I have noticed similar issues, I updated to the most recent update last night trying to bugtest an issue I've ran into, I'll get into that shortly. But with this most recent update I have also ran into weapons not firing, or not firing properly, most notably the Ion pulser and the Autopulse laser. With the previous version of the mod (1.23.4) the weapons work just fine, they fire in long burst as long as they have a target, until their charge is drained and have to recharge. But with the most latest version (1.25.0) they simply wont fire at all or fire in a very short burst and then.. just not firing again for a few seconds. Even with a target well within range.
With the previous version I was also able to control them myself just fine, firing off into space without a target (and with a target). But with the most latest version I cannot fire into space without a target. And even with a target, and mousing over the red circle and well within range, the guns will still not fire properly. It seems very temperamental, as it'll
sometimes fire off a short burst, but then simply stop before all shots are.. shot, as if it doesn't register that I'm still holding down the mouse button.
That's about it for that. Onto the other issue.
I've had infrequent CTDs sometimes, either in the middle of battle or just at the end of battles. (Just had one right now fighting a Remnant fleet). I get a "Fatal: Null - Check starsector.log for more info." message and finding this file gives me the following text.

I do run a handful of mods, but none I can see that would cause a conflict with Realistic Combat, at least from what I tell reading the crashlog myself. I posted in the general bug report forum last night, and was told that it was most likely an issue with Realistic Combat.. hence why I am here.
The mods I run (Realistic Combat, Combat chatter, Fleet Action History, Fuel Siphoning, LazyLib, MagicLib, Autosave and Terraforming & Stations). At the time of posting the original comment last night it involved the "Special ships", the automated defences around a Hypershunt that breaks apart into smaller ships when destroyed? (I don't actually know the name of them yet) It crashes a second or two after one of them breaks up.
The other time it happens is right after a battle has been concluded. Mostly with pirates (as those are the ones I fight the most), but also now occasionally some Remnant ships and mostly when it comes to very large fleets. I've been able to circumvent the issue by just.. not doing the battles, but it's not always I can do that, and since it happens so infrequently and I've honestly no idea when it will happen.
TL;DR?
v1.23.4 crashes at the end of battles or in the middle of battles. Energy weapons work fine (Far as I can tell) whilst kinetic does have issues firing.
v1.25.0 crashes at the end of battles or in the middle of battles. Energy weapons experience similar issues to kinetic (Sustained Beam weapons like PDs, and missiles work just fine) and have issues firing properly or at all.
