I've noticed that vehicle roof camping is suddenly a thing in any map with buildings. Not sure what changed, but this is getting annoying AF.

Did you not play at launch when we had the cap point on top of orbital and kaleidoscope where it was just having a tank shooting into the elevators?

Ergh that was seriously frustrating. Combating them by driving hovercraft up the building was kind of fun though.

Haha seeing the Hovercrafts drive up the sides was quite the spectacle, but I was glad when they stopped it. 😁

The whole roof camping in vehicles definitely needs addressing asap.

@RayD_O1 It was funny to do and see, but I was glad when they fixed it too as it was a bit silly.

The easiest solution would just be to change the air-drop so vehicles can't be called in on a roof (or specific ones).

  Sound like a simple solution, lets just hope they implement it or something similar. 👍

  @ElliotLHyeah if infantry cannot get up there via normal routes, then it an be a no drop roof.

  If 1 vehicle was only as good as a single infantry there would be no point in a vehicle.
