I can't tell you how many times I was busy spawncamping blueberries, only to suddenly die to a gigglecock militia forge gunner when there wasn't a heavy in sight. these are deaths that just should not happen. the fact you can kill a lot of suits in just two splash damage hits only a few seconds apart from 100+m out isn't right either, there needs to be some form of adjustment on these weapons to prevent an AV weapon from taking out infantry.
You were spawn camping and you complain about a heavy camping you from atop a tower? Pot, kettle?
If anything you should complain about the flight ceiling that prevents a dropship from flying over the tower to take them out.
It was supposedly instituted to prevent tower camping, but instead it enabled secure camping if you are willing to sacrifice a DS to get up there. I lost a DS yesterday when trying to clear a tower because my gunner was about twenty feet too low to hit them and they FG'd me. |

In this case it's:
1) Buy dropship
2) crash droship on the slope of the tower top
3) avoid being killed by the four red dots on the roof
4) kill all of them and take out their DU before they come back
5) Profit
There are no ladders and you have to push the flight ceiling to make it onto the slope so you land hard. |

Isn't a FG a modified mining tool rather than a rail gun?
I keep reading people claim that it's a rail, but I can't see someone firing a rail into the ground what with all the shrapnel it would cause. |

Not on the tall towers. Dropships aren't capable of flying high enough to stomp them. If they were I would just have my gunners shoot the fat men. CCP doesn't want the DS to be able to do anything that useful though. |

What you do is fly up at top speed and time it so that you make the "beach" of the tower as you briefly push through the flight ceiling.
If you are moving full speed you will get about 20ft higher than you can normally fly, and that is just enough to throw yourself up on the slope. It only lasts a fraction of a second so you have to time it pretty close. The sloping beach of the tower descends about 20ft too, so once on the top proper you are untouchable. If the enemy attempts to follow you up, they are at a disadvantage as they are vulnerable for a time. If you were smart enough to place a DU you won't likely get dislodged. |
