I feel like the best use of a Megatank is, as another fanbase might put it, a DISTRACTION CARNIFEX Leaving a Megatank alone is worrisome, but spending your powerful indirect attackers and bombers attacking it, instead of more worrying units like that unassuming Infantry looking to capture, or Light Tank looking to perforate your own indirect attackers, or Rockets that have pulled up to your own tank line is realistically the worse option, between the fact that the Megatank can only kill one unit per turn, and can soak up all of a player's major damage options before going down. They are also nice, because people seem to reliably underestimate just how much damage they can soak, especially if parked on terrain, meaning even after serving its purpose as a distraction, it might still get a shot off. I think this reinforces that it's at its best under Colin's command, since he's paying less for his distraction than anyone else, though defensive boost COs are also nice for making it take that much more damage, or Andy for making tons of effective cash off of it. The fact that the "reliable" counter to the Megatank is itself an expensive, awkward unit also helps. Alternatively, it's great to park on enemy properties, since you get the massive defense, will probably deny building a unit there for at least one turn, and don't pay to repair it. Getting it there is another problem, but, hey. Granted, this requires your opponent to make a suboptimal play, and not just tarpit it with infantry or air units, or leave it alone as it tries to chase something, so this shouldn't be considered reliable, but that just goes into the big pile of reasons it's kind of a shakey unit.

It is worth noting that even a tank left alone defending almost ensures an area is safe. The time investment and cost investment encourages going to other areas on the map or leaving your team vulnerable to other unit types. Not to mention if you remain stationary enemies will stay the heck away from it... let you use it as cover to flank which is enemies want to stop... have to push into the tank's range.

@Happy John True, but it does make sense within the context of the story. Think about it. The Neotank, Black Boat, Piperunner, and Black Bomb are all highly specialized and experimental units, so it makes sense that the allies wouldn't try and dick around with the design and would just follow the blueprints they stole. Meanwhile, the Megatank, Carrier, and Stealth were developed and shared with the allies mid-war, so it's not reasonable that they'd have time to alter their designs. Meanwhile, Black Hole likely had Lash reverse-engineer those new allied units just by looking at them, so it makes sense the units would look similar if not identical, barring hacks to make it work like swapping gunners with automated turrets. What would be cool is if in Dual Strike only the Neotanks had new army-specific designs, implying that between conflicts the various armies had found time to tinker with the designs trying to upgrade or alter them.

1:48 Oh, man. This actually happened in one of my games in the AWBW Global League. My opponent locked down my airport with a Carrier. Leaving it alone wasn't an option, because they built a Stealth Fighter, and they made sure that it was cloaked as soon as possible. I was going to lose unless I could get rid of it, which meant destroying the Carrier as quickly as possible. The map was almost entirely land-based, so their port was unreachable by my naval units. This left me with only two options to unlock my airport. My opponent was playing as Javier, and we each had a Comm. Tower. So, his Carrier, which was on his seaport, had 60% defense against my indirect units. That left me with one course of action, and I took it. I built a Megatank. Within 3 turns, my Megatank had taken a shot at the Carrier, and it took 1 damage from a full-HP Artillery. My opponent's Carrier proceeded to be an income inhibitor (with a whopping 6,000 funds spent repairing it every turn). I won. I downloaded the replay, and it's on the AWBW Discord server if anyone wants to see it for themselves.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how having what is virtually a small mobile fortress leaves the visual range that pitiful. Other than that, in the video about Neotanks I earnestly believed in them over the Midtanks 10/10 because their parameters, and by proxy their strategic use, are superior in every regard for general purpose use unless you're being extra finicky with how the funds are being spent. But this one definitely sacrifices too much for my tastes in exchange for having the toughest offense and defense. Even the favorable situations are _very_ situational and prone to easy counters. Considering their comparable price to Battleships, I would want to use them with a similar philosophy in mind to how I've used those, at least defensively: Defend key areas prone to be charged in by direct assault and force the _enemy_ to get creative on how to approach you rather than how you approach them. Otherwise, I feel they need too much babying and give the enemy extra time to set up for it. By the time it arrives on the enemy's side of the field, it's likely to be full of things ready to lay a pounding on it. It's movement and ammunition issues are just too restrictive, the latter especially. Having the sacrifice of roughly 12000 to completely disarm a unit worth more than double that by forcing it to shoot at the jeeps as a viable strategy to either take it down or take everything down around it is something you would never see happen against the Neotank's 9 shots, or even the Midtank's 8. They really should have given it at least 5 shots to make it harder to cheese so pitifully; Even the Battleship is effectively a superior-ranged and tougher Rocket unit whose only real weakness is being restricted to water, but it otherwise loses nothing in terms of combat effectiveness and staying power with its default fuel and ammo supply.

