  • Speedier boat

    Found a neat little feature of the ingame physics a little while back.

    Have you noticed that when you land the boat onshore that the speed increases before it can go no further and stops?

    On a couple of maps now i've taken the RIB and tried 'skimming' the first foot or two of the shoreline driving parallel and the RIB's speed increases by about 50% or more!

    On Sharqi this gets you around to the passage up to the back of the TV station and on Highway tampa around the waterways in the RIB much faster

    On one hand the extra speed helps you avoid rockets easier but on the other hand you are closer to shore defenses such as anti-tank soldiers

    Be careful not to drive the boat more than a couple of feet onto the shore though or the boat will stop.

    Anyone else use this to transport troops more quickly?

    Try it and let us know if it works for you

    Take the boat over the tail part of the submerged Zero WW2 Fighter plane in-front of Arty Island, on Wake. Wait for hilarity as the J-10 tries to hit you at your 'new' speed.

          yeah ive heard of these but havent tried them. boats = bad news since even if u see the J10 coming at u, u wont be able to bail out / swim far enuff to escape getting killed by the boat explosion

              only in a game made by EA/Dice would boats travel faster on land then in water.

                    you don't need to do the high speed boat on the submerged plane, you can rub it against carrier to lift up and cruise super fast, pretty much anywhere you can get some lift. you can also take a boat UNDER the carrier, but you cannot shoot or really do anything but swim around so i wouldn't exactly call zomg cheat.

                    cruising vertical on wake.


                    chillaxing under the carrier.

                        you have to force a boat into a certain spot. where the carrier angles in towards the front, where you see that support beam, push a boat against it and you can get it right under neath, bail out towards the center then you can swim all over the place

                          yeah its @ the front of the carrier. just drive pretty fast towards the front, and when u hit ull start going down.

                            the opposite side of where the boats are in the carrier just drive full speed at it. You can take the boat down there as well.
