DoD Issue: Glitch or intended?
Posted: 2010-04-26 21:13
I came across an odd occurence today while flying LB for US on Ramiel.
I was returning to base from a successful CAS request and to avoid a known AA sight (had 2 techie's waiting) I had to fly over the Mosque.
While approaching the Mosque I saw another techie heading my way from the east so while over the Mosque I did a hard 90 degree right turn to move out of their range....
But for some reason the DoD timer kept counting down even though I was past the Mosque.
It took me 3 secs to realize it was still counting and I was able to successfully manage an emergency landing just outside the base by the pond.
I managed to save the LB...but my character still died.
So I'm wondering if this was a glitch with the DoD....or if it's intended to keep LBs from continuosly flying over the Mosque? (seeing as how I entered then exited the DoD twice in less than 5 seconds).
