I think it only happens with the merlin, but I don't think i've actually ever flown another transport helo.

will this be fixed in .8?

There is a thread about merlin Lag fix.
Something like get in APC or attack chopper first, then startup Merlin.
Do a search.
Ask Bosco.

Indeed sounds like the merlin/huey lag bug.


However, if you want to fix it in game you can enter either: a gunship pilot seat or an APC gunner seat (tank I think works too) and then get back into the chopper. Magic! You should now have no lag. :)
