Ok, so people are pretty torn on the new vehicle drop feature since the patch. I go back and forth myself, but must admit something are kind of funny about it. This is just musings of things I have seen and some curiosity about things I have been told/read.
#1. I have noticed the cars fall straight down. Where you click is where they go. Nothing else in the game does this. I think that is kind of odd. Supplies and humans float in different directions, but a car drops in a line like a rock. If it hits something during descent, it may rock back and forth.
#2. Cars do collateral damage to things they land on and this one bugs me quite a bit. You can drop a car on something like another vehicle or arty and it will either take damage and or blow up? With reference to another poster who mentioned something about being in a tank and getting killed by a car drop, I have not been killed instantly that way, but have gotten severe damage from it.
#3. Cars being used a one shot kills of people out in the middle of nowhere by landing it on their head. This one is a personal favorite of mine. It eliminates the use of arty on those pesky snipers and hidden commanders. Drop a car on them.
#4. Hit the "E" key guys! If the car is going to hit you, hit "E" and you get in it. You won't die. It still amazes me most have not caught on to this.
#5. Pizza deliveries; If your lucky enough to be on a team that knows how this works you will have some serious fun. Get a bunch of guys to be engineers. Have them throw mines around flags. When bad guys show up at the flag, drop a car on the mines. !! BOOM !!. Bad guys dead and your engineer can get some points. I have given expert explosives badges to guys this way. Most people don't think twice about running up to a flag with mines on the ground since you can no longer detonate them with grenades. Muwhahahahaha ! Bombs away !
#6. Vehicle hit boxes are whacked. No longer can the rails on the side of buildings or carriers be in your way. Feel free to drive your Humvee right over the edge of the ship and or building. They now have molecular displacers installed to prevent those annoying barriers.
