Sonar? Torpedo bomber? Doomsday Device?

Greetings!

Is there a Way to build a Sonar in the game? What about Torpedo Bombers/ gunships?

Sorry if these units already exist in the game, but I sincerely can't find them, and I think could add up to the strategy.

Also, I've seen some youtube videos with a "doomsday device" defense structure. How do I build that? Is it in the game, or was it removed? (is it an upgrade of another defense tower? I sincerely could not find it.

Thank you!

DDM is still in game as the 1200(?) metal defense structure.

Sonar has been long removed and now all naval units have sonar by default. As a mechanic it no longer exists.

And no there's no torpedo bombers.

Doomsday Machine is called Desolator now. Many units were renamed a few months before the Steam release, so if you are watching old videos, keep that in mind. Some of the old players still refer to units by their old names out of habit also. I can't find a complete list of renames, but this thread should give a clue.

Also there's no torpedo bomber, but if you're looking for an air unit that can drop bombs on underwater stuff, that's Raven from the plane factory. It can't see underwater though, so you'll need sonar-capable units to spot for you (ships, amphibs, hovercraft, or Owl).

Jokes aside, Thanks for the replies!

I'm still discovering the units in the game (and loving it, the more the merrier!)

I wanted a torpedo bomber to finish off those AI pesky little amphibots constructors, going around immune to my air units. Oh, well,I understand that there is probably a good reason not to have those units, balance wise.

And, maybe I'll join the name resistance!Haha!

USrankcathartes suggestion is also what I use to finish off those units usually. Owl (the scout plane) has the biggest vision radius in the game, combine that with Ravens on area-attack to quickly finish off any resistance, be it on land or underwater.

I might call them the names because I remember them that way,haha. though it is probably more of a combination of old and new

Yes there is - every unit who is able to see subs is equipped with sonar. But you cant build sonar building or mobile sonar with large scanning area. There was sonar building and also sonar plane but it was removed from game. Torpedo gs and planes wans't proposed. There was proposed gunship with deep charge however this idea wasn't realized. But there is no need for torpedo plane because bombers can hit subs if thy are in vision.
