The Lancet is a level 2 bomber aircraft that drops torpedoes rather than normal bombs, and so can only be used against ships and underwater units. The torpedoes will be dropped from quite a distance before landing into the water and gliding towards the target; as such, the Lancet can only operate well in deep and open water bodies where there's enough room. It can also attack underwater units that are detected by sonar without being able to see them. Its CORE counterpart is the Titan.

Torpedo Bomber “LANCET” The Lancet torpedo bomber carries heavy torpedoes for attacking surface ships or submarines. To attack a sub, another friendly unit must spot the sub on sonar. Its major weakness is its poor defense. |
