Defensive help needed (War related)

[sinner]

We are still a young alliance and have been doing non-stop wars since we started. We are always looking up at our opponents as far as age wise is concerned. But this war that we are in now, well I think we cannot do a thing about it to even try and win. We have 8 peeps in gunpowder and 2 in classical. Our opponent, well they have 3 industrial peeps all with airstrips. I am sure that they can rain down all kinds of fire from above and I have no idea if we even have any type of defense on our bases that can even shoot at a plane let alone take one down. Is there a coalition that would be useful against air attacks? They do have an enlightenment peep also just to show you the advantage they have.

The company is looking into matchmaking imbalances. There's a sticky about it.

Castle, towers, redoubts, all shoot at planes.
Egyptian coalition could be useful. But do not hope for miracles....

Sorry to tell you this but you cant really win WW with only gunpowder and classical age bases. I don't know how fair the matching has gotten after the patch but I don't think you will get a fair matching until you get high age players of your own. For anti air purposes, towers still remain as the best anti air even with the anti air turret present, but don't expect gunpowder age towers to shoot down any planes unless they aren't upgraded and the opposing player does something really stupid.

Thanks for telling us what takes out air stuff. Most appreciated. Also, we have overcome most of our mismatches with only 3 of them losses we just didn't have enough fire power to overcome. But if it comes to having some of us to rush to get the high output offense then I think we will just have to suck it up and except our losses. None of us want to be part of the what I think is known as sandbagging in this game. So would it be advantages to put towers around the town center or do you want to spread them out?
Thanks

you a not going to win. Period.

Good to hear that you are winning. Basically you want towers around the important dmg output buildings like catapults and cannons so airplanes are at a risk sniping them.

you a not going to win. Period.

Well as I stated above I don't think we have a chance either but we will go down swinging.

Redoubts shoot at planes? I didn't know that.

Just because they have airstrips doesn't mean they're experienced or even high level Industrials. It was the airstrip discount last week so even a brand new IA players could have purchased that, so don't over estimate they're abilities, there's always hope.

Blacknife you couldn't have been more spot on. We beat them! A couple of us were even lucky enough to get some stars off of their industrials. Turns out they ended up having some tough go of it hitting some of our lowers and I think the bottom half were there just in the war to get an easier enemy. Funny thing is we were only offered like 135 glory but if we would of lost they would have taken like 178 off of us. Go figure.
