"This submersible is armed with Aqua-Jet torpedoes. This weapon system only functions underwater. Ensure stores are well stocked with Aqua-Jet Torpedoes."

This is one of the first two SWSs available to new X-COM Commanders.

This SWS launches explosive torpedoes toward the enemy that explode on contact with a solid object - be it an enemy unit or a wall. These torpedoes are not as powerful as the large torpedoes used by the Torpedo Launcher but still pack a considerable punch.

The Coelacanth/Aqua Jet can remain useful to the very end of the game even if its destructive power is surpassed by the Displacer/PWT. Aqua Jet Missles are readily available and cost little compared to the P.W. Torpedoes required by the Displacer/PWT.

Notes

  • While the Coelacant/Aqua Jet can spawn during Terror Missions and Base Defense Missions, it cannot fire except with reaction fire. Given the horrendous reaction stats of the tank, it is best used as a doorstop, scout, or shield for more valuable units in such circumstances.
