2 observations here:

1)  SFAIK, the top-of-cliff spawns are consequence of where the map designer (usually a volunteer player), put the spawn points, as there is a random positioning factor involved.  Actually, the height is usually a big tactical advantage, and so can be considered a feature.  In any case, it's not a bug, per se.  If you don't want to be up there, it is possible to drive straight down a steep cliff, if you keep the vehicle going straight down, so it doesn't roll.  Practice with a non-perk vehicle first.  Consider the "driving down a steep cliff" to be a low-rent way of representing mountain roads. 

2)  Even if it was a bug, which it isn't, the tone of your post is not one which is likely to increase the priority of your request.

Yes I was ranting.. one think to loose hard won perks to an opponent.. another to design flaw.. Without these maps there is no game. You would think the people who make their living off this game would realize it.

It is not just a matter of driving down the cliff face.. you can get away with it with certain tanks.. t-34 for example.. other tanks tumble.. in some cases right across the valley floor and up the other side! In other cases you get stuck in the cliff inside-out.. can't do anything but tower out (ditch) and try again.  What's the advantage to being in a position you can't advance from?

You can see everything, and shoot down at it (thin top armor), if you learn how to position your vehicle at the edge of the cliff.  Usually, you have to shoot at an angle up or down the valley, but some people manage to balance right on the edge.  Probably not a good idea with a perk vehicle.
