PPOs block spawning at FB; nice exploit

[Solono]

Recently Axis have been using a cute trick to pre-camp FBs: Setting up PPOs on the future tent sites to prevent spawning.

I'm going to assume this is not intended.

[imded]

Hmmmm, not nice.

[MOTORMOUTH]

Not intended, no. I'll get Gophur in here.

Edit: When a FB appears, it's supposed to destroy any PPO that is occupying that spot. This is the Hurtgenwald-Aachen FB, yes?

Correct, there have also been other incidents at other FBs of this occurring.

Which Fbs? I serously doubt anyone has done this on purpose. If they have shame on them. But go ahead what other Fbs?

I wasn't online when it happened any other time or I'd have reported this sooner but others have said this isn't the first time.

It's CLEARLY deliberate by the placement and the tactics used (Place GEs in front of Vehicle spawn and in inf tents during pre-camp. People come to spawn in and can't do anything and it's sapped back)

Who pitches a tent inside log cabin?

So you are saying you personally haven't seen it more than once but insist it is being done as an exploit without any proof just to make the other side look bad?

Big giant picture there, you even quoted it. What other possible reason could a GE be placed in that spot, in that way during a pre-camp be other than an exploit of the FB not destroying PPOs like it's supposed to? There was no ATG, no nothing inside of it.

You mean you're not supposed to put up a gun emplacement in the middle of nowhere - convienently exactly where the spawns are?

It's been ticketed as a bug, the thread is quickly approaching ToS territory.

Locked.

[GOPHUR]

TY Hick.

Yes this is a bug in 1.33.?. The functionality is that you can't place a PPO in the footprint of a missing FB. We'll get it sorted out as soon as we can.
