Ok, this isnt a rant, so try to see the humor in my situation:

Wake Island 2007, Chinese side

So, im the pilot of a transport heli with 3 squadmembers in the gunner position and im flying from the Airport to the South Base. But some annoying jeep is leaking away my armor by pumping .50cal in it. So i decide to make a sharp turn and fly over to the North Base..
Bad idea..
Halfway the lake the heli bursts into flames so we all have to bail and i lose some health while crashing into the water.

I noticed that i was swimming slower than a pickles snail, and all my squad members are zooming past me. Even when i sprint-swim, im not nearly as fast my squadmembers on default speed..

After 5 minutes of agonising excercise (i checked my clock), i reach land at last. 3 steps later an enemy bunnyhops me to heaven -.-


My brother was following my episode from the moment i crashed, he nearly wet himself laughing

I know that, seems to be a bug that your swim-speed gets that low for no clear reason after bailing out.
Happened to me on Iron Gator some time ago and it's annoying...

I hate that man, you finally reach land and get killed.  My boat got destroyed by a J-10 on the way from the carrier to the mainland, I managed to reach the peninsula, just to get blown away by a tank.

I think it's meant to be a slap on the wrist for not parachuting and you've temporarily got broken legs.

Of course I'm probably reading into it too much.

Similar prob here.  The other day I jumped from one of the bridges on the Midnight Sun map to avoid tank fire and landed in the middle of the river.  I swear to god it took me 3 or 4 minutes to swim halfway across the river to shore (it was only about 40 feet).  Really strange and annoying bug.  At least it only happened once......

What's that rule about combat sims? The longer it takes you to get somewhere the higher your chances of getting killed the moment you arrive...
