PT Boat landing.
« on: April 12, 2011, 12:20:10 AM »
A couple of squaddies and myself have tried landing PT boats in many situations...  The most extreme was when one of us drove one (afk for quite a while) 3 sectors out into the middle of nowhere into friendly water...  He got a ditch.  We've tried beaching our boats at a friendly base (no cons in sector), stopping and towering out by a CV that wasn't under attack, etc...  None of us has figured out how to get a "successful landing" message with the PT.  

It's not a big deal, but it'd be good to know if it IS possible.

It was a perfectly legitimate question that obviously you don't have an answer for...  That being the case, you should probably refrain from posting comments that make you look like a troll.

EDIT for manners.

I believe the correct answer is you have to beach yourself.  dont remember if just anywhere or at the port.

That's one of the things we tried.  Tried at a port and airfield.  Still got a ditch.  I've always wondered about this PT thing, and we've been goofing off trying to figure it out.  

Have you EVER seen anyone land PT boat kills?  In all my years here, I haven't.

The only way I remember getting a successful landing, other than being stopped within the boundary of a fleet, was by being stopped next to the pier of a port.

Tried both of those.  It still gave a ditch.


EDIT:  Someone said at one point that you had to be physically touching the CV with your boat...  Tried that too, it was pretty funny.

Yep

EDIT:  We've tried stopped, beached, parked almost on top of the sub at port...  Etc.

I think he was agreeing with you. I know he is a kid from Brazil so his English reply may be misconstrued. :aok

Possibly.  If that's the case then I apologize.

Rolex, I just did the same in Mid and got a landing.  This is truly strange.

EDIT:  I've never seen someone land a Pt in LW.

All in all, it should be like any other GV...  6K from any enemy and it's a landing.
