not sure if this has been reported yet but basically on oman, you're all cool from the carrier up until you touch ground. where your apc seems like you've hit instant lag and cant move. (feels like the admin on the server's paused the server kinda stutter, but no it's just the apc that's got stuck)

gunner can still move and shoot the turret, the machine gun position, not sure as i was too busy throwing away as much ammo at enemies as i could before i got AT'd

we were in a squad, 3 APCs going to the same place, thinking we'd do some damage, but no. all 3 apc's were rendered useless as it was immobile as soon as it touched the floor :(

I think it's because the beach is too steep in some areas.

i dont think so lol we found a really shallow and low incline spot to land.

and if it's too steep, reverse should do the trick right? but no.

as i've said it seems like your were stuck as if the admin paused the game. but apart from the fact it was only affecting the apc's movement. or the driver.

it cant have been me on a client side if 3 different people did it at the same time... maybe that particular server? has anyone else had this problem? i havent tried it on different servers but it MAY be just that one.

Actually, that probably wasn't me. None of the APCs around the area I was defending made it to shore (the two western flags). In fact the only guys I didn't manage to kill were toward the end, when you guys got a squad inserted to the far west point via boat. Unfortunately I had just used my AT on a BH, and it was still reloading. I saw, I pointed, I clicked. CLICK.

Actually, come to think of it one APC did make it onto shore IIRC. He didn't last long though. Maybe that was a one-time glitch?

can anybody confirm it was just an one off glitch? i mean the whole squad + others got stuck there... i mean i'm asking for second/third or whatever opinion here as it cant be just my computer/experience with a particular server. can someone try landing an apc at GoO?
