Siege problem with water "fix"

[Heibi.4251]

I know you made a change in WvW not allowing siege to be placed in water due to some exploits. Thank you. However, on Blue Keep in EBG it gives them an unfair advantage on their water gate. You can't throw rams in front of the gate anymore. Kind of a must to break in that way. I'll show you a picture of what we had to do to knock down the door today. We had to place 2 rams on the foot of the entry area - the only place you can now drop rams. And then we dropped 2 catapults on some dry patches.

I think that the bigger issue with the water "bug/feature" was the Klovan wall. I mean lowlands watergate is attacked like once every month.

The fun part of that watergate, is that invulnerable doesn't affect it, never has.  So, someone pulls invulnerable while you are on the watergate, you just break in anyway.  So many inconsistencies.

I see one ram on the left!

Doesnt the tactic say "indestructible walls"? 

Let me ask you a question!   Gate = Wall?

Indestructible is for gate and walls.  At least in every other structure:  keeps, SMC, towers etc.  this one gate is noted to be an exception I believe.  (And exception means bug (🐞🐛🐜🦟🪲🪳)

We had to put them in virtually the same place. That's why you can only see 1 ram.

The tactic is actually "invoulnerable fortifications".

Also yes the garri watergate is different. It doesnt upgrade either and is much weaker than the other gates.

I get the semantics part, but it works on the watergate at both red and blue keeps, but not green.  It works on all inner gates.  Just seems like an oversight on Anet's part.  We can't even get them to fix the oil trait after telling them about it for 5+ years, so I don't imagine this will ever change either.

Yup, happened to us Sunday. First time we tried for water gate in a long time, mostly from being blue for several weeks. Probably needs to be fixed.
