Seen something odd attacking on Boreal Vault the other day.

I was at Beta gate and there was 2 Timberwolf's near the gate, on ground level, firing over the wall and scoring direct hits on the gate generator with LRM's - I was like wtf??

I stood beside them looking up (had LRM's as well) but I couldn't quite figure out how they were doing it with nothing to target, then the action kicked off and I forgot about it well until now.

I do remember trying to target the top of the gate and aiming higher but I still hit the top of the gate. Am I missing something or is this some sort of exploit/cheat

I am not sure. I never heard anything of this till now. I do know that you can tend to get pretty good shots with lrms. I takes pretty good skill to be able to hit from that distance but next time try getting a video of it. Would be neat to see this.

There are a few spots at ground level where you can juuuust see the generator

I would bet they got into one of those spots and were making good use of it.

With LRMs and from close proximity to the wall you can take out the gate gen on BV by aiming at the top of the wall. Because of the grouping, some fly straight over but still follow the same arc - and if you get your positioning right they hit the gen.

I dunno who figured it out but I tip my hat, I wouldn't call it an exploit, but its certainly borderline but then again how would you prevent it?? if you move the gen back then simply preposition the LRM boat to compensate!
