Airplanes have Shadow Precision Bomber, and with so many new units who can stay underwater, I think that now it's time to Gunship also have a unit that can attack targets underwater.

Can be a new unit or we can use an existing one, like Blastwing could work like a sea "mine" and so like land have Ticks, Roach, Skuttle, Wolverine mines, with a Blastwing that become a torpedo "mine" in sea if it is stoped/cloaked, attacking "similar" to a Puppy.

Discuss.

I do not believe that they sink, sinking in time would be very difficult regardless.

The Amph AA is optimized vs bombers. Gnats and blastwings waste its shots badly. This should make it fairly trivial to catch an amphibious player on the shore as he exits the water, using the gunships defensively.

However, the shotgun on the scallop is fairly accurate and does a lot of damage vs gunships, and if the Bouy does hit gunships, they are slowed enough that they can no longer dodge.

Possibly an option for hitting amphs might be needed- blastwing is currently under-utilized, so that might be a good call. Im not sure this is the best mechanic though.

How would a torpedo gunship shape up?

How about a new gunship unit with low rate of fire, fast bullet(maybe laser), and could only attack a single target? They would kill the floating amphs easily.

how about a mine-laying gunship? mines like claw, may turn in sea into seamines which float under ground or drift to ground?

And how about gunships cant attack underwater units just as underwater units cant attack hovers.

Yeah, I think it's fine that Gunships cannot attack underwater units.

Precision Bombers have difficulty hitting underwater targets anyway, in my experience, so planes don't have much of an advantage.

Like all bombers targets, they should be used with a bit of scouting first. Radar/Sonar plane with allow precision bombers to hit subs and amphibs with >99% accuracy.

krows bombs can kill underwater units

Not really. Krow bombs explode on surface and do extremely small amounts of damage to unit underneath.

Source: watching many people use Krow bombs on underwater units.

submarine has more range than a Krow-nanoframe.

Gunships are bad at all.
Bad vs. AA-ships, the fast Flails and Amphibious units.

Improve this fac!
Buff Blastwing.damage by 5 or 10%
Let it dive into water.

They are not bad. They are fast and you can help anywhere on the map when it is needed. And if someone forgot AA and you didint showed that you have them few brawlers can wipe army of course depends what kind of units there is and lets not forget krow while expensive yes but it forces enemy into spamming AA.
