Landing in the Ocean? Give me a break.

Today I nailed a guy flying a jug...he put the airplane in the ocean. I expected to get the kill there after. Surprisingly, the scroller didnt report his death. I went to look for him, and he was gone.

HTC please change the texture of the ocean. If the plane would automatically be destroyed when it hits the water, that would be helpful. Im not asking for the water to be animated or anything, all I would like is to see the airplane be destroyed once in water. In real life, the airplane would more than likely sink to the bottom of the sea. There is no reason for water to act like concrete, unless its frozen.

But water actually DOES act like concrete unless you are getting really slow. And at that point, though most planes start to sink immediately, the don't vanish instantly. Planes were and are able able to ditch on water in real life - and so they are here.

Before I deleted my account I was burning perks flying a temp...

Was in a good fight with a jug...hit him up bad and looked to be going down...I start on my way...I look back...he is skidding on the water...tried to turn and kill him...but he got the ditch...

At least have no ditches on water or something!

And why? Just because you failed to shoot him down in time?  ;)
Ditching on water is no more generous than our current ditching on land.

I, also must agree with Lusche and Lyric.:aok

     My grandfather served on the tanker USS Monongahela (AO42).  He tells me that he witnessed many succesful ditches on the water, enemy and friendly alike.  He did mention, though, that the hogs weren't too succesful


Something about it not working unless the prop was already missing or broken::O

     As far as the water being like concrete, next time anyone does a belly flop, let me know how "soft" the water was

The water in this game is concrete no matter what speed you are going. Try landing on water in this game.

why is this not a problem?

If they can code gv's to go from sea to land, why cant they code a plane that sinks or becomes "stuck" once it hit's the water.
That way if someone does make a good water landing, they will just semi sink "think of how the lvt and pt "soak" themselfs into the ground to make them apear to be floating.
 
If they hit going too fast, well..they blow up.

Ermmm...you cant LAND per se on water. You can ditch, gear up, slaps out, speed down to below 120mph, and presto, belly scarpe and ditch. You cant do that with gear down, and once you down on the water, you definitely can't up again. So what the problem? Sounds all good to me..

I think that ought to count as a kill. The plane is lost. The pilot might be. If baling out awards a kill, exiting the plane on water should too.

On the other hand I don't think it's a very high priority 'bug'. ;)

Hmmm...I thought if you ditch with enemy near, he gets a proxy kill.....I know 100% that he gets a kill if he has pinged you with anything.
