So now that the USA Navy is deploying underwater F/A-18 Super Hornet Battle Combat Ace Knight Super-D/X Series Mega Jets, how should we expect the situation in the Red Sea / Yemen conflict to develop? I understand that this is a situational deployment and usually planes like air, but obviously this is strategic. With the enemy deploying tactics like visiting their girlfriends at civilian apartments where they live, can we expect a water-to-civilian-land combat solution on the horizon?
edit* I am specifically requesting a War Thunder leak thanks
Plane not fly in water, plane fly in air.
Tell that to the Navy lol
I give them an A for effort though.
I feel it necessary to point out that the Navy does water warfare. Maybe they think these are the new boats?
they seem pretty sure @libra00@lemmy.world so let’s please stick to the topic
Why are you replying to someone else and pinging me? I’m just making a silly joke over here.
your reply to my useless reply spooked me so badly i dropped my F/A-18 Super Hornet into the ocean so i hope you’re happy pal
Positively giddy. :)
To the best of my knowledge the navy has never flown a plane underwater. If I’m wrong about that then please do enlighten me, I’d love to read that shit.
Congress dislikes fun things.

The Navy cooked up all sorts of whack-a-doodle ideas that didn’t have a chance in hell of being feasible, much less useful, but that’s definitely the silliest I’ve seen in a while.
They weren’t the only ones back then by a long shot.
Army:
Chrysler TV-8 Nuclear-Powered Tank
Air Force:
The McDonnell XF-85 “Goblin”
Marines:
The Marine Corps’ Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector (UHAC)
There are weirder ones but I think these are definitely up there.
Oh no doubt, everybody had some kooky ideas.
I think you missed my obvious joke.
About this
The original post was also referring to this event
Ohhh, shit, my bad. I hadn’t seen that.
LOL no problem
WRONG
Air is a liquid, water is liquid, so you can fly a plane in the water are you stupid?
You’re right, relative density and the chemical composition necessary to oxidize fuel combustion definitely are irrelevant, thanks for reminding me!
Air behaves like a liquid… air is a gas.
Maybe this was a joke, but I’m unfortunately now required to ask whether you’re stupid.
Air behaves like a fluid. “Fluid” doesn’t necessarily mean “liquid”
And the comment replied to specifically claimed air to be liquid, which it is not at typical temperatures and pressures.
