Hello,

I would like to have your opinion on the best configuration for an army based on Heavy Tanks (= at least 50% troop space used for HT). It's mostly for WW (farming ressources on weak bases is Child's play regardless of the configurations exposed here :cool: ).
I'm currently lvl 209 Atomic Age, French nation, so I have 155 troop space. I also did all HT researches and started HT damage with Leonardo at the university. I have Versaille and Brandenburg gate.
Also, as I am French, I have 36 troop space for alliance donation, this makes 4 howitzers (let's leave the supplementary troop space bug aside here :rolleyes: )
Here are the following configurations which I think about :

1) 6 HT + 11 infantry

2) 5 HT + 3 howitzers + 8 infantry

3) 4 HT + 6 howitzers + 5 infantry

4) 4 HT + 5 howitzers + 14 infantry

5) 4 HT + 4 howitzers + 23 infantry

Config. 1 could have the problem of being too slow, even more with bases which have many wall compartments, so very powerfull but with the risk to not have the time of doing 100%
Config. 2 has the same problem I think, 3 howies can die fast sometimes because of traps for example, so for me it should have at least 4 howies or none, but not 1, 2 or 3.
Config 3 is the one I use currently, the problem here I think is the reduced number of infantry for the cleaning which is very useful to finish a base.
Config. 4. could be a good compromise, a quite acceptable number for all 3 kind of troops, what do you think ?
Config. 5, same as config. 4 but with a different balance for howies and infantry

Of course there are also the costs, HT are expensive but I assume here that the cost in ressources and training time don't have to be taken in account in case of WW, only thing that matters is strategy and firepower.

If you want to go with these configurations in the best way you might want to change nations, specifically to German. You will lose French tanks (in this case not important), the faster train time and +6 gate capacity. But you will get more damage for the infantry, 15% damage buff for everything you deploy, shorter cooldown and longer rallies so your tanks can crush the base that faster.

I didn't reach HT's so I can't help you with configurations but I think Germans are the best HT nation.

How is this going for you? I feel like the expense of Heavy Tanks outweigh the oil farming benefit. Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't add howies to heavy tanks, because (as you noted) they die fast. I go with HT & regular tanks. Percentage of each troops may vary. Admittedly, i don't take bases level 200+, but it performs excellently at my level.

Multiplayer too, HT & tanks. or just a very tanky composition when i don't have HTs.
