I’m sure this has been brought up, and I’m not complaining, but the marked area of an upgraded NE tower seems far bigger than that of NW tower.

You get marked going North almost as soon as you pass NE garri through the middle sentry bypass lane, and you are marked not by the sentry, but by NE tower itself going into the west entrance of NE camp even if you’re up against the cliff wall walking in. I have not checked the north end points of contact fully yet, but last time they seemed to reach almost to the NE sentry as well.

Perhaps I’m wrong, but the radius of this towers marked view seems far wider than any other tower on the map, is it because there’s limited approaching space or is this tower thats considered most important to hold on a map or is it that the radius is broken?

This radius is larger. Fixing.

I don’t know if it’s intended or not, but might want to look at the vertical detection range of watch tower, since I’ve been marked at the bottom of NW tower coming from the camp either side before I even hit the switchback ramp.

Considering you still need to go up the switchback ramp right next to the tower (while NE switchback is a little further from it’s tower), it gives defenders considerable time to respond.

Can’t exactly pull off any secret havoc ops with that around. XD
Only possible way to get around that is to come from the north side of the map.

Another derailing post. ^^

Ty. Was roaming for the first time since Alpine came back and I was cursing every time heading into nec after bypassing its sentry.

This might seem crazy but I almost wish there was some way to los it too.
