Jetstream Bowrider vs Marine Fast Boat

[CzarOfScripts]

Which is better? Do both have chests?

Jetstream Bowrider all day

Marine Fast Boat turns well but is slower and both have storage

[CzarOfScripts]

Is there a more capacious air tank available?

Currently no! sadly I thought it would have been a T4 recipe. Hopefully soon

The Marine. Cheaper to build, better on gas, more maneuverable. Same storage and hit points. The difference in speed they're talking about is 20kph, holding shift 120kph with marine, 140kph with bowrider. If it was a race then the bowrider but for getting here to there that's not a big difference. The extra fuel you have to carry in the storage of the Bowrider will be.

Now the heli has the storage equal to a military backpack and I've got it up to 215kph and it surely goes faster with a better pilot. I wouldn't want to do a combat landing yet but when I can it will be what I use, and if they change it to have pontoons so I can be sure it's supposed to float it will be all I use. Heli is worth the required practice time and fuel and heli fun.

I think so. When it clips I think it poofs or launches if it can't recover. I had it go "somewhere" when I've "landed" it upside down. I've had it propel high into the sky and into the water landing it upside down (luckily it floats). And I've had it jitter when landing on a hillside but it stopped, I assume it was clipping. Whenever something goes drastically wrong like landing upside down or I see it jitter I get ready with alt-F4 to quit without saving.
Even if the last save will put you mid flight and you both drop into the ocean I've been able to save it the one time I had that happen.
As far as I know there is no way to flip it (because so far it has either launched or poofed) so if you land upside down alt-F4 is likely going to be needed.

As far as the person who loses theirs when they move away from it, I've had nothing like that. I have no guess for what's happening there.

Now I can confirm my heli going poof when it was safely parked at my base when I was away raiding.
This time instead of on top of my base as usual it was parked on 1 of 2 ocean level practice landing pads I had built.

Lost 2 of them, quit making them until its fixed

didn't know of the marine boat, wishing i found that BP instead of the bowrider, thing chews fuel like it's got a leak + same storage as the starter boat, big let down. had to shut the game off and take a break i was so disappointed.
