Heavy Tank/Fighter Combo

[Tsamu]

You are right. I didn't start using this combo until I had HT7. And now I have HT8. 60K hitpoints. Almost indestructible

I use 6 mk3 tanks and 7 strike fighter planes and that is all you need, it happens every 100 fights that one of my tanks get killed by unfortunate mines...train it and move on...btw you can attack bases way higher with mk7...cudos for bravery lol

I used to go with 6 heavy tanks 8 fighters and a few specialists and throw away, but a couple of incomplete attacks can set me back over 18k in oil to retrain. I now have a new strategy. Less is more.

I avoid all defensive troops (well most) altogether by using 2 transports and 2 fighters both are maxed out and the fighters enjoy 51% boost on damage and 12% on hitpoints. Tried it with boost artifact to paratroopers but did not work as well.

Pros:
transports have pretty large hitpoints and paratroopers don’t spawn defensive buildings plus they have both high hitpoints and high damage. A single paratrooper stand toe to toe with low level heavy tank and win because higher rate of fire. Drop them in groups of three they can destroy just about any building in a second except for one.

Since they don’t spawn defensive troops there are much, much less problems you have to deal with, you just have to make sure that you drop them on the antitanks or send your fighters to take care of them first. In addition even the strongest wall can be taken don just as fast by a couple of them.

Paratroopers also enjoy the benefits of armor and weapon blessing and as long as you don’t drop any barrack troops yo can re-use the same 2 blessings over and over again.


Cons:
they are slow and you have to wait in between drops.

While 8 fighters can feel a bit overkill but 2 is definitely fall well short of what most of us have become accustomed to.

The heavy tanks Hanks and anti-tank can ruin your day if you don’t plan ahead and take them out beforehand. Paratroopers don’t prioritize their targets it’s whatever closest to them.

Damage to town center get 85 percent reduction so it takes a while.

Yes, i agree that fighters and heavy tanks are very useful in attacks but try to sabotage the enemy air defenses so that your fighters will not get rekt before you need them to clear defenders.
