[Features] Inflatable boat upon hitting water (58 signs!)

[AudieMurphy88]

I have not seen this suggested before, but here goes...

It seems nobody likes the long swim to shore on Wicked Wake if they bail out of their plane, or being sniped so easy on that swim. So, as a solution, I offer a new game feature that could be turned on or off in your main bfh home. (Where you select weapons, clothes, etc...)

Description
Inflatable boat / Rowboat / Raft. Doesn't matter what it looks like, but inflatable is more plausable. With this option on, you would be able to hit water and have a little boat spawn up underneath you immediately. This boat would stay there until you hit land, where it would dissappear and you would be back on your feet. The boat would have no health level, but rather if you are shot it is your hero that takes the hit, not the boat. It would be faster than swimming.

Goal / Purpose
The whole idea is to (give an option to) help people get back to land faster on any map with water, so as to not miss out on a large portion of the fight or get sniped so easy. Would greatly come in handy when bailing from planes, and give you at least a fighting chance of making it to land before getting killed. I want it to be like the parachute function, in that you can be shot and take damage but the boat stays there without being damaged, like the parachute also does.

Suggested:
Yes------A couple seconds to inflate / "spawn."
No-------Boat takes damage like a regular vehicle.
Maybe---Make it a widget.
Maybe---Widget that stays with you until you die or it is destroyed. Allow you to use gun/carry up to 4 people.
Yes------Boat is invisible when mandos using it are in stealth.

Actually seems like quite a nice idea, but would the boat be part of your hitbox?

[Jdr262O]

I think you wouldn't be able to shoot tho because then it would be unfair and plus, the sprite should be rowing the oars on the raft. I think the raft might be able to be poped by a gun and there would be a cool-down until you could make another raft. Also, there should be like 2 seconds in the water as the raft inflates and your sprite climbs in. This way it would still leave you vulnerable to snipers. But great suggestion

[Necromokron]

It'd be better if the boat had it's own health, so when you get hit you take the damage and when the boat is hit it takes the damage.

[Cromatox]

There should be boats and they should have health like other vehicles

Myabe I forget to make clear that this should function like a parachute, to put it simple. Doesn't take damage, but you still can.

No, only your character's body should be able to take damage.

I know you shouldn't be able to shoot on it, but can still be shot while riding it. Oars, motor, something along those lines works for me.

I thought about health, and I would like for this ability so function somewhat like a parachute in that it takes you safely where you want to go without being damaged, but your Hero can still take damage.

Yes, but entirely new vehicles would take much more work than this, I think.

[nvzboy]

could make this into a widget... EA might make a proffit out of it then.

Audie Murphy did crazy stuff, but turned out to be the most awarded American soldier in WWII.

[Mattandthat]

/sign, sounds like a laugh, and what else do you play heroes for?

[AudieMurphy88]

Exactly. Haha
