Looks alright, Have you tried copying out the water ripples from Tanya/SEAL for use on the dog ones?

The drown animation could be further improved by slowly fading and shrinking whats seen when their bodies are in the water part.

Ah no! I draw all the water frame by my hand. If you download our shp and compare it with SEAL/Tanya you will see so much different.

You right, I may improve that soon.

Looks rather fine by me. Impressive work with the water ripples.

Though I'm not sure how well this would look with the dogs "jumping" on water...

I doubt if it works. I once tried changing Tanya’s Secondary Sapper to a parasite weapon so that she would appear at the center of the victim when blowing it up but then when she attacks a ship she just never respawns. It seems like if infantry unit parasites something on water it never respawns and just disappears.

But at last they work fine for limbo launch vs infantry.

Most mods just change the Dog Weapon to be an invisible attack discarding the parasite logic afaik. Parasite does work on naval stuff though since we have stuff like giant squids.

The Giant Squid's primary weapon uses limbo launch to grab enemy ships.

Yep, There's even an unused projectile for the squid in the mixes still in TS Animation Palette. LimboLaunch afaik is a instant kill for infantry types. On Vehicles it will damage enemies until the unit gets repaired or it dies.

You can use this, I edited this out of the Navy SEAL Shp for copying onto other stuff I wanted to make amphibious back in the day.

@unknown_men Thank you very much, for your effort and the fast work.

One question. With both options for
NavalTargeting=4 or 5
the dog when kills in water automatically get drown together with its enemy (and dies of course). Is it there a solution for this?

Ditch Parasite/LimboLauncher on the dog.

That’s what I encountered in the past. Parasite infantry perishes when attacks navals

@Atomic_Noodles, I've read whole thread but I don't understand, what even means "Ditch". However if Limbo is NO or inactive then when the dog attacks, dies on the ground too, if parasite as warhead is inactive then the dog when attacks only simply disappear.

Remove Limbolaunch from the Dog Weapons.

Add CloseRange=yes to the Dog's Entries.

Replace/Edit Warhead to not have Parasite=yes

B-but limbo launch is what makes dog fun Sad

Seriously, RA3 uses just a short range bite and that is EXTREMELY underwhelming in comparison, both graphically and mechanically.

(sorry for the necro, but nobody gave this super necessary opinion #Tongue )

Since, NimoStar already bumped this 2 months ago, I'll add an onion here too:

The issues discussed here (parasite getting killed at sea, vs  limbolaunch being awesome) can be overcome by separating the swimming doggies from normal doggies, making them convert into each other on transiting water/land (Ares), and changing the weapons on the swimmer doggie to either remove them, or to just be a regular bite.
