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?
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.
You’re right, relative density and the chemical composition necessary to oxidize fuel combustion definitely are irrelevant, thanks for reminding me!
