Learn about the Advance Wars Lander unit, its 12,000G cost, transport capabilities, and vulnerabilities.
Cost: 12,000G
Description: Landers are sea transport units in Advance Wars, costing significantly more than APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers) and transport copters. Unlike transport copters, Landers cannot refuel other units. However, they possess the unique ability to transport two units simultaneously, and crucially, these can be any two land units, not limited to infantry and mechs. This versatility allows Landers to transport tanks, medium tanks, artillery, and rockets across sea-heavy maps, enabling them to engage in combat upon arrival.
Vulnerabilities: While not particularly vulnerable to direct land units, Landers can be easily destroyed by indirect units such as artillery, rockets, and battleships. They are also susceptible to the most powerful direct units, specifically submarines and bombers.
- Utilize the Lander's ability to transport any land unit to reposition heavy hitters like tanks or artillery across large bodies of water.
- Be aware that indirect fire from enemy artillery, rockets, or battleships poses a significant threat.
- Submarines and bombers are also dangerous direct threats to Landers.
- Consider the Lander's high cost when deciding on its deployment and protection.
