I am getting the second long freezes and stutters as well. I get them when changing views (~30% of time), when I pull trigger (with or without tracers), when a b17 is close and when more than one con is close (under 800yds).
Also, if I enlarge the text box, hit / or close clipboard it takes about 1 to 2 secs for that area to be filled in. The area is white and fills in in a raster pattern of large blocks. I tried to get a screen, but failed.
...and as many have stated, the ground/water is much to dark. It's as if light is not reaching it.

WinXP Pro SP1