That is the catch though, you don't need to make it go all the way... having it push enough to have an enemy make specific counters to it means you can fall back... as you produce units which can handle their now wasted units and if they lose those units... then you move your tank up and scare them. You can play with this as bait... and the time they don't... you can push in with it and destroy them. It is a psychological weapon, like the defending key areas. You use it to manipulate your enemy into making decisions/counters and then pulling out stuff to punish the counters. If you can do this it will put pressure on the enemy if they don't realize this is your plan and by then they are in a sinking ship.

It is a good area denial tool, a stationary one will be left alone by your enemies, which opens up flank routes but if enemies decide to focus fire on it then they are giving up variety leaving them vulnerable to other units. If you use it as a defensive tool it will scare people, especially with the fog. It isn't worth the effort to break down... so if you establish it as a passive wall people will avoid it.

I did not know that people were still making videos about Advance Wars. KZitem recommendations, thank ye kindly for showing me this channel. Back to the video at hand, I think I do get how the megatank is good in specific situations but probably too unwieldy for standard engagements, though I figured that if it needs support units like APCs and recons to do its job properly, would it be expected to already have a few of those around anyway? I've never really played the game competitively, just against the CPU and my brother, so I don't really know the ins and outs of what units should be deployed when and how many, so I'm curious if it'd be expected or not to have some of those types of units on the field by the time you'd be ready to deploy a megatank.

Their versatility makes them valuable when facing a varied army, when they might have to bring something down that you don't have a better counter in place for, particularly naval or indirect units. Like subs, they can also choke points while stealthed, and can choke things besides harbors and bridges. However, their inability to really capitalize or make their money back in any single matchup makes them much worse any other time that one of the two other conditions aren't met. Keeping them supplied isn't THAT hard, but is still a consideration.

Unlike Neotanks, Megatanks don't really have the move range to join-juggle (getting a neotank mildly scraped for ~1hp in a valuable fight so that you have the leisure to join it with another neotank for when you need funds for a different unit, effectively teleporting one of your network of tanks back to your production facilities or potentially turning it into a bomber, fighter, rockets, etc.) easily for quick flexible offense, and they don't share a price with bombers--so you can't convert between air and ground strategies as easily to bait out counters. Main value you get from them is baiting out the production of ranged units in combination with cheaper faster units of your own. I'd suggest experimenting with them using characters like Eagle, Olaf, or Jess. Try to use other units to 'trap' your megatank targets so they can't get away. Very niche purpose unit that requires a lot of psychological manipulation and economic corner-cutting, along with potential terrain/weather manipulation/well timed CO powers, in order to get value.
@BingtheLizard
3 жыл бұрын
Megatanks are an ideal wall in a bottleneck. Only attacked/drained from a single side (so hp loss is over a few turns as well) and since they aren't moving, they're not seeking out their targets so don't face the disadvantage of movement range. Back them up with rockets and missiles as well, so bombers can't hang around untouched and cheese them. It forces the opponent to use tiered ranks of units to protect ranged strikes at them from multiple locations simultaneously and if you have your ranks set up first (defensively) with rockets behind, then enemies moving their ranks into range (direct front line guarding an indirect rank in range) are inherently moving into space to be struck first. Unless you're Max. That puts a hole in the entire strat.

