A comprehensive guide to all ground, sea, and air units in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, detailing their strengths, weaknesses, and strategic uses.

This section provides an overview of the various units available in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, categorized by type: Ground, Air, and Sea.

9.1 Ground Units

  • Infantry: Primarily used for capturing properties. They are weak in combat except against other infantries and mechs.
  • Mech: Can capture properties like infantries but have a shorter movement range. They are equipped with a rocket launcher effective against tanks, rockets, and artillery.

9.2 Air Units

  • T-Copter: Used for transporting infantry and mechs. Can be loaded onto a cruiser for safer transport.
  • B-Copter: Effective against most units except fighters, particularly strong against tanks, MD Tanks, and infantries.
  • Fighter: Exclusively engages other air units. Standard fighters can destroy copters and bombers in a single day, making them crucial for air-to-air combat.
  • Bomber: Powerful unit capable of attacking both sea and ground targets. Particularly effective against sea units, MD Tanks, Neotanks, Pipeseams, Cannons, and Lasers.

9.3 Sea Units

  • Lander: Transports two ground units between ports or beaches. Essential for maps with islands but cannot attack.
  • Submarine: Most effective against Battleships and can also engage Cruisers.
  • Battleship: Can attack all sea and ground units, functioning similarly to a rocket launcher.
  • Cruiser: Strong against submarines and excellent against air units. Useful on maps with significant sea presence and enemy air forces. Can also carry a T-Copter.
