Kill the waves. PLEASE! They are way over modelled. It's not like PT's were "too accurate" or "too deadly" to begin with.
Look at this footage and you'll see they were much more stable than the see-saw effect we have now.

Didn't it have a menu setting to disable when the patch came out?  :)

yes but it was an arena setting meaning a single player could not do it

but think about it!!!
Why would anyone go through the effort to to make our lonely PT boat rock and roll with the waves? 

First of all our pt boat is terrible!
Last tour:
                 Kills   Deaths       K/D
PT Boat   1567     4794    0.33

So... "Lets take the only boat in the game, and spend a bunch of time and effort making it float more realistically which will make this less than often used boat even less effective."
...Said no one ever.

     If tanks and boats are essentially grounded aircraft in terms of how AH codes them,  (Which I have heard many times, but I cant say is conclusive)
and we all can conclude that our water acts like blue concrete, which would look silly as anything if we did have a flying boat. We can only assume four things.
1. We're getting more boats.
2. We're getting airplanes than can float.
3. Cragganmore is on sale.
4. someone will bring up subs so here you are.

Subs? Did someone say Subs?  Subs would be good.
