There were to be more water vehicles than just the inflatable boat.
A hovercraft, a big one was to be introduced, able to carry tanks and other non-aquatic vehicles across water, but because of the very same collison problems with slow-moving cars killing pedestrians was an issue with the hovercraft, it would collide with and blow up with the tanks when it moved.
This same issue existed in battlefield vietnam, the Tango transport boat was able to carry a light vehicle, but the vehicle would clip into the water and blow up when the Tango bounced around in the water.
The up/down controls were for the launch gate on the hovercraft.
