Learn the Flying Bomb tactic in Total Annihilation: load Invaders/Roaches into transport planes for powerful aerial explosions.

Invaders and Roaches are slow units, but loading them into a transport plane turns them into effective flying bombs. If the transport plane is destroyed, the Invader or Roach also explodes. Unless destroyed by a long-range attack, this explosion should deal significant damage to the plane's killer.

You can also command the transport plane to self-destruct when it reaches a target point. While in the air, the flying bomb still inflicts damage on ground units.

The area of effect for this flying bomb is large, and its explosion is powerful, making it a very effective tactic for destroying multiple buildings constructed close together. This strategy is particularly useful for destroying adjacent metal extractors.

Tips
  • Consider using the self-destruct command for precise targeting.
  • This tactic is most effective against clustered buildings and resource extractors.
  • Be aware that long-range attacks can destroy the flying bomb before it reaches its target.
