Have any of you?

ever been shot across the map a crazy speeds? I was shot off the map lastnight at 800+ kph I ran into the VS warpgate with my reaver (yeh I know I suck at flying, OK!) Instead of crashing I went into it just a lil then got shot out at 500 kph. From there it just got faster and faster until I went off the cont. My squad mates could see me going on the map. I had no control over the reaver either. It was weird, kinda like the old AMS bug that would shoot you across the map.

yeah some wierd situations in this game make flying vechs do wierd things. Buggy Physics engine is to blame

Indeed. Sometimes if you hit the afterburners at just the right time, your aircraft will rocket accross the map rather then plunging to the earth.

I love it when I get flipped upside down from skidding along a tree and then my reaver shoots sideways into a mountain. If they can make the reaver roll over with buggy physics, why can't I do it normally?

I read one time that the game engine will support loops. They just have it limited.

Never happened to me

Hamma, try strafing into a tree about halfway down, while holding the elevator key. Works like a hotdamn, although if you die you can't blame me.

Never happend to me but I wish it did!

Had this happen to me in a wraith. Flipped over and just scooted along the ground at about 130kph, not even going into water helped. Damn thing went up mountains and such. A Vanguard finally ran me over but it was fun while it lasted.

I loop all the time. Mainly becasue I'm a crap pilot and hit trees.

This was pre-BP, but still interesting.

I was bombing for a liberator, when we attempt to land for repairs. As soon as he gets out, the liberator is facking LAUNCHED across the map and into the ocean, where it exploded for no reason.
