ok, so now that we know there's a transport that goes across water, what's its limit? can it go from continent to continent (one hell of a boat ride) or just across bodies of water on the continent?

Cant travel from continent to continent.
I beleive all vehicles can stay in water for a limited amount of time until they stop responding (dead)/start taking damage.

The Deliverer is the only vehicle that can cross rivers and lakes.
And I'm pretty sure if aircraft can't go to continent to continent. Neither can the Deliverer.

Oh, and the VS buggy and tank can cross rivers and lakes too.
ANd here's the Deliverer doing what it does:

i think the devs said like 15-20 secs until the VS tank and buggy go under/die...I also think the sunderer slows down a whole lot at a certain depth, then if it gets to deep is dies:borg:

When entering water, the Deliverer will float at the surface, but is only capable of 30% of its maximum speed when crossing water.

Some1 say bump?

Bumps = weak.
Anyway. Official answer is:
All vehicles work from power generated by the warp gates, any vehicles that strays to far from the warpgates will stop operating.
Ok here's all the info you need about water and vehicles :
VS vehicles can hover over water for a short amount of time. Afterwards they sink.
Deliverer is amphibious, it can cross any body of water.
All others vehicles cannot go into water.
ALL vehicles cannot cross from 1 continent to another.

does that mean the deliverer will hit an invisible wall if its out in the water too far?

Does anyone care what my good ol' son Dio has to say? NO acctualy reads what he says.
To answer the previous question no the thing would probly jsut stop working and you would be stuck out there,

I imagine you'd lose power and sink once you went out to far.

You can NEVER CROSS BETWEEN CONTINENTS. Unless you use a warp gate or drop pod. So no cruise ship ride or flight between contients.

Deliverer, the light(er) APC crosses water.
No vehicles can cross to other continents, it's a warpgate or droppod.

Man, we really need to get like an extension cord for the planes so that they can go continent to contenent.
