we noticed while preparing for the torney is that the chines AA dos not lock on to the merlin

dont mean to nag but its happening again and quite severe this time round

the beta 605/6 was a big improvement on its stability but 607 has gone backwards and it now seams worse than ever

Lags badly at Aiprot (Basrah). Probably an Airport bug.

it lags both in air away from aiport and over airport so it cant be region triggered

and no its not basrah lag as any other vehicle on the map is perfect including the apachie for example even over the city .
