Boats - As effective as the Titanic.

Unsure what the development team were thinking when they designed these sluggish dynamite boxes. 

Why does a machine gun from a helicopter blow it up in seconds? All that weight and armour, and it's gone before you can react. 

While I get the reasoning for the heavy movement of patrol boats, a line has to be drawn somewhere, and making them so slow and difficult to move is borderline embarrassing to the previous titles. 

Battlefield 1 did a fantastic job of Naval combat. This game feels like it was a rushed afterthought. An average map (with a lacklustre design compared again to previous titles), and boats that feel like tanks with wheels, thrown into water. 

Some serious reworks needs to be done prior to the carrier event, as so far I barely see anyone using them for more than 5 mins, unless camping at the edges of the map to troll other players.

  • The vehicles in BF6 just kind of suck.  The patrol boat is just another addition to that.  Why did they trade out the perfectly fun boat from BF4 only to replace it with this floating deathtrap.

    Side note: we don't know how effective the Titanic was in ramming that iceberg. For all we know, the iceberg might have taken a beating...

    The Titanic killed a lot of people, so does the mortar boat.

    How many? Where are the stats? Oh yeah, it's another Ruxem "trust me bro" argument. 🤡

    Yet the Titanic wasn't a two man mortar patrol boat. Considering that the Q&A today by the Devs confirmed that boats are underperforming on handling and even general use, I'd say that the titanic at this point would be more entertaining, and a better use of our time, than undercooked and untested vehicles.

    I was merely being tongue-in-cheek in response to the joke on your title. I have no horse in this race, I havent used the boats much to this point.
