Patrol Boat Re-Work

Played a few matches today, love the new map and naval combat is fun until it isnt. Biggest issue I've seen is the Patrol Boats maneuverability. It is incredibly hard to turn, slow down, and the camera will occasional glitch out mid-fight so then I cant aim properly. I believe this is due to how violent the new water/wave system is. I understand the further out you are the rougher the water gets but from what I've witness, I can be right up against the shore and waves will still push the boat violently where aiming is a pain

Another major issue I've see is how quickly the helicopters on the map can take out the patrol boats. I can understand them being able to do decent damage if hitting the boat directly. However, the little bird especially can take out a patrol boat within 5 seconds and you are practically helpless. Most matches there's one guy in the little bird camping out near the enemy patrol boat spawn waiting and as soon as they spawn in they completely destroy them.

Dont know if others have had the same issues but there definitely needs to be an adjustment on being able to control the patrol boat better in the new water system and a balance on damage from helicopter mini guns. If an rpg does less damage than a helicopter mini gun that's a problem.

    Do the boats (CB90s) have the "boost" function? If not, Maybe they can ad that and that might be a way you should be able to turn around quicker? Knowing CB,s right. They 2 x 900 hp Water jets engines that can be turned 180 (irl) so that might be a fun thing and an accurate thing to ad as a good function. 

    Then we can turn on the spot pretty quick and also back up etc.

    Oh no, I think I didnt get my point across well. Im fine if the boats feel heavy, its more that these waves have been pushing the boats all around. Personally, if im not going super fast I should be able to turn quicker but I dont and there's times where ill turn one way and the boat turns the complete opposite direction. Then of course you got the waves not helping one bit. 

    Maybe once I get used to it more it'll be easier.

  • Naaaah m8. I think the boats need to be heavy, Now there is some skills driving them around. Just imo though.
