I use 1-2 for clean up as they pack a punch. But if u drop em with main comp they do too soon as they run out ahead of all troops and usually an anti tank guns gets em. But they r excellent troops for cleaning up and they have saved some 5*
victories for me against high lvl AA bases in WW.
Global bazookas take 4 troop space and deal 1155 dps. Global infantry takes 1 space with 315 dps. By the looks of it, infantry is better for clean-up plus they are more versatile as you can deploy them one by one in different places. Why would bazookas be better?
After reading this thread I started playing around with them last night and I was really pleased with the results, even though I cannot quite put my finger on why. Just based off stats 4 foot solders should be better (especially since my bazookas are not upgraded at all yet) but my army with 3 bazookas was just cutting through bases one after the other.
Does anyone know if they do x7 damage to heavy horsemen too (aka enlightenment age or lower "tanks")? I'm thinking of donating them to my wife's account to see if she likes them but she's not yet running into real tanks.
Taking your viewpoint - why use field howies? They take 9 troop spaces , deal 812 dps , and don't attack defenders. Taking 9 infantry units in their place is from your viewpoint definitely better in dps output and should yeld better results since 9 infantry units from Gunpowder Age can deal more dps than one field howie, and infantry has chance to kill defenders where howitzer doesn't
