They should remove collision all together in the Warpgate. It would solve the turret griefing and all the crashing/flipping of vehicles.

I haven't tried it with a turret, but if you park your vehicle over the exit - the defender will die + you will also get credit for the kill.

TBH - I don't see a lot of people actually using that particular tech plant tunnel... it's obviously better to have it, than to not have it... but, I think the ones at the amp stations are a lot more functional and effective for the defenders.

It's super easy to disable the SCU force field on a tech plant, compared to an amp station. You can just walk right in and do it... It's even easier than pre-patch.

Want to put a turret on a 10 degree slope? Denied!

Want to hover it over an open manhole? Not a problem!

lol, ironic that you cant place turrets nearly anywhere that isn't completely flat, yet you can place it there XD

Hover turrets are a feature guys, move along

Hover turret is a new cert option for the VS engy. Incorporated tech from the Magrider.

No, but he was a programmer for Microsoft for a dacade or so, if I remember correctly. Show some respect, you don't know these people at all and it's not your place (or anyones's place) to put them down. What you said was entirely unhelpful. If you have suggestions, great share them, but if you just want to be a dick, keep it to yourself.

I have started to refer to the tunnel exits located in the tech plants as the "Floor Anus"; It poops out chocolaty packets of XP goodness for your AI MAX!

But seeing all of the aircraft crash into one another harmlessly and then flip onto their backs is one of the main sources of comedy in the game!

Iv seen worse necros. At least it's still a good topic that has meaning today.

Although I love placing a turret on an unused exit. It makes a GREAT XP farm if it is in a pain field and gives me something to do when waiting for the flip and repair other things.
