For strike missions I like to load tons of iron (preferably Snakeeyes), but my favourite loadout is for SEAD missions: Shrikes, ARMs and some iron or cluster bombs.
Well, I am getting crashes in WOV/WOE (merged) all the time, no matter if I am in the cockpit or using the outside views. And no, this is not a Radeon-only issue, I have a GF 7950GT...
