Pod Eject from APC - too low?
Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to BF2142, and still learning.
I understand how to eject from an APC by right-clicking and steer by using the movement keys. However, when I try this I don't seem to get enough height to go anywhere much. For example, on Port Bavaria I have trouble reaching the platforms from an APC below.
Is there something I'm missing? Thanks,
Spiff

no you just need to pull the apc closer to the platforms and keep holding forward. You will make it.

It also helps if you encourage your pod verbally before launch. Usually I say things like, "Don't worry Jonan," thats what I name all my pods, "you'll be just as pretty as the other girls someday." They always work great after that!
Also, yea. You probably need to pull the APC closer.Shhhh I'm being made

Thanks guys.
This opens up all sorts of tactical possibilites. You could camp on a rooftop and heckle the enemy pods, too.

I believe the really cut down the APC podding distances in one of the older patches.

From an APC not near a Titan/not on Port Bravaria, you can't pod all that high/far sadly. Still a good distance, but feels like you should be able to get more distance.

APC pod height is drastically reduced in Conquest mode. This is to prevent players from podding onto buildings. In Titan you can pod across half the damn map.

Re: Pod Eject from APC - too low?
Something else I have noticed is there is a bar on the right side of the apc hud while you are driving it that shows pod ejection height. Only when you are within pod distance of a titan does it go to full podding distance to get you onto a titan. When on a non titan map or not within distance of a titan it only lets you pod a short distance and like others have said I believe it is to keep people from podding onto buildings or clear across maps.
