Build Version: 2026.2.13.1

Description:
Infantry appear like they are able to fastrope onto street lights.

Reproduction Steps:
Load helicopter with any infantry.
Order helicopter to fastrope under or right next to a street light.
Some infantry seem to fastrope onto the streetlight and then are stuck, unable to move.

Expected Result:
The helicopter should check to see if there are any obstacles directly beneath it when beginning a fastrope sequence. If an obstacle/obstruction like a street light is present, the helicopter could move a few feet away and check again to see if it is obstructed. Repeat process until no longer obstructed or until several iterations of "validation check" have cycled and failed.

Actual Result:
Infantry fast rope onto street lights because helicopter does not check to see if path of ropes will cause infantry to improperly deploy.

Note:
This was repeatable with various forms of infantry/troops, and also was able to be replicated with Little Bird on several occasions in addition to an Osprey.

@hardy temple, did this ever get touched/fixed? You did say you were looking for vehicle pathfinding issues for today/tomorrow. 😄
