Can you launch missiles from the water?

443 Miniplanes  7.6 years ago

I am on iOS and I have tested this to find out that if a missile even slightly touches the water, it essentially becomes a dumb bomb since launching it will cause flames to come out of the exhaust like normal but exactly zero thrust is produced. Why is this?

    I would probably crash it very quickly, anyway I already uploaded mine with a different missile system and the lowest download to upvote ratio I have ever had - something like 60ish:0 @Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing

    I'm on iOS to @Miniplanes , I made a submersible submarine, you can take the idea/for that if you want...

    Yeah that's much harder, I would have trouble making it submerged since I'm on iOS so I would have to rely on the sensor ball only@Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing

    The problem is that I am making a sib that I want to be able to submerge AND fire missiles @Miniplanes

    I basically got around it by making the missiles on the submarine I built stay above water level and since it can't dive it shouldn't touch the water@Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing

    Motors (in both props and jets) can handle some water, as long as there is enough air

    Also surely water would do no good to the motor @AstleyIndustries

    I still don't understand where all these exposed electronics are in the game though@AstleyIndustries

    Engines are different, they don't have exposed electronics

    Then how do you use engines that are partially submerged surely the water would destroy them as well

    The Rocket Motors inside the missiles have become wet... which pretty much killed the electronics inside.. also the rocket fuel's ded.
