Learn about the Lancet, an anti-naval plane in Total Annihilation. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, and how to use its powerful torpedoes.

The Lancet is an anti-naval plane in Total Annihilation. It is slow and not particularly well-defended as a unit, but it can hit enemy submarines and ships with its powerful torpedoes. Because the torpedoes are dropped before their target, it is difficult to use these bombers against land targets. To attack submarines, another unit must spot them first (or they must appear on sonar).

Some players love the Lancet, while others do not. Some prefer to have a few on a map with water for variation. Attacking ships from the air is an excellent method, as very few ships have air defenses, and those that do do not have submarine defenses. Sending a squad of Lancets can destroy ships after a few passes.

Tips
  • The Lancet's torpedoes are dropped before the target, making them difficult to use against land targets.
  • Another unit must spot submarines, or they must appear on sonar, before the Lancet can attack them.
  • Lancets are effective against ships because few ships have air defenses.
  • Consider using a squad of Lancets for maximum effectiveness against enemy ships.
