Last night on Port Bavaria, the Goliath was trying to cap what is labled Warehouses in the screenshot below. (Not sure why the CP are labled weird but that seems to happen on Port Bavaria from time to time.) Anyway, I was in the tower just to the right of where you see the #1 on the mini map taking shots at it when it flipped up and over the catwalk and landed where you see it in the screen shot. No, it wasn't lag as there were only about 15 people on a 32 man server and my FPS was between 25-40 the whole round. Also it wasn't moving at the time, just sitting there to cap the flag. It was stuck where it landed and couldn't move, weird.

This overhead view gives a better idea of what it did. It started out near the red oval at the bottom right, flipped up and over the catwalk and landed where the red oval at the upper left is. Wish battle recorder was running.

maybe someone wanted to make a hack to make the goliath faster and failed :)

but this, i will believe as a glitch. i drive around in the goliath, and every once in a while, for no reason at all, in the middle of the road, driving straight, the whole thing suddenly jerks 60 degrees to the left. there's some bug with lag and the goliath.

but if you wanna talk about heavy machinery flying, i think i hold the record for BF2. sitting in my tank, got hit in the butt with a laser guided missle on Oman at the west dock, launched OVER Olive hill and into the water halfway between Rock and Olive. :) well over 200m! w00t!

^ Goliath is way heavier than a tank.

Well today I just saw an apc fly up then land back down...
Tossed a motion mine bait at it to get my mines to hit it and next thing I know, it flies up and comes back down and lands on the container.

Me too, it's hilarious, but that only happens when there are problems with my connection.

Probably a hack/glitch.

I was in an APC that did the same thing a few weeks back. It went so high up the ground was obscured by fog.
It landed without taking damage, but rolled upside down so i had to bail before it blew.

i don't think it was a hack, do you see any advantages to getting the Goliath stuck?

so now we don't just have to look out for the Goliath's guns, we have to worry about it landing on us as well? great................ all i want to jknow is, if a goliath lands on a rorsch, is the rorsch destroyed, and is the goliath harmed?
