	The PWT Displacer leverages off Manta technology and a miniaturized Pulse Wave Torpedo Launcher to provide a small, airborne weapons system of unsurpassed mobility nearly identical to the Launcher Hovertank of the last war.

	The ~~displacer is superior in both armor~~ and ~~agility~~ to ~~the standard Coelacanth chassis, while mounting~~ a powerful PWT launcher in the turret. In addition to its ability to hover, it can move over 50% faster. The displacer chassis's armor is stronger than the standard SWS, and more uniformly distributed.

In fact, there is only one weak point -- its underside. Even this weak spot is more resilient than the Coelacanth's main armor.

	~~For one, Pulse Wave Torpedoes must be specifically manufactured for use on this system~~, and ~~this is costly in [[Zrbite]] and time~~. ~~Second~~, ~~they are not as powerful as~~ the ~~[[Disruptor~~ Pulse ~~Launcher]] and cannot penetrate UFO outer hulls as easily~~.

	~~However,~~ as ~~one of~~ the ~~only two units which can fly outside of water,~~ the ~~Displacer/PWT sees widespread use, if~~ not ~~quite as widespread~~ as ~~the Displacer/Sonic due to its aquatic-only nature of its weapon~~.		Pulse Wave Torpedoes will only function underwater. The torpedoes are not as powerful and more costly on [[Zrbite]] to manufacture than the torpedoes for the hand held [[Disruptor Pulse Launcher]].
