All shots going into and out of the MCC passenger bay are supposed to be blocked... or so we thought.
Me and Ookami, we were driving around in Spire, complete shutout, so we decided to go to the MCC dropzone to get the snipers. Afterward, we hung around abit, were about to drive off, and the strangest thing happened. Ookami was firing at a fellow in the MCC, just staring at us, sounded like he was attempting a snipe, and the missile hit the shield. And the sniper took damage. We stayed there the rest of the round laughing our heads off. Don't think badly of us, as we are reporting this now, but it appears the splash damage of missile goes through the MCC passenger bay shielding. If you were to use one of the large radius splash ones, or a kitten tank, people would die as they spawned. I think this isn't working as planned.
That said, it was hilarious, like skeet shooting with people :D
Buzzwords was in the game to, so he may be able to corroborate my story. |

Yeah, this is possible. I've done it a few times, and with tanks, which makes it much more fun. I think it is only splash damage that can get past the barrier, though. So at least it blocks snipers and other things from shooting in and out, but the thing needs to block splash damage. |

I'd also like to apologize to those who suffered the wrath/amusement of me and Ookami, but we needed to... thoroughly test it. Yes.
As for the splash, it does seem to only be that, so they could just raise the position of the bay in relation to the shield and that would be a good light fix. |

I think I was able to do this with a blaster installation recently. I must admit, it made me giggle. |

i thought we were just killing them as they dropped O.o? like vertical redlining.
i was there. we cleared out the snipers and hung out under the MCC for a bit, though i wasn't in the jeep so i didn't realize you guys were successfully shooting through the barrier.
i don't know how to feel about this... on the one hand, **** those guys who just spawn up there to snipe from the mountains. the very reason i ran up there was because... **** those mountain sniper guys...
but i guess i see where this would be bad. |

We were, for awhile. It's fun as hell to shoot them as they dive. Then we discovered the splash thing... Still kept shooting them as they jumped, but we had a way to soften them up and/or kill the hesitant ones :P
And yea, on a tangent, mountain snipers suck. The scope is way to weak to justify that kind of range. |

just get a LAV with a fragmented missile launcher and keep shoting inside of it. Best way to get rid of snipers there. |

It's possible to shoot a sniper rifle into the bay, and my favorite the Forge Gun. The shield does nothing to stop rounds from entering. Conversely people in the MCC can fire out, had a guy shoot swarms from inside and blow up our LAV, right before I implanted a forge gun round into his chest. |

i didn't know that was supposed to be outta bounds.
i remember one of the maps where A is right under the MCC
and we had all the objectives so i was posted and roasted at A because really there was nowhere else to go to do anything...
when ya look up in the drop bay there are like 10 people all standing around down but not jumping.
some nerd was trying to plink but was outta range.
i actually made contact shooting at one of em, no real damage but yeah, definitely contact.
a few more perk upgrades and then it should be possible to put damage on the folks in the bay.
Peace
