Surprisingly... I don't really disagree that Eagle is a tank specialist. Anyone who's been on the receiving end of a good Eagle player's Lightning Strike in AWBW should understand that his reach in an offensive push is unmatched.

And yet nobody questions how there's a rocket surrounded by pipes, like nobody questions why there are sometimes Battleships in lakes (except in the rom hack Andy's Adventure)?
The headcanon for me is that the forest used to be a city, which got destroyed by BH during invasion. then when those pipes are built, that city was a mess so pipes were built around it. it appears as forest due game limitation, and the survivors managed to squeeze out a rocket unit hoping to aid their eventual rescuers.
Maybe Rocket chan was already there when Black Hole came. Crew members were taking a break in a forest, and they didn’t realize Black Hole installed those giant air-unit-blocking pipes. Of course Black Hole giant pipe technicians didn’t check the forest because they get paid for installing giant pipes, not for checking/clearing forests, that’s the reason they installed the pipe that way :)
Waaaa i didn't knew about this factory on the bottom right, i always tried to send some units from there. This " mech dance " is probably the best strat i've ever seen =D
This is the one mission where Hawk is genuinely as competent and calculating as the game wants to portray him as. Also there is that one early mission against Andy I guess
But the biggest question is... How did that rocket get stuck inside the forest in the pipes?! Unless there's some path inside the pipe that's only accessed story-wise.
I only managed to beat this map with Eagle. That extra turn from his CO super power is so crucial, if you want to cap the base imo. Edit: Good to see I'm not the only one.
Crackhead theory about why the pipelines are not traversable: they give off strong EM waves that interfere with sensitive equipment that flying vehicles require, dumbfire round are fine, but even the Black Bomb is too sophisticated to be able to traverse it.
this is the only map in the hard campaign where the difficulty is actually winning as opposed to getting a good rank, It feels like it would be a pretty average difficulty mission if the time limit was 10 days, but the large amount of choke points and 9 day limit has led to me losing with a unit or two at 1-3 hp way to many times.
poor Drake. He has to babysit those two. This mission is much more diffucult blind or using the other two COs. With Eagle however. it's much easier. the extra power on the battle copters and lightning strike really help.
I had to reset maybe eight times to complete this mission. I eventually won by destroying the pipe seam with a bomber then delivering infantry to the lab with a transport copter. Then I realized that I managed to destroy every unit except a single Mech on the turn I was about to cap the lab. I'm glad I'm not just stupid and this mission is actually as hard as I thought it was.
huh, somehow beat the game without seeing this mission myself, so this was an extra dope episode. thanks for all the Advance Wars content, I live for that stuff lol.
Man, this mission is so fkn hard! I tried for hours until I got with the solution. I'd say it's the hardest in hard campaign. Sadly I don't remember very well how I managed to win with Jess, it was more than 10 years ago. I really appreciate you are doing the HC again, it brings me a lot of memories playing AW2 back then :)
Yeah I've come to find that eagle and Andy don't really have a rivalry it feels more forced but Jess and Eagle have a legitimate rivalry kind of reminds me of Sasuke and Naruto
I always been bothered by Eagle's super power, and I would like Mang's input. If Eagle is an air specialist, why does his superpower affect ground units? Wouldn't it make sense for it to just affect air units? That's like Jess being a ground specialist gives her air units +1/+2 movements as well. Now I know this would nerf by a lot but would it be more balanced?
It is a sort of global power, his trashy naval units also gets their turn recovered. But his day2day power still only benefits his air units (and both his Powers only increase the offense of his Air units, so, he remains being a specialist in every moment).
Hindsight, Mangs didn't "need" to do this mission at this time. The other 2 starting missions in Green Earth don't require neotanks in the slightest. But since he did this in the first try, it was worth it!
for me this is prob the hardest mission in advanc wars 2 the worst part is you start capture the lab and he drops his power and you need a day more to capture AND you failed
I have found that Jess can be just as good if not better than Eagle on this map. Eagle seems like the logical choice given the time restraints but you have to be very technical and meticulous with him. Jess you can spam her little power and go blow to blow against Hawke. Also, I think there are 3 variations of this map depending on your CO. With Jess you get a land army, Eagle the Battle Copters, and Drake some ships. I could be wrong.
I love how the AI just cheats and fires at units outside of their vision range, like both the last rocket and artillery shot at units that their 1 vision wouldn't have been able to see combined, lol.
@@claudioalejandro9731 now I want Senator Armstrong to be the Next Black Hole CO. Daily: +20% defense CO power: College Ball +50% Defense, CO Super power: NANO MACHINES SON: + 100% Defense
But, following the logic that the pipes are too big for air units to cross, missiles and rockets shouldn't reach other units. It would be an interesting mechanic that you cannot shoot over the pipe.
Hmm nice. What i do in this mission is that i make 1 recon on the bottom, when he comes with the indirect i destroy it with both the mech and recon, both being in the woods will make so he cant see them, he them will continue going foward. Then i make a tank and hide it as well, if any of his units enter into repair mode to flee i pick them out with the tank. Also the tank helps deal with his 2nd rocket.
Eagle is better against the AI than against other players. Against other players, by the time you get to his best feature, his superpower, you have often already lost, or at the very least lost all momentum and are on the back foot. Against the AI, and with the small number of predeployed units you often get, you can reach your superpower before you lose momentum, and can use its incredible power to push right through the enemy army.
Dream AW Game relevant buff Notes: Eagle: He would get back his +10% defense buff and his Carriers and Crusiers would have neutral firepower.

@@gicrueldad9520 if the ai and player swapped the campaign would be very easy. Im gonna assume he meant the commanders swap instead of ai, would make more sense. And in andys adventure you do conquer the 4 countries.
Hawke can since he has +10% firepower, but most other CO's can't, at least not with B-copters. B-copters deal 95% damage to transports, so it's a 50/50 coin flip that decides if they destroy them with the first attack. Eagle's T-copters have 10% more defense, so they never get shot down by B-copters in a single turn.
