reported Persian Gulf invisible walls.

[Golan Trevize]

There are several small lakes and water reservoirs across the map, that have an invisible wall of ~15ft, sticking out of the water near the shore. This is really deadly for helos flying low, to avoid SAMs.
Got some screens of a few of them, not the easiest to find and grab as the walls seem to be only centimeters thick.

Edit: The mouse cursor is not visible on the screenshots, my bad. However from the coordinates you can see, that I barely moved it. I also moved it inwards to the lake, so the altitude should be even lower.
Some of the pics are in reverse order, wall first then the lake.

Thanks. Let me know, if I can be any help.

The bug is still present. Every inland water area (lake, river, reservoir), that has the same altitude shown on the map as the land surrounding it, has this invisible wall around it. For example a lake sitting on a plain at 215ft showing the same 215ft for the altitude, when looking at the water surface, instead of going to a lower number like 180ft, if the lake is 35ft deep.
The walls are 15-20ft tall, so they are a serious threat to low flying helos.

With the improved track recording, I was able to record the issue properly. The Huey just blows up as it touches the wall. The M1 will shoot trough some times, other times hits the wall, so it might not be fully solid. Also the convergence on the machinegun gets really freaked out at point blank range. The tank could drive through it with no issues.

I'm sure your track with the crashing helicopter will help.
