Best End Game Nation - Germans or British?

[SiuYin]

British
1. More Loot
2. Cheaper Army

German
1. Powerful Troop Card


Only if you able to support 4 troop cards in each war, Otherwise British

It’s a hard decision but i was leaning towards Germans before and i think after the comments so far i am still leaning towards Germans. I like the idea of the base just melting like Necksahn explains.

Be careful. A compartmented base or heavy walled base will slow down any army.
Shooters, especially brits, just shoot over walls.

I play Germans in Atomic, I know exactly how strong they are. Meanwhile you admitted yourself in another thread that you're still EA, your data is based on counting other players' preferences. Have you seen a British line of archers? They melt enemy base almost as well, and the 5s rally reduction isn't as much of a bonus as you think. Most of the time I'm saving my rally for a strategic push anyway, I don't use it every 25s.

So I did end up switching to German. I have used them for about 3 weeks now and have been in probably 5 or 6 wars with them. I can definitely notice the difference between them and the French who i switched from. Germans are much stronger and five starring bases comes much easier, especially when using troop cards. I do miss the faster training time and extra alliance gate troop space but overall I am very satisfied with the switch.

Hey guys, just wanted to confirm this. The 15% attack bonus you get after winning a multiplayer fight applies to all units you use in the next fight? Not just the troops from you barracks and factory but also to the following:

1. Troop cards
2. Alliance troops
3. Terra cotta army
4. Generals
5. Mercenary camp
6. Airstrip

Thanks for the help.

Eeeverything!

 

[alegs]

Also if the succeeding battle is a WW shot???

 

[KnattyNate]

Yes, everything gets the 15% boost as far as i know. The only thing that may not be affected is alliance troops but I cannot confirm this. And yes the bonus also applies to war attacks, as long as you get at least one star in the battle prior to your war attack the bonus will remain in effect. The only time you ever lose it is when you get a zero star defeat.

6. Airstrip

Would that mean the 15% boost works on the paratrooper ?

 

[Manifesto]

Is the paratrooper trained at the airstrip?
Then that's your answer.

 

[McGregor]

That sounds logic. On the other hand I guess the statue of liberty doesn't boost paratroopers despite those are trained at the airstrip, I am right (in fact I don't know) ?

That sounds logic. On the other hand I guess the statue of liberty doesn't boost paratroopers despite those are trained at the airstrip, I am right (in fact I don't know) ?

The SoL says ''increases attack damage of air units'', so why wouldn't the paratroopers get this benefit? I don't use them so I don't know either.
TinSoldier , can you find out?

I have another question, easier maybe : today I got my 1st APCs and I am not sure they benefit from the heavy infantry university bonus (Catherine). My library is still industrial age and the boost is labelled Special Forces", like the tech level of my barrack troops in fact. And the APC is said to deploy elite infantry. Any link ?

Anyway, I deployed 3 APC with 50+ shooters and howitzers today and these poor APCs got chunk by landmines and anyway I finally got crowded by tanks like often - even when I deploy 80+ British shooters. How do people do for not being overwhelmed by tanks ? My opponents are global/nuclear.

I did the maths and it matches : +18% attack and +15% health from the starting stats given on the Elite Infantry page of the Wiki. That's roundly what my APC kicks out their doors.

Another guess : if playing Germans with Brandenburg Gate and fury on, is it a 85% bonus for those APC troops then ? (Catherine 30 + German 20 + Fury 15 + Brandeburg 20)

 

[MSS-Gaming]

Troops that spawn from the APC are not factory troops. They are not affected by the Brandenburg gate. Their stats are the same as the barracks troop, including even the barracks expertise of the CWA.

 

[_Flash_]

The SoL says ''increases attack damage of air units'', so why wouldn't the paratroopers get this benefit? I don't use them so I don't know either.
TinSoldier , can you find out?

From what I know, the paratrooper units don't receive the attack boost from the Statue of Liberty. It applies to direct damage by the planes, but, not by the units dropped off the planes.
Anyways, a confirmation from TinSoldier might help

 

[melheor]

Same reason infantry coming out of APC doesn't benefit from Brandenburg Gate bonus.

 

[TinSoldier]

melheor is correct - these units still count as 'ground' units.
