mortar troops too overpowered

using mortar troops nowadays is becoming a trend, however i believe it is a silly trend, as there is no way in hell that you can defend your base against anyone attacking you with mortar troops as he can wipe up your entire base in no time, no matter what you do...
they shoot from a very long range, kill anything, destroy buildings, defenders, heavy tanks, hellis... you name it!
all buildings will be torn down as they are all outside the mortar troop rage, air defense are useless, towers shooting individually are useless, tanks have no chance to even come close, same for defending infantry...
it is really ridiculous, what needs to be done is at least REDUCE the mortar troops range, and their fire power is tremendous, a mortar troop is stronger than a heavy tank lol
things need to be fixed so the game can be playable again.

If what you are saying were true, then we would always have tied wars with tiebreakers defined in time, and that is not happening.

Hey..we were all using factory Troops like bazookas, heavy thanks, etc. Now I am backing using normal troop again like mortars and artillery. A welcome change. My mortars are quite slow, and needs protection anyway

mortars was for so long bad to use, so it's not too overpowered, just people know what bonuses they need and what to attack first. I doubt if mortar actually could survive missile silo on its own.

This again - because someone can't defend against mortar troops?
Yes it's crazy that they're more powerful than a tank but they're not overpowered nor invincible.

once they made the same thing with the hellis, and they were invincible , later on, they get them back to where they belong.
i think it is time to put back these little troops to where they belong too.

As people have said, they have already tilted the needle towards defense, there is literally no troop other than mortars that can consistently hit 3D bases without the use of premium TTs..
You nerfs mortars you will have a complete distinction of teams which would be proportional to how much you spend..
1) people who spend 100s of $ every war to get Tupos, BHMs will rise to the top 10-15 ranks
2) Then a big drop-off of people who can't clear even a same age base because they refuse to spend money on the game..

When those two separations happen it'll be a big drop glory of in teams in top 10-15 and alliance in top 50.. Atleast now a rank 50 alliance can still think of fighting a mismatch with a team ranked 10, if they do what you say there's ZERO chance of a top 50 team even thinking of touching any base of the top 10 team...

I would argue the game is the most balanced (if not slightly more unbalanced favouring D) it has ever been..

Agreed, this setup needs strategy to play and it's the only possible combo left. Otherwise, Ike wars would be back

Sorry but I didn’t have a single attack of such a combo using mortars on my base, same for WW and playing from 2018, now in digital age. From my opinion this is marginal issue for top players or cheaters - but they can probably hack any single unit not just mortars if they wish to.

I don’t thing rebalance is needed. My British shooters are useless, probably 😉

Heavy tanks, helis, zooks maybe. Air troops only yes. Mortar troops? Bring it. It’s slow and sloppy, get kill in no time.
