The Strato Destroyer is a heavily-armored air unit, a combination of Fighter and Bomber. Its only vulnerability is the break in its armor on the rear of the plane, where its fuel tank is located. It is one of the few units that can successfully launch an attack against an enemy Battlestation, the others being the Gunship and Bomber. As the first-tier air unit, the Strato Destroyer is similar to the Battlestation and Dreadnought in terms of power. However, it can't move nearly as well as Fighters.

Dossier Intel

Western Frontier

"Now obsolete due to erratic flight controls, the B-5000 Strato Destroyer was armed with both air-to-air missiles and the ability to deliver a heavy consignment of high-explosive bombs. The only chink in its armor was the lack of significant rear-facing armaments."

Trivia

• The Anglo Isles would have had their own Strato Destroyer, as evidenced from their in-game concept art, but this was dropped before the release of Battalion Wars 2.
• The Strato Destroyer makes only one appearance in Battalion Wars 2 — in the final level, "The Reckoning", to defend Kaiser Vlad's Mining Spider from the Allied Tundran Battlestation.
