Wheres the boats?

[Kali]

Water without ships... why why!? they fill the land with wheels, the air with wings, but the water lays for a graveyard of crashed pilots? Where is the hightech speed boats.. come on now... water is used in war...

[Sando138]

yes, water is used in war as a tactical deterrent. and someone mentioned an anphibious ability on a vehcile somewhere, but im not sure its real.

The devs have said that this may be in an expansion.

Boats dont help you cap a base

Nuff said

[OneManArmy]

mmmmm... expansion pack.... wait a minute... I don't even have th first part of the game yet!!!!

[Kali]

well ya they dont aid in caping a base no but they hold the land outside the base, could have a viechle manufacturing platform on it, could have a respawn and lil boats to go ashore, that water mass could be located next to that base and having that water under your control would aid in the attack. would make it harder for them to take out your respawn giving you the advantage. would also make good for just a forward spawn even if it wasnt being used in an assault OK!

I'd rather use warpgates than travel across water. Naval battles would be cool but what use would they be? There are no water bases. I don't think a navy would be cool (yet). I think BF1942 is so unrealistic in this manner (I.E. one whole freakin person can run a destroyer, right)

[OneManArmy]

thats all very nice but would said "boats" have a margarita maker on board? that, my friends is the question of the day...
I'm not attacking anybody 'till I get tanked without even realizing it.

[Kali]

what im saying is that ship would operate as a water base. does a naval ship not have a crew? It would be more secure then a land base because it would be off the land making viechles *land ones* almost unable to use against it. So if you had some pilots patroling it would make for a good safe point.

Incompetent and I plan on some naval and Amphibious warfare with Deliverers...

[Camping Carl]

I've always wondered about oilrig-ish naval bases. They could function as air and naval centers.

[Kali]

exactly.. water is a tool. PS should not disgard it.

[MilitantB0B]

Water vehicles would be awsome! You could add little oil platform type things out in the water, or mabe large battleships that you would have to protect from getting capped. You know, like a large aircraft carrier used as an air base, or a troop transport (kinda Normandy style or something) to transport large amounts of troops and vehicles. That way their would be a benifet to using naval combat =) Just a little wish list that will never come true =)

[Deadlock]

originally the ps programers said that water was just space that they were leaving blank to add extra stuff onto later in the game. then everyone started bitchin about no boats (along with bombers) then the ps staff said they would take that bitchin into consideration. however, one of the story lines created for ps explains why there are no boats... remember, everythings powered by the warp gates, thats why u can fly across the water to another island, u run outa juice.

The Sunderer (Could be wrong, whichever is the humvee-like lighter APC) is amphibious.
