I can verify that this happens in the infantry showcase as well, I will attach a screenshot showing the spotters above the village.

I tried saving the game at that point to provide a full error state, but reloading the save clears the issue.

I have had this happen once, but am unable to reproduce.

In the helicopter showcase, strafing around the mortar isle at very close range. Helicopter damaged from fire and crashing on cliffs/in the water. Game crashes instantly (before any death animation).
