Is it possible to make or add this possibilitie ? like in Red alert 2 having units flying and going underwater ?

edit: im not a mod dev so that's more an idea for them than a feature request

This means yes...

Well, you couldn't use any existing plane stuff, since planes have no real pathfinding, and underwater you need pathing to avoid the ocean floor.

A couple of lua methods:
1. Unit swapping
2. MoveCtrl + PathFinding (harder)

In before snakes on an underwater plane.

Depends on what exactly you want your unit to do. Should it just land underwater? Should it turn into a sub? what?

im planning an aircraft that can 'fly' underwater and in the air, i hope i can get it to work and if i do ill let you know

I think the way it should work is just like the Seaplanes did in OTA, where you build them on a floating or underwater lab in secrecy and hidden from any surface scouting, then be able to emerge from underwater and fly around in the air to do their regular combat work.

In OTA, Seaplanes were built on a surface factory, then could be flown to a water destination where they would land and submerge underwater for complete protection from normal planes, ground units, and water surface units not sonar/depthcharge equipped.

Its a stealth tactic just like building units from the Amphibious Lab in AA, SA, and BA, then have those units appear out of nowhere to attack.

Planes that turn into submarines or submarines that turn into planes, is another thing completely if they can fight in both water and air concurrently :D
