it's not a glitch and you can easily be shot down from there.i have gone up there to place cover fire on an objective before and have succeded in my mission and have also been rammed off of it and shot down by a heavy on the ground just as many times.not everything is a glitch just because it kills you.

ofc .. because mag is the glorious wonder that dust should aspire to be... go away. your epeen is showing and no one wants to see it

So many new tears to drink!!!


Shooting from high altitude, beyond line of sight? Wow that's not fair who would do that?

Try looking up AC-130 "Puff the Magic Dragon".

Geeze people, just counter. Think beyond a flat 2D map.

As far as rendering or draw distance, there is nothing wrong with it. In the real world bombs drop from bombers that people on the ground don't see. It sucks if you are on the ground but it happens, it's reality.

DUST needs fighter jets or some type of planetary ship sooner rather than off in some expansion pack a year from now.

Yes but snipers in real life have no problem seeing their intended targets due to "render" issues. We're not talking orbital strike here: which is the EVE equivalent of the bombing runs you're talking about (other EVE ships should be there to do something about that, otherwise too bad just like IRL bombers).

We need better renders, yes. It would also be hilarious if we could snipe these 1 man drop-ship abusers out of their turrets. The side of a drop-ship is wide open, make it happen CCP!

The only problem with it is people are doing it for free. Remove the militia dropships and tanks.

Also, render distance needs to be boosted so you can actually see them up there from the ground and to be able to snipe them.

It's not cheap at all. You only think it's cheap because you died by it. Adapt or die.

Its not an exploit

Everyone can fly up ther

Its ther choice to do so

Hell when i see the enemy do it i fly up ther push ther dropship off the ledge then camp up ther myself until i get bored of the view

Its a valid tactic

The problem is the draw distance and it needs to be increased because you cant see the dropships at that height just the missiles coming out of them

Wow your using real life in comparison to a scifi shooter? Known of those wars had swarm launchers, forge guns.

RL and videos game dont mix just because it was done in RL doesn't make it good, balanced, or fun in a "video game"

Sorry, but it's a glitch. Anyone saying otherwise is clueless.
The roof is obviously not made to be stood upon because you stand on invisible floors. It's not like you can just fly straight up and land on it from any direction, you have to shimmy up the rear pipes and, ummm... "Glitch" your way up there.

100% Right. We've got auto-rotating helicopter blades to prevent total failures -- i'm surprised that a dropship, sometimes worth more than all of its occupants, automatically crashes when the pilot bails.

It would also give the pilot the opportunity to slide back into a gunner position while the ship hovers so that they can help lay down support fire & a bad ass hacking opportunity. Drop from a dropship onto a stationary drop ship, hack it from the top, then drop in to pilot it or use the weapons. Set it up low to the ground between different points for some platformer style jumping to get to hard to reach locations to launch an assault from.

let me guess,you think camping all game is a valid tactic too

All the people saying it's not a glitch, have you actually tried to get up there? It totally is a glitch, it doesn't appear to be intended to get up there. It's not as simple as just flying up there, you gotta get next to the building and rock back and forth (or in a circular motion) to slowly gain height. It takes several minutes to actually get up there. That makes it impossible to kill someone up there, unless they are dumb and not paying attention. Since you have to rock for a few min to get up there, anyone up there has more than enough time to shoot you down before you can get them.

If it's not a gltich to get up there, then dropships need to be able to climb to that height much easier.