Got into a 1vs1 fog of war match with someone playing Kanbei, and I was playing Grit. For the first few turns it was weird that I was encountering just a few infantry. I thought he was just hiding his build-up for a surprise push, or he was slowly moving cover to cover trying to hide from my artilleries and trying to find them. I was completely caught off guard when one of my recon finally saw his megatank moving towards my HQ. Backed up by a line of infantry, some mechs, and a few recon, he just marched into my HQ, my artilleries unable to do anything. Got steamrolled hard. Megatanks aren't completely not worth it. It depends on who uses them, like Mangs said if Jess, Colin, or Andy was your CO, on the situation at hand, your circumstances, the way the situation is unfolding. and/or how you use it.

A few interesting mechanics that weren't mentioned. Infantry have a hidden multiplier towards building up your power meter.this means that in alot of maps infantry spam is the dominant strategy. This means two things for the mega tank. 1. The tank is alot easier to budget for than you might initially think. 2. The downside is that this means that any power that does damage(Rachel, Drake, Olaf, Hawk, etc) will be spammed alot which renders the tank next to useless when going up against said COs. Of course the COs mentioned in this video will also get their power more often as well. I think with how powerful infantry spam is, whether or not the mega tank is worth it is almost entirely dependent on the match up.

Next: Are stealth fighters worth it? Are black bombs worth it? Nope! Don't think about proposing piperunners for obvious reasons... PS: I don't like the fact that the tank crews of the megatank don't change when built by a different nation, they're just OS crews. Thanks, Jess is my favorite GE CO because tanks are tanks. Showing Andy being an idiot as usual? Never saw him going on a rampage... Yea, he *definitely* didn't conquer the entire (insert name here) world. And just make *moor* AW content, it's basically my favorite game series.

All of the "new" units(the neotank+all the shit from DS) is only in the faction of the country that made it. the neotank, black boat, piperunner and black bomb all look very BH. carriers and stealths look very orange star, the megatank looks very GE(which makes it weird that the crew are OS crewmen) but it is unique, a BH megatank looks different.

Reminds me of something like Ultralisk in Starcraft. It's far from the bread-and-butter of almost any build, but if you get into an awkward spot where you're approaching the unit cap and have enough resources to re-fill that with any unit you want, you'll consider hatching some mass Ultras.

Infantry units will be worth it until the day tank units figure out they can park on a property, _get out of their tanks,_ and capture it in one turn, since infantry units have 5 troops while tank units have 15 troops (5 tanks with a minimum of 3 troops per tank).

I'd say the tank is really good in the right situation. Such as holding the line and breaking stalemates. However, I'd say it is better in Days of Ruin where units don't cost nearly as much. War Tank is basically a discounted Mega Tank. Less firepower but 10k less in cost. Still can do what a mega tank does best and break stalemates.

I was in the same boat from the previous AW video and I decided to try them out. Beat AW1 the other day and really enjoyed it, reminds me a lot of FE11 where it’s easy to just jump in and the campaign mode is more like an arcade style multiple playthroughs to get all the content sort of thing. I will say though that’s is very similar to chess, mroeso than FE as you have to learn what units beat what as no unit can do everything. There’s a long tutorial that helps a lot with this and after some matches you just kind of get a feel for the damage numbers for matchups. Oh and it confused me at first but essentially, all units have 100 hidden health, not the 10 that is displayed and 56% is essentially 56 damage. any number ending in 5 may or may not do extra damage but a 48% is likely to do 5 displayed damage for instance. Currently about 1/3 through AW2’s campaign and aside from the factory maps absolutely kicking my ass it’s just as fun as AW1, if a little harder.

Personally I've found that Javier and Grit benefit from mega tanks as well. On maps with a narrow choke point Grit parking a mega tank in it backed up by Artillery and Rockets make it almost impossible for a ground push and Javier's are extra unkillable thanks to the defence buffs. If there's com towers on a map and Javier gets a mega tank out that thing is probably never dying lol
