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 almost as powerful as the large torpedoes used by the [[Torpedo Launcher]]. They have a slightly higher base accuracy and slightly lower TU cost for aimed fire, but a slightly higher TU cost for snap fire.

	While it has heavy firepower, the Coelacanth/Aqua Jet tends not to see much use, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it cannot fire on land, where heavy firepower is most needed in the early game. Secondly, it is superseded by the [[Displacer/Sonic]].		While it has heavy firepower, the Coelacanth/Aqua Jet tends not to see much use, for a couple of reasons.

	* While the Coelacanth/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. If it does happen to reaction fire, count it as a lucky bonus. Note though that the Reaction Fired Aqua Jet is actually a viable weapon on your early Terror Missions. Since the heavy armor allows the tank to quite easily survive Sonic Pistol shots, the Coelacanth/Aqua Jet has a much much better chance of surviving alien fire and returning fire than an Aquanaut armed with a Torpedo Launcher.		* While the Coelacanth/Aqua Jet can spawn during Terror Missions and Base Defense Missions, it cannot fire except with reaction fire.

Arrow Quivershaft: The Displacer/Sonic does not have an explosive weapon on it; the P.W.T. is the correct comparison. And the Aqua Jet outperforms it on cost and availability.

Firstly, it cannot fire on land, where heavy firepower is most needed in the early game. Secondly, it is utterly superseded by the [[Displacer/Sonic]].

	The biggest black mark against the Coelacanth/Aqua Jet is unfortunately its aquatic-only weapon. Because you spend a lot of time fighting on missions that are out of the water, the Coelacanth/Aqua Jet is rendered nothing more than an armoured scout.
