Wake Island Speedboat!

[Metal_Storm]

Well while browsing another forum I came upon this:

http://www.users.on.net/~firest4rter/speedboat.mpg

It shows a boat from the carrier or island on wake running over the rear tail section of the semi submerged plane that is in the water close to their island.
The front of the boat jumps out of the air and the boat accelerates 2x faster than what it should while the game engine tries to work out what the hell is happening.

I think that its an exploit that should be fixed in a patch.

i don't thinks thats one of those problems that really matters, maybe just a kool trick, but what are they gonna do?

Who knows!
I rekon its great aswell but some people may think that it is unfair, it gives the US a chance to actually reach wake island, most of the time I can sit in an FAV and mow them down in their boats and heli before they get to the shore

Thats a cool trick!

..or perhaps they are just using those stunt mods or whatever along those lines?

Re: Wake Island Speedboat!

ive tried it, i almost got it, i can hold it up for a while, i just need to work on the pattern of which i press forward to maintain the position, any tips?

so far i go tap tap tap tap hold... exc.

Re: Wake Island Speedboat!

this doesn't give you any advantage, your acceleration is better, but it takes time to get the boat like this , and the actualy speed of the boat is the same, and you are an easy target standing up with the boat .

so why fix ? it's just a fun thing, nothing exploit about it

Ow and you need an object offcourse, in this case he uses the plane wreck, but you can also use the carier, just push against it, nose goes up, and turn

Re: Wake Island Speedboat!

I can get the front of the boat up, it's finding the balance that's the problem...

Re: Wake Island Speedboat!

i wonder if it could be made to work on dalian too as that can be a cow if the us loose the flags...

I hope they dont remove it.. imho snot an exploit its correct physics..

Re: Wake Island Speedboat!

yeh its hard to balance it. i can do it but not the whole way like in this movie, only about 20 metres. he must be using throttle on a joystick or something i'd say

IM guessing you havent read a single line of physics. How does increasing drag = increased speed?

Re: Wake Island Speedboat!

Nice trick, thanks

If you have an experienced Z-10 gunner/pilot combination it's just faster target though
