7 months after Missile Silo, are you happy with it

[Manifesto]

I moved to Global only a few weeks ago and I’ve only upgraded a few of my troops (tanks and riflemen) only. I don’t use HT and my fighter planes are of Industrial Age level. Missile Silos have taken all the fun away from MP. I can’t train Mercenary armies for every MP attack. Where do I get so much NTG? I don’t spend money just to win MP’s!

During defence of my base, I have only seen it effetive in only 2-3 times. Either it gets demolished by planes or demolition tactics or it doesn’t become effective against HT armies or it doesn’t fire at all (due to attackers not deploying full force) and my TC is taken out.

Hansi, if you’ve only moved up to AA then don’t worry about the silo just yet, your time will come as your troops are upgraded. Don’t forget your planes, they’re crucial! You may even want to think about HTs.
Actually, I think you have two issues: attacking and defending. You’ll get better at taking out silos as you and your troops get better. For example, Atomic age planes can do plenty of damage to a level 1 silo. You may lose 1 or 2 planes, depending on the base, but this is just one option.
The problem with the silo, imo, is people rely on the silo too much for defense. Sure it will deter a weak army but a strong AA or CWA army not so much.
You’re better off having a well designed base for regular attacks and let the silo be a deterrent for the others. The silo on it’s own can be defeated if it’s not in a well designed/defended base.

i have an AA alt and i see plenty of GA and AA bases without the silo or with a poor placement of the silo in silver and gold leagues. and if youre global you can really bully those industrial weaklings with no silo and no SAMs. there is no reason to attack difficult bases in MPs

your defense log should be a lesson. your silo has been effective only 2-3 times because if an attacker thinks your silo will be effective against them, they just tap ‘next’
