Learn about the Missile unit in Advance Wars, a defensive indirect unit costing 12,000G with recon-like vision.
The Missile unit in Advance Wars is a defensive indirect unit. While anti-air units are typically better against aircraft, the Missile unit can force aircraft to keep their distance, especially during intense fighting at chokepoints. Its vision range is 5, and it has improved capabilities in Fog of War (a mechanic that obscures vision) because it can see and fire at anything within its vision range, unlike aircraft which cannot hide in terrain like forests or reefs. Any direct unit can destroy it, so you must protect the Missile unit, similar to how you would protect artillery or rocket units, by keeping other units surrounding it.
- Protect your Missile unit with surrounding units, as direct units can easily destroy it.
- Utilize its enhanced vision in Fog of War to spot enemy units that aircraft cannot.
- Position Missile units at chokepoints to deter enemy aircraft from advancing.
