"That's really realistic", I lol'ed. But anyways, there's not much that can be done, unless the devs want a "object detection" system similar when placing FOB's. Your best shot at avoiding this would be to shoot any civis with a cell phone close to your AAV.

As soon as you see someone trying to kill you with emplacement contact an admin. It's a kickable/bannable offense. I'd call it "abusing the game engine limitations", IMO it's the same thing when someone glitches into a wall or a building and is firing from there. Therefore should be dealt with harsh punishment. So it's not a bug.

This is a known issue and can not be resolved.
The way it works is that when you deploy something, it 'spawns' in the air and falls down. If it falls down into a proper place it will appear.

This however means that you're able to not only squash infantry, but that you can also destroy vehicles by it whether accidentally or not. It has happened before that a (friendly) chopper was killed by getting rammed/hit by an asset falling down.

Abusing this engine limitation to kill should be considered glitching, and will be considered as a major offence on most servers. Contact the admins and they will probably act accordingly.
