pixel of death over north Brussels

[ratzilla]

Is there any plan to track and remove these eventually? They can be fun to land on as a para, but I suspect the air boys consider them to be a rather negative "feature". This one is over the north end of the Brussels Railway station, about 1000 feet up +/-

No, he was not lagged out. He was alive and in game. I've had it happen to me a few times. If you hit one of those pixels with a plane you go boom. We had him drop some nades and smokes and here's what it looked like from the ground. He was far enough up they went off in mid-air.

If you move forward you then fall to your death.

Here's a vid of me landing on one in 2013.

I asked him to take a screenie. Let me see if he got one. I'll make sure we collect that on future occurrences.

yeah, they're still near the ground, too. I think my panny hit one the other day as I just exploded for no reason - no hits, near misses or damage taken from any ei or ai.
