    I have an a B grade O level and an A grade A level in it thanks :p

    since when has the drag in air been more than drag in water ? you numptie .....

    seen unlimited hydroplane racing ? im guessing not.... the simple premis there is that the less of the boat is in the water the less drag is acting on it and the faster it goes..

    speaking of physics.. i used it to determin the only thing keeping your ears together is suction...:p

      That's what I'm thinking, I've tried different 'taps' on the keys, but usually end up flipping it or dropping flat after a short time.

        im thinking a joystick style throttle to find the sweet spot as the secondary key for fwd/back ....

          ya, i want to try it, hope they don't remove it...what if you could go off a jump like that (that is if there were any jumps in the water *hint hint EA*

            or better yet just make all the ground and sea vehicles faster, they are way to slow.

              I'm guessing you've never piloted a boat. A boat reaching plane reduces drag by lifting a large amount of the surface area of the hull out of the water, reducing drag significantly. This results in a large increase in speed.

                    Yeah...I did this on a map once and promptly after doing the message screen read "Hack"..."Cheater"..."Kick sbsaxophone07 for cheating"..."I'm going to get u banned"...etc

                    Kinda funny considering I didn't even think it would work. Heard of it from a friend and figured I'd try it. I got a good ways before I leveled back out.
