Not sure if this is the right place for this report...

Pointed the PT to land and launched torps. They all just disapeared when they touched land...

Coasted the PT up to the beach at <1 mph. As soon as it touched the beach "You have been killed"

Is this right?

Beaching it?

Technically no, but if you ask me thats to be expected. I think Pyro and HT may be having some problems with amphibions, which might explain why the LVT got removed from the 1.05 features list.

It won't make the game unplayable, so I doubt this will change any time soon.

I'd say that 'immobilize' would be better term than 'destroyed'

You guys know the draft on PT's? not very deep. If HT could model clear water near beaches so you could see the sand, you could get the idea. You should be able to drive it on land till the props strike the sand.....

Screw that, I want an M-30 or a WC-3 with a flat bed trailer so we can hual the sucker out of the water and shine her up in the hangers.
