Changes in Troop Composition and the Greek Nation, Post Rebalance

[WarLord]

My main account is British. In PVP I used to use One Healer, 7 or 8 Howitzers and the rest rifles. Now if I try that forget it, My Howitzers die and my rifles no longer have the dominance they once did. It seems Tanks are now needed to get through a battle. So, on our new Alliance we have a player who uses the Greek nation. He is Global and his Tanks are lethal. Has the Greek Nation moved up the ladder of preferred Nations to use? Also, for you who use the British, what troop composition are you now using to get through a PVP Battle?

CW Brits. 2 healers, 7 artillery, 3 bazooka, and rifles, before and after the changes. The only difference, got rid of my one decoy tactic and added a protect.
Pick your bases. Poorly upgraded bases or an age below you should still be beatable without much more effort.
My alt is Global Greeks. No change to my 5 tanks, 5 artillery, 5 footmen the rest rifles. Never used decoy. Same level bases are more challenging but still beatable, just not as much fun as before.
What age are you?

 

[WarLord]

I am Global.

i use the french stack-of-tanks strategy; after experience with the rebalance i can say i feel buffed.
the reason is because i'm very dependent on my fighters and with a good 20% dps from an artifact they can really tear up now.
if tanks can break the back of a base while i'm picking off towers with planes and so get air superiority, i'll 5*even if all the tanks die.

i am using 12 tanks/3 bazookas/armored car/17 infantry to great effect right now
artifacts +20%dps/50%hp tanks and +20%dps fighters, -40% hp to towers.
perhaps in comparison to others this is a buff to french/greek nations.

edit: switched to 10 tanks/8 bazookas/armored car/9 infantry.
once i upgrade the attack helicopter i'll try that with 6 bazookas.
the extra dps is really working. since we can only attack easy bases for 5*, 10 tanks does the job just fine.

manifesto: i don't notice the oil; with the rebalance i always get more than i lose.
this is a part of the rebalance i really don't like -- i thought part of the dilemna using these troops was that they were 'pricey' in oil.
however even before rebalance i didn't notice their oil cost. since museum gave 'resource rings' i never need to raid for oil, only artifact fragments.

 

[WarLord]

I'm about ready to try the Greek nation. A player in our Alliance, level 197, uses them quite well.

 

[WarLord]

shukra, no Howitzers of any kind?

 

[shukra]

no i don't use any. they demand attention that i'd rather use with my fighter planes.
i've never been skilled at using them in the way i see others doing. no question my configuration is low-skill but it works well.

 

[albynos]

Im greek, nice one especially if you are using tanks.
I'm 207 AA and I go with 8 centaur tanks, 1 sabotator, one heavy tank, 43 rifles and 4 mk5 planes. As far as I understood the attack is all about the number of units. most of defence shoot one unit a time as well as defence units. You just need to wait your tanks to crush missile silo and close mortars...

 

[WarLord]

This will take some getting used to. I was British and used lots of Howiters and Rifles.

My other account AA Brit, you don't use any regular either heavy tanks Manifesto? Think I'm gonna copy yours
Still gonna use 1 or 2 decoys though.

 

[Manifesto]

No Angel , no regular or heavy tanks. They only distract my healers.
I wish you luck. I've played 4 matches in 3 weeks. I'm not motivated anymore.
Collecting so many resources from farming and losing nothing from attacks l don't need to fight.
Still playing my Global Greeks a little more (1 or 2 a day!) but it's more planning than before.
If you find my 'fun' please let me know.
Also, if you find Nexon's common sense, let them know.

 

[Manifesto]

And what does your oil losses cost you?
Is your oil gains worthwhile for such an oil-rich army?

 

[No Angel]

Ya, I feel the game is no fun anymore. Adapting yes, but it's like heavily wounded soldiers leaving to fight unwinnable wars
But it's not the time to quit yet. Somehow my friends are still playing, so I'll be there too
I've been looking for easily trained combo that will give more throughput, I don't fancy expensive army that might vanish in 1 attack.

 

[Manifesto]

No Angel , if people keep playing occasionally like we do and don't bother spending money like they used to then Nexon loses, plus we still lose because l don't think they'll reverse the changes.
I think l might try a HT/Helicopter combo l saw somewhere on the forum.
