As someone who played des moines and had to kiss dozen of them, I felt I was stuck way more than I should have been. Anyone else had similar feeling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,178 battles Report post #2 Posted April 25, 2018 Me? No. In all our clan battles I remember one player getting stuck during a match. The last time I got stuck must have been over six months ago. Yes, there are some invisible spots near islands that block your course, but you can usually reverse out of them.

[CPA] Procrastes Beta Tester 4,083 posts 4,481 battles Report post #3 Posted April 25, 2018 I have been trying to teach myself not to steer away if I come too close to an island, but to runt straight at it. One can always back straight off, but if you glide in through a turn, you can beach your keel and remain stuck for quite some time. The trick is to not confuse this situation with how to handle oneself during traffic rush hours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[THESO] SV_Kompresor Beta Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 5,868 posts Report post #10 Posted April 25, 2018 Not really related since I haven't played any CBs, but do you know what'd be nice? If clans could hire mercenaries for CBs from other clans without them having to leave their own clans. Hell I'd join for some of those battles, since my own clan doesn't have enough active unicums.

[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #11 Posted April 25, 2018 Not just a feeling, you can get bonafide stuck to islands. And I don't mean stuck as in you parked yourself in a way you can't get out, but stuck as in your ship will utterly refuse to move ... just the tip of your bow is touching the island but no matter what you do, the ship won't reverse back out again. Very frustrating when that happens because unless you have a divisionmate with you in the vicinity you can ask to ram and dislodge you, you might end up stuck there for the rest of the match.

You're wrong But you're right, I've managed to get myself stuck a few times on different maps and then it takes minutes to get out. It's usually when I end up parallel to an island.

[NWP] __Helmut_Kohl__ Beta Tester 4,156 posts 18,919 battles Report post #15 Posted April 25, 2018 The reason is the shallow water around the islands, which is realistic. Islands would have to have unnaturally sharp edges to prevent this, which might look silly. For gameplay reasons it would be better though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice, anyway what if some islands are more shallow than others, meaning the land underneath the water close proximity to the island is less deep. I think it would be really cool, however I don't think it would work perfectly in practice and let's face it the game still have some other issues that need attending Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are islands which you can scrape against with your hull without getting stuck, and there are islands to whom you can't even get that close (I mean, visually looks like you could fit another ship between you and that island) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
