Attack Crafts are inconspicuous but strong vehicles.
They can also easily deal with infantry and armored vehicles, if only they are in range.
The role of Attack Crafts will surely be greater after the upcoming DLC, “Naval Strike”.
So there are four seats in total.
In case of need, you’re able to run away with motorboats.
it’s possible for you to use them by pressing F5.
Passive radar
6500
Ground-to-air missiles which require locking an enemy.
Proximity Scan
11000
Detects enemies around the vehicle and marks them on the minimap.
Thermal optics
13000
Upgrade which allows you to identify the thermal traces for small and medium distance.
Belt feeder
17000
Improved mechanism which speeds up reloading.
It requires spotting an enemy.
ZUNI rockets
22500
Not guided rockets, effective against infantry, light vehicles, armored vehicles and buildings.
Extinguisher
24000
Extinguisher repairs the machine and allows it to begin the regeneration.
you could activate it only when the plane is heavily damaged.
Burts cannon
25500
Fires 8 missiles 25 mm Especially effective against air forces and other light armored vehicles.
IRNV
27000
Black-white vision which show the thermal traces in full range.
TV missile
28500
Missile guided by an operator with a usage of a camera.
Good against armored targets.
It goes to stand-by after eliminating the danger or after a long time without any danger.
Main weapon30 mm cannonis the most effective against other boats, infantry and armored vehicles.
It’s weaker from burst missiles only against air forces.
Countermeasure:Active protectionis the best available countermeasure here.
It can defend you not only against the guided missiles, but also not-guided and 30 mm cannon.
Optics:Sight 3xmakes aiming easier.
There is no sense in using the IRNV or Thermal vision on the open see.
It only makes spotting enemies more difficult.
Upgrades: choose the one proper for the situation on the map.
You should always have some hideout in your head also.
It may be an island or abandoned aircraft carrier.
The way you want to fight the enemy is closely connected with the gun you use.
I’ll show my plan based onTV missile, 30 mm cannonandActive Protection.
Don’t save this missile.
Fire when only you see an enemy boat.
Do it until you succeed and don’t shorten the distance without a need.
The best way is to swim aggressively up after two direct hits.
But if you have a support, don’t run away.
So if the enemy boat is damaged, swim close to it.
Don’t use this tactic as a key to the win, but more like a useful hint.
Your behavior must change depending on the map or situation.
When you get experience, it’ll be easier to achieve more on the battlefield.
Fighting the flying machines
Flying vehicles may be a real torment for the boat crew.
But there are several things that may increase your ability to fight them back.
Hitting a helicopter with a TV missile isn’t simple, but practice makes a master.
Remember also that the more unpredictable you are, the harder it is to hit you.
If helicopter wants to take you down in direct firing, it has already lost.
Stealth jetsare a threat only with laser guided missiles.
But information about missiles and Active Protection are already mentioned above.
Cannons mounted on those vehicles are to weak to be a threat.
But to make a run at do something, he has to fly straight at you.
That’s why firing with TV missile at plane’s nose is simple.
Just aim at the nose and fire the missile.
You won’t destroy it but damage heavily.
And if it’s low over the water, it may fall into it.
Killing infantry is easy.
It’s enough to fire 3-4 times under the soldier’s feet or one at his body to kill.
But spare ammo, fire with short series, so you might kill more people before reloading.
Destroying vehicles in your range, which are on the shore, is also easy.
30 mm cannon pierces the armor easily.
you might also use the TV missile if needed.
So use the minimap and observe it carefully.
Remember also that spawn time of a boat is 90 seconds.
Have you been ever wondering why sometimes one side has more vehicles than the other one?
It depends on the map and current flag situation.
Paracel Storm is one of the most popular maps for boats.
There are two respawn points for vehicles.
On E point you’re able to find a scout helicopter, on A point an Attack Craft.
This one additional vehicle gives you an advantage on the sea, what makes the battle easier.
So, if you play in boat, consider flag A as the most important one and protect it.
Killing infantry and flying vehicles is important, but not that much to waste ammo.
Don’t let to the situation, when you’re out of bullets, because someone may attack you.
It may be even a motorboat with C4.
That’s why you should always have at least 15 bullets left.
Even if because of that you lose a kill.
As you know, there are four seats in the boat.
Your lifetime may be increased thanks to the crew.
Soldiers at the miniguns are very direct help at eliminating enemy vehicles.
But the most helpful one is the soldier at the backs of boat.
He can repair the boat without leaving it.
It’s enough to “aim” with a burner as on the screen below.
It gives you a huge edge on the battlefield.
In case of need, this soldier may also use a rocket launcher.
