Description:
Were flying the Cobra on a match of Muttrah; battle was fought in North City so we were hovering in the A2-D2 hills a lot.
However, some time later when RTB'ing to the carrier, our fly path made us cross the map border in (I think) C or D1. Normally this shouldn't be a problem as choppers can easily fly out of the map for some 30 seconds, but this time we hit an invisible wall or object and it made us go boom.

Steps to Reproduce:
Take a chopper on Muttrah (64p) and simply follow the map border (moving from carrier to A1 corner). Fly as low as possible and at some point you will blow up.

For some reason the capturing of the video didn't work properly and it's lagging a bit. But it should be clear enough.

Theres another one at the southern most edge of the map as well to the west of MEC main

A 3rd one to the East behind the huge mountain. Just don't fly out of the map, pretty much.

ye this is a known issue, but not a critical bug but will fix it if I ever get round to fixing up muttrah

Cool.

I agree it's not a priority, but I just wanted to point out as it can screw over the USMC when the Cobra dies this way and should eventually be fixed. Going over the map border is a very common way to 'flank' or avoid AA so chances are it happens (and will happen) more often.

Yeah when i was learning to fly it was like WTF then I just remembered not to crash next time
