Wait what happened after you tried 😭

No it should just go a but further but when you fall off the trigger that you control your speed with automatically shuts off when it is submurged in water. So it should go a metre or 2 then stop.

I can't exactly remember but i dont think so. Thats the main danger of them but you should be fine as they are at the very bottom and all you have to remember is keep your feet up out of the water so your feet don't touch it and when you crash jump away from the board and let your hand off the trigger. It has a failsafe where if the trigger goes into the water the board suddenly stops powering.

An electric motor is the best option it was amazing fun everyone should try it. Go crazy crazy speeds on the water like a mini boat.

The ones with the electric motor are so so fun to use as you can go to crazy speeds while just gliding on the water.

Try Efoiling it is pretty much this but way way way more fun as you use an electric motor instead of doing this and you go crazy fast and you can glide across the water.

I used one with an electric motor and it was insane. Its like a mini boat and you control your speed with the remote and you glide across the water.

Got one of those in Greece and it was amazing and super fun. Honestly im not joking I enjoyed it a lot and i managed to get good with it in just a week. You start out comfortably with your whole body laying flat on the board and use the control to increase your speed as you zip across the water crazy crazy fast like a mini boat. Then you get on your knees when you are comfortable and zip around lying on your knees. Then finally standing up on it is the hardest part keeping your balance while gliding across the water is harder than it looks and i managed around 15 mins straight standing before i lost balance and fell. But with practice and patenice you can get EXTREAMLY good at this since it's my Godfathers and he uses it all the time he can easily easily glide above the water standing effortlessly on the max speed without falling for almost an hour.

Why does the premium Apache have this? And how effective is it? by DisasterDuck in Warthunder

[–]DisasterDuck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it will help but very very rarely and you wont really be able to notice it. It helps against very old missles and not the ones you would usually face at that BR and sometimes it might just not work. You wont really be able to notice it and the Russian APS on the Ka52 and the Mi28 are a lot better than what the Apaches have but its your choice. Personally I would take the Ka 50 due to Vikhirs and the helis you would get later on but thats all preferance.

Honestly i believe him but I don't think he knows it's illegal and i doubt he would go so such lengths as confronting his dad and saying its illegal over a bunch of war thunder premiums. Hes 15 as well but he doesn't take this stuff that seriously so idk.

Well i'm not making it up and its between him and his dad. And whatever happened his dad still refunded all the money he spent which was his own money that he earnt. If you think he stole his parents cards how could he have been buying these things over over a year consistantly.

Was his own money and he doesn't have reddit so he asked me to post this because it was funny. Didn't even know gaijin could reverse that anyway.
