Alt limit, or other changes to stop high alt campers.

Dear Papaya team and players,

I have been playing for quite some
years now and my favorite map is Engenre. What has been a trend for some
time now is that some players (I shall not name them) are taking a10's
and fly up to high alt (altitude) 600+ or so, and then vertically fly
down above the enemy's main base. This way they cannot be hit by
oerlikons, chunma, geppard or any other anti air machinery for that
matter. They will then drop a bomb and fly up vertically again,
untouched and never in harms way. Some even stay at high alt and wait
for a vehicle icon on the minimap to disapear and then drop a bomb. I
think this is ruining an otherwise great map. There is no way you can do
anything about these alters.

Therefore I suggest some measures to at least make this tactic more difficult to do. My suggestions are:
-Buff
anti air vehicles and oerlikons so that they can fire straight up. Not
just at an angle when you can't hit planes that are directly above you.
-Bring
in an alt limit. A limit of how high you can fly would drastically
improve this problem. A limit of say 300 alt would do.

I prefer the 1st option as an alt limit would leave a10's verry vulnerable mid map.

This
is my suggestion, I know other players in the BG scene are anoyed by
the alting too but if you feel otherwise don't hesitate to comment here.

    vanDyke, we often play together. Usually against the guys from PrideTroopers. I honestly can't agree more with you. I started playing this game again (I'm from the old gang) just because of the flying gameplay. It is still very awesome. But the problem is indeed people alt too high and only check map for missing icons and then drop the bomb on the base. As enemy team you really have NO option to take out the A10. 

    Honestly, when I'm flying the A10 I would love to have dogfights and stuff. Sometimes I alt but I'm not going to alt on a base only get low. It really destoys the fun play of the most legendary map in WarRock: Engrene.

    Please team, do something with this. Maybe alt limit (400) or a perfect vertical anti air Oerlikon. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey there!

    As @vanDyke has stated, an ALT limit would make A10s very vulnerable and useless, specially if it is set to 400 (fog wouldn't even hide your plane at all and you would have to dodge Stingers all of the time instead of trying to kill). However, a higher ALT limit may be a good idea (maybe 600) to prevent players from simply flying straight up to 1000 when they are fighting against another A10.

    I also like the Oerlikon idea and I believe this could be implemented in the game rather than the ALT limit.

    Thanks for bringing this up. I will comment on it with the rest of the team.

    Regards.

    Dear Cheerful,

    Thank you for listening to players feedback, I hope my suggestion will make into the game somehow.

    Cheers

    you can disable dropping bombs above a certain alt , say 500...

    Hanna164, that would help yeah. However 500 would still be too high, as the fog hides you from about 350.
    So a bomb limit of 250-300 alt would be a good idea.
