I have video footage of the bug where shield in front of vehicle spawn pads being misaligned is an actual gameplay problem, where is the best place to report it? I don’t expect it to be fixed since it has been in the game since DX11, and I am 100% sure you devs and 90% of people that play this game know about it. But still.
We're aware of this one, and it's on our list of things to fix. Like you said, it was brought on with the DX11 update. The reason the gates are offset is an issue with bad code that we want to be able to address correctly.
We could definitely go to every base in the game and bandaid their current positions by shifting the NPCs down, but they're in their correct positions in all of our tools, which means we'd have to unbandaid everything again later. Given the relatively low impact on gameplay, it's a better time investment for us to wait on code resources to free up and take a look.
