Speed Boat ??Cheat??

[beaker75]

I saw something odd earlier today. It was on a Wake Island map. There was the one boat, I don't know if it was the same player, that was moving 2 to 3 times faster than any other boat see the attachment (sorry, I only have the still pictures of the boat doing a wheely). It would start at the little island, where the US artillery is, and then zoom to the Chinese artillery. Is this a cheat? or just something really weird?

No it isn't a cheat...

He hit the tip of the crashed WWII plane and he popped the nose up.. giving him a huge speed burst.

I don't know why it works, but it does, and it's no cheat.

Thanks for the info.

In the year or so I've been playing this is the first I've seen it. I may have to give it a try sometime.

I'd lay money down that its not a "trick" but a bug, exploiting it could be seen as cheating.

Before we call the FBI and launch a full scale investigation into this maneuver, lets think about it a bit.

You could say the same thing with just about anything, just add the correct prefix or suffix to it. Lest we forget about going prone? A simple and very benevolent defensive maneuver in and of itself, but in the hands of a "special" gamer it turns in to dolphin diving and insta-proning.

It is a trick in the true sense of the definition of the word, a cunning and possibly deceitful act. It does not cause anymore of an unfair advantage to a player than a well placed claymore or arty strike.

Do people do it all the time? no
Do people have dedicated servers for this trick? No
Do you get massive points for doing it? No
Does it make people leave a server in a mass exodus never to return? No
Is it against the ROE? No

Not yet, anyway. No doubt it'll be put on in the next ROE update.
