#Swimming animation and underwater diving

I don't think that underwater diving is needed for this game. There is no purpose to dive underwater, but swimming animation would be cool to see

What about avoiding getting shot at for a little while

I mean BF4 for example has it

What about avoiding getting shot at for a little while
Add a whole mechanic for only avoiding shots seems like a not smart idea. Oki most likely will not waste his time for this one feature. In game you dont have much situations when you are on water without vehicle.
timber lake
I mean you are practically defenseless
Sure water does block bullets and whatnot for the area it covers, but you are basically screwed if you find yourself in it
I wouldnt mind water mechanics being changed a bit

maybe because you are not supposed to be in it without a vehicle
except for the fast travel to another playable zone through a small river

Maybe i shouldnt be completely defenseless without one if say i want to sneak or just not use the already crappy water vehicles
Or if a heli crashes into the water
Or leaving the vehicle thats about to explode

those situations are uncommon. Anyway, maybe just increase the movement speed of a player on the water, or give the player possibility to take a pistol in water, since players is not completely underwater, the pistols should work fine? Because to make a system that will give player underwater diving is a bit hard than those variants.

Not really? Like sure stuff like with the heli is not super common, but swimming from one place to another on maps that have water to flank people is a pretty common occurence
I dont see how the implementation of it could be more difficult than implementing the ability to use pistols
Besides that, BF4 has both the ability to use a sidearm and dive underwater
We can have both mechanics

Oki probably have a checkbox to disable and enable guns for the player. It's a way easier to modify existed code, than making a new one almost from scratch. But sure, battlebit might have underwater diving, but right now it's not that matter for me personally
you have water vehicles to flank people, most of the times nobody pays attention to them

Cause they arent good
Water vehicles utterly suck
Water physics can also do funky shit and make them even worse
And even then theres a reason you dont sneak around with a humvee on your enemies (nor is it always possible due to terrain and other factors)
Players should have choices that allow them to tackle a situation differently
You cant always make it strictly this one thing otherwise its unfun
mystic pine
I don't think that players will swim through a half of the map to get to the flank without a water vehicle
all vehicles in the game sucks, they need to be overhauled
but I agree that players should have choices
worthy cradle
inb4 "tanks are well balanced" or "APC is OP, what do you mean it sucks?"
mystic pine
what
worthy cradle
you said vehicles suck, and some players have taken exception to that.
mystic pine
I mean vehicles suck because they have strange control
they're not enjoyable in driving at all
except for the helicopters, I like them
timber lake
Shit handling, shit guns on a lot of them, unbalanced af explosive damage towards them...
Exception is the littlebird

Diving mechanic would be cool, since you have much less movement when crossing rivers
Even using pistols when on the surface of the water
Its not like its unbalanced, but more like what can you do other than just continue crossing the water to reach your destination?
Its slower, you cant shoot and you are an easy target
Sometimes you dont have a vehicle nearby, and sometimes it would be a nice to have mechanic
Its not like in BF games you are underwater all times
Its a once upon a time thing too, and its nice to have

that's what I'm talking about. Like, you are not always in the water, and idk how it is actually hard to implement this feature to battlebit. Imagine making underwater diving for month or two, releasing the update and players like "eww, im not even play on the water, shitty update".
For me - yes, it's a good mechanic that might be in battlebit. But should it be right now or in the near updates? I mean, the game has more important problems that needs to be fixed or changed in some way in the near future. (That will take some time)
It depends on what amount of time will underwater diving take to implement, for my honest opinion

Nobody said that it should be right now

true😅

stressed?

So what was all that yap about?
Anyways, whatever
I just hope a dev remembers this feature for another update
Good suggestion
