	~~The P.W.T. Cannon is available after research is completed on the [[Disruptor Pulse Launcher]] and Disruptor Pulse Torpedo.~~

	The Pulse Wave Torpedo utilises a superheated fuel system and an extremely dense warhead which can punch through most alloys. Due to the size of the warhead, only two torpedoes can be loaded onto a hardpoint.

	~~Much like the~~ [[~~Fusion Ball Launcher~~]] ~~of the [[X-COM~~\|~~First Alien War]]~~, ~~[[TFTD]]'s~~ P.W.T. Cannon has ~~many drawbacks and few advantages.

While it is true that the torpedoes do not miss, it is still difficult to take down large Alien Subs with only 4 shots of this weapon~~.		{{Ref Open \| title = P.W.T. Cannon}}

			The P.W.T Cannon is a torpedo launcher that carries and fires two Pulse Wave Torpedoes. The torpedoes have very high accuracy and deal massive damage that can completely destroy smaller ships, while dealing heavy damage to larger ships. The P.W.T. Cannon has a firing range similar to sonic weapon on the [[Dreadnought]] alien submarine.

	The ~~other major drawback~~ is ~~the outstanding range of the weapon, believe it or not. Even though it has the greatest range of all craft weapons, it~~ is ~~equal to the range of the main weapon~~ on ~~an alien [[Dreadnought]]. Given that the next best craft weapon (~~the [[~~Sonic Oscillator~~]]~~) can outrange all other Alien Subs except Dreadnoughts, has a greater number of shots per use~~ and ~~a much faster reload time, there is no practical advantage to using~~ Pulse ~~Wave Torpedoes as a craft weapon~~.		The P.W.T. Cannon is available after research is completed on the [[Disruptor Pulse Launcher]] and Disruptor Pulse Torpedo.

	~~Quite apart from all of that~~, the ~~manufacture of Pulse Wave Torpedoes for use with~~ the ~~Cannon requires Zrbite,~~ a ~~very rare and valuable resource. Each Pulse Wave Torpedo manufactured requires 4 Zrbite units~~.		This weapon appears in [[TFTD\|Terror From The Deep]]. For the UFO Enemy Unknown equivalent, refer to the [[Fusion Ball Launcher]]. For Enemy Unknown (2012), the [[Fusion Lance (EU2012) \| Fusion Lance]] is a rough equivalent.
