Learn how to use the Submarine unit in Advance Wars, costing 20,000G, and its unique diving ability for stealth attacks.
Submarines are the medium tanks of the sea in Advance Wars. They are expensive, costing 20,000G, but their essential diving ability allows them to approach battleships covertly before destroying them. This same ability can be used to sneak up on other submarines and landers filled with units, eliminating them quickly.
Diving submarines use a lot of fuel quickly, so be sure to refuel every several turns with an APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) or by having the submarine sit in a port. Submerged submarines don't use as much fuel but are vulnerable to battleship, bomber, and other indirect attacks from artillery and rockets. Be aware that cruisers are the sea units custom-built to sink submarines.
- Use the submarine's diving ability to approach enemy battleships and landers undetected.
- Refuel your submarine every few turns using an APC or by parking it in a port to maintain its operational range.
- Be cautious of cruisers, as they are specifically designed to counter submarines.
- Remember that submerged submarines are vulnerable to indirect attacks from battleships, bombers, artillery, and rockets.
