Me and a friend were trying to get our server going and he was goofing around and happened to land on the edge of the Dalian Sucker 2000. I flew over to take a screeny, thought it was pretty sweet me managed to chute onto it from way above.

P.S. If any of you guys like Dalian, come check our our 24/7 Dalian server at 74.52.38.132:16567.

good spot considering that you are safe from almost everything but enemy snipers (if they can ever find you) and cartillery. Choppers can get you if they ever think to get up there but chances are weak.

artillery is too inaccurate to catch you except if you are really unlucky

ps : cartillery will probably be resolved in the next patch so yeah, thats probably the perfect spot !

We do mate. If there is a good sniper in the room, you will not live long if you stay on anything high (rooftops, cranes etc). Sure, you might not die straight away but a good sniper will find you if you are out in the open like that. As mentioned in all the sniper guides, if you are silhouetted against the sky, even if it's only one pixel, a good sniper will get you. Probably not first shot but he will get you if you stay there.

That said, it might be a good spot for a few shots and then move on.

+1 for thinking of others

What I do, is I stay on the ground, best sniping area...a building is the optimum place, but only when, you are really long range away, and the enemies are all bottlenecked into one place...

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I think this spot will work on small servers better.

Cartillery spawns a lot lower than those towers, so you won't have to worry about that either.

Are you kidding? Any decent sniper will routinely scan all the skylines and unless the guy on the cooling tower is a headshot king he's going to wound someone sometime (actually more likely given the range) and that would allow the wounded to get a rough fix on the sniper's bearing. And are you forgetting about commander spots?

The guy up there would probably last as long as it took an enemy sniper to get into a firing position, no longer.

Trust someone who snipes a lot (or a number of someones): only with noob snipers on the opposing team would this be even remotely a good spot.

In case you don't know if he's prone and from his POV he thinks he's just peeking over the edge, from the third-person view he's actually sticking right out... so he can be shot from the ground right below him. I get not a few crane snipers on Sharqi this way.

too much effort for a place you can die from very easily in my opinion

I do that a lot when screwing around before the game starts, IMO a waste of an aircraft unless you have a good helicopter pilot who knows how to drop you off, plus it's easy to get killed there (no cover).
