Vehicle Suggestion - Canadian Canoes

[bluesydave 28]

The ultimate stealth transport. I have one in real life so am a bit biased :P Plus more navigable inland rivers. This is only semi serious suggestion, unless you like it. I'd still love the canoe though even if it could only be used on the coast.

I too, like the idea of watercraft and rivers, but there isn't enough rivers to really justify the idea. There "should" be, based on topography, but there isn't really.

 

 

Now, if you take a look at the Svetlo/Novo/Severograd line, both on this map and in-game, you would notice that 1) It is the only place on the map that would have a "sizable" river and 2) there, technically, is already a riverbank there. It just isn't connected to the ocean, nor has flowing water. 

 

Adding a river there, with some form of boat, would make a player-driven economy possible. The industrial facilities in Novo would use moving water as a power source, trading finished goods in return for Severograd foodstuffs and Svetlo fish. Trade would go up and down the river via boats.

 

 

EDIT: I can also see topographical evidence of a second sizable waterway. Look at Kamenka bay, and look at the mountain valleys to the north. A river could be there as well, almost all the way up the map. Another possible water trade-route.

 

EDIT PT 2: There is the possibility of a second, much smaller river (more of a stream) with the outlet located at Solnichny, traveling up past Dolina and up to Polana. It would be smaller because the underwater topography underwater off the coast is not affected, like it would with a larger river carrying more water.

 

In history, most human settlement and industry was located along waterways, both for motive power and to facilitate trade.

Rivers are the problem ATM. Also i would prefer paddle boats :)

While I do agree with this suggestion, I think it wouldn't have much use until we see more reason to tread water.

 

Adding rivers, as suggested earlier would be a good start. I also suggest that BI adds more islands, with military buildings so they are desirable to investigate. If they are somewhat far from land, you would require a boat as well and can't just swim to it without taking half an hour+.

 

P.S. You probably should have made this in the "Suggestions" sub-forum.
