I bet the folks at HTC are laughing and shaking their heads at the comical techniques for landing kills in a PT boat.

to land a PT Boat you have to be with in 500 of the ORIGINAL CV or park in the Pier of which the ORIGINAL CV came from. cant be any port.

What if you spawned from an airfield using a Pt boat spawn and went to another base?

Not true.  You can take a PT from anywhere and land successfully at any friendly CV.  I've done it countless times.  In fact one day I took a 5 hour PT cruise across one of the big maps finally successfully landing at a CV.  I even got to land three kills that day on planes that ran across me on my journey.

Tonight I got a ditch with 5 kills in a PT.  Base no longer flashing, a couple hundred yards offshore, complete stop with engine off...DITCH.  :(

Oh well.

I get successful landings regularly in 3 circumstances:

Stop next to a cv (or where it was if it's been sunk) and tower,

Pull up dead stop in the "fingers" of the wharf at a port,

Launch my craft up and onto a runway or piece of concrete at a field that is very close to water.


It would be a more than useful addition if they had extended the "land anywhere" concept(s) to boats when it was added to gvs.  Not too late to do it now!

I think the biggest trick of it is coming to a complete stop.  I'm pretty sure it follows the same rules as a GV meaning a complete stop and a certain amount of yardage from any enemy gets you a landing (or a complete stop on pavement).

The problem is that in the water, it's hard to tell if you're completely stopped or not, as even the tiniest amount of movement will get you a ditch or capture instead.

There definitely should be some allowance in movement... maybe 2MPH or something..
