I seriously miss the naval battles from BF1942 and FH. I loved crusing around in a sub while listening for pings. Then slowly emerging to have my persicope peak slightly above water level. I loved hammering the airfields with the cannons on the battleships. I loved moving the aircraft carrier to remote locations in order to avoid enemy destroyers & battleships. Sooooooooo much fun.

The problem is we'll never see that in BF2 because the engine poorly handles collisions between players and moving vehicles. In BF1942 you could stand on a moving vehicle (the deck of a ship, or the wings of a transport plane) without taking any damage, but in BF2 you will die. So having a moving aircraft carrier or other medium-large sized ship is not possible, because all of the players not in a seat would die once it started moving.

So ultimately PR will have to stick with smaller boats that fit 6-8 people max. I'd still like to see this happen even if we can't get the old naval battles of FH.

You see the titan floating around somewhere, but when you enter it, you're "teleported" to another part of the map, where a "static" and "non-moving" titan is. But you can't tell the difference, to you it just seems like you're inside that floating thing.
