Abilities:

Fly: Allows the amphibious jet to surface up and fly to attack both ground and air targets

Dive: Allows the amphibious jet to dive and use lighting attacks against other sea units

Assessment:
Pros: Cons:
 * Lightning attacks are super effective against shielded units such as the heavy interceptor, plasma tank, and AA Missile Tank
 * Can be produced by a Combat Engineer, unlike other aircrafts, making it more flexible to produce an Amphibious Jet
 * Fast speed allows it to catch up to its targets
 * Can fly and dive, making it extremely flexible in attacking any type of unit
 * Good micro makes it hard to counter against
 * Poor DPS, its attacks are also weaker against structures
 * Needs careful micro to redeem its potential
 * Very expensive to produce
 * Easily countered by the AA Beam Gunship and interceptor
 * On a map without water, it cannot dive and can only be an aerial unit

Strategies and counters:
Strategy:

Its powerful lightning attack allows it to counter shielded units similar to the mammoth tank and tesla mech. Due to its enhanced flexibility as an aerial unit and its ability to dive under water, under proper management and control, it can be unstoppable especially in groups.

Counters:

As an aerial unit with lightning attacks, its is advised to use AA Beam Gunships, T1 interceptors and anti air mechs to effectively counter it. Do note that it successfully counters the T2 Heavy Interceptors and is hard countered by the AA Missile Tank.
