The UEF T2 Torpedo Boat, nicknamed the Cooper, is a UEF unit. It is an Anti Navy unit. The Torpedo Boat is a focused sub hunter so it is less effective against ships, but it can still be dangerous in groups. It has a single high powered Angler Torpedo launcher and the UEF "Smart Charge AntiTorpedo", as well as sonar to detect submerged subs.
It should be noted that the Cooper is a torpedo boat, not a submarine. This means it cannot submerge and is always vulnerable to any and all anti-ground weapons on air units as well as the usually powerful naval surface weapons. On the other hand, it's very small (roughly the same size as, or smaller than, T1 ships) and very fast, which can somewhat enhance it's survivability as it can outrun larger ships and evade their projectiles if it's lucky. However, its inability to submerge is a massive disadvantage compared to its factional rivals, the Barracuda and the Vesper, making the Cooper a poor choice for engaging any unit other than a submarine. The Cooper's main advantage over the others is its reduced cost and construction time, allowing you to deploy more of them. With HP far higher than the Barracuda, DPS greater than the Vesper, and a very effective anti-torpedo system (in fact, one of the best anti-torpedo systems in the game) it does sterling service as a counter for these units in particular. It's only other real drawback in encounters with Submarine Hunters is its slightly lower speed.
