It's a lame tactic that anyone with skill avoids. It's not illegal, and there is nothing (practical) that can be done to stop it.

What stops most people from doing it is shame (of being a douchebag).

If it happened by accident, well, not much anyone can do about it; it happens to everyone from time to time.

If someone intentionally abuses it then no one will play with them.

You couldn't be more wrong , sadly.

4/5/6 months ago (dont remember exactly), there was a sort of mini challenge between players, and I was absolutely stunned at the amount (not thousands but too many already) of "recognized"/decent/good players (even one moderator) who embraced and almost pushed people to use that cheat, 'cause apparently, even though it's a game, any kind of bs can and should be used to win.
So don't think that only applies to noobs :). It might have been epic trolling, but the huge debate that happened at that time on GPGnet let me think otherwise.

I think it happened to anyone to have some transport or bombers to go offmap for a few secs at least. Personally I adjust the path of the units when I realize they may go offmap unintentionally, taking the risk of getting shot.



Just like Uber said, only real solution is to avoid them.

Is it like the "inability" to transport extra units : all your planes going off map will explode?
