The primary weapons of B Subs are Missiles. They can fire on the targets listed below.

Full Firepower damage chart:

Target: Damage dealt (percentage):
Infantry 110%
Mech 110%
Recon 100%
Tank 100%
Medium Tank 90%
Neotank 85%
APC 100%
Artillery 100%
Rockets 100%
Anti-Air 90%
Missiles 95%
Lander 95%
Cruiser 95%
Submarine 95%
B Sub 105%
Battleship 55%

Secondary weapon: None

Once B Subs run out of Missiles, they can no longer fire.

Defenses:

B Submarines are less durable than regular Submarines, but they still take inconsequential damage from most ground units. However, air units and other naval units deal significantly more damage to B Submarines compared to regular Submarines.

Attacker: Damage dealt (percentage):
Tank 1%
Medium Tank 15%
Neotank 20%
Artillery 65%
Rockets 90%
B Copter 40%
Bomber 110%
Cruiser 105%
Sub 70%
B Sub 105%
Battleship 110%

Summary:

Naval combat is lacking in most Advance Wars games until Days of Ruin. I wanted to add another kind of unit that can also submerge like Submarines, but I also needed to distinguish it in some way. There are already few indirect naval units, so I thought there wasn't any harm in adding another. B Subs are difficult to maintain, but their firepower can easily force an enemy naval response and also gives some more ways for naval units to combat land targets.
