Reverse speed for amphibious vehicles is greater than forward speed in water.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The amphibious vehicles in Arma 3 seem to travel faster when moving in reverse if you're in the water.
This seems a bit unlogical considering the propellers are in the rear.

So you can travel 10km/h when going forward and 12km/h when going in reverse. Is this intentional or a mistake?

Starting to think this is intentional and not a flaw, can a moderator confirm?

Still unclear to me if this is a bug or intentional.

This has been tweaked recently. Could you please check it in dev branch? Thanks

I checked out the new speeds in dev branch, seems more logical.
This can be closed. :)

Thanks! Marking as fixed.

Waste of time this tbh. Reverse gears have higher gear ratios therefor could easily result in faster final drive ratios.
