I agree with faster boats. Recently I took a boat on Al Basrah and before I made it to the damn bridges at VCP the Birts had half of our caches !

The purpose of the boats is to facilitate certain actions.

Realistically insurgents wouldn't have such well equipped boats as the RHIBs they have now. Count your blessings.

Why add boats that will go slower than helicopters, have less reachable area than helicopters, and will be able to carry only as many people as the choppers? Who wants to ferry people between the carrier and the beach in a slow boat all game?

From what I see here (small calculation involved :) ) 66.6% of all posters on this thread agreed boats should be faster :mrgreen:

Boats and river patrols have a big part in warfare. Absolutly no one wants to or knows how to use them... Often leaving them free for me to play with and a full squad :D

Helicopters are big, loud and easy to see, vehicles need to go over land that can contain hostiles.

With a boat you can get somewhere quickly on your own private lil waterway and you can sneak in from a point where you arent expected.

Love the boats :D

Have you ever played Department Store Battles mod? The boats are really fast but because of this they begin to sink or flip because of the instability.

I totally agree with you all it's almost like the boats run on a motor from an electric toothbrush.

Boats in bf2/PR should be faster..

And I like the idea of patrol boats..

Devs should pay more attention to the boats, they can play a much bigger role in a invasion than they do now!

an then need to be, the rib on bf2 is ****, goes about 20 knots with whats seems like about 300hp on the back
actually its easy you just kinda rub the boat up against land so the front comes up a lil more and bam your doing like 80 knots untill it starts to flip then just hold s for a second and boom its as if you were wheeliing on an atv and hit the back brakes the thing just slams dowm

you wanna talk about relism just watch me dodge lat
