Invisable FB and kashan triangle

Soupy_Norman · 07-24-2009, 01:09 PM

Hey all.

I built a firebase on Ejod desert the other day in B6 area (the usual spot one goes up) and within a few minutes an MEC tank came and completely destroyed it, the crates and an MG nest. There was no trace of its existance left, yet it remained a valid spawn point for the whole round. Anyone ever experienced this on same or other map?

Also, myself and TMAN were operating Bhawks on Kashan when we discovered a lag spike area around south bunkers. His helicopter also got stuck in what looked like a tornado vortex (just kept spinning around) which was both hilarious and weird. Anyone else found problems with helos in this area?

Supernatural PR anyone?

The rally staying after the base is destroyed is a known bug per the PR forums.

Did the blackhawk take damage before the spin? I've heard that very, very rarely the tail rotor destroyed effect seems to happen in multiplayer.

Pics or video of the events would be cool.

Yes, the spawnable firebase bug is a known issue and has been for a couple of versions now.

Nope he was flying in and then vortexual madness! Looked really funny.

Heres the only pic i have of the magic firebase. U might have to DL it and zoom in, notice the FB icon is gone from the spawn.

yea the spawn on dead firebase was/is still a bug, though i think it happens much less often now, thanks for the report though, the search continues...

should we post "magic FB" screenshots everytime we see them ?
just wondering if it helps..does it only happen on certain maps?

Also saw it once on Kashan

noticing a common pattern here?

All of them are MEC maps.... :P

never noticed it on Chinese, british, Insurgent. Only MEC....

The permanent FB spawn bug has been known to affect all maps without relation to factions.

**fullkontact** · 07-25-2009, 02:03 PM

fair enough :P

It happened to me 2 different games weeks apart. You fly into the bunkers, and turn left and spin-o-mania. Wierd. Only on Kashan.

Spawning on these is a clear exploit, yet it happens all the time. Just make sure you don't do it yourself, especially annoying to see tagged players doing so.

Ive seen it happen before, Even spamming stop spawning on non exsistant on Chat firebase dont seem to work, It sucks but something you just got to look past!

Every time I see the title of this thread, all I can think of is "Your flightpath takes us directly over the Kashan Triangle. Are you mad?!"

I would seriously like to see a video of this happening. Can you maintain flight just fine while spinning? Do you keep spinning for the rest of your time flying? How fast do you spin? Oh, so many possibilities (just think of your rotor smacking a MEC soldier as your blackhawk spins to the ground)!
