Oil raided by tactical helicopter - video

[Arya_Dominations]

The title says it all...

 

[Mountainking]

Man this suxs so bad....Got to design another layout to protect against this as it becomes rampant.....

 

[FroggyKilla]

And it begins..... Well it'll be another 9 years before the next patch.

Edit: The proper change is to deploy troops only on buildings you've destroyed.

Looks like new demolition tactic
And it's so worth it cause tactical helicopter cost is only 165 oil

Incidentally the guy who raided above in the video happens to use 5 HT army . Andrezj from Poland United. I've learned 1 or 2 stuff from him as I use the same kinda army setup. Trivia.

Another demonstration that they have absolutely nobody playtesting this game like a real high level player would play. Sure, they may have a few in-house testers (unlikely) but they probably have unlimited crowns.

Far less severe but further proving the point: the first war perk increases gold yet again. As if gold is ever an issue past gunpowder age. How about something for the lack of food in higher ages?

Ive said it multiple times, they dont beta test crap with actual players that can figure this stuff out. They just release way to OP or buggy stuff and hope it doesnt cause more people to quit the game before they can fix it.

Food shortage is an entire other issue. If the time and workers needed to upgrade the producing farms/caravans were drastically reduced, people would actually upgrade them. Hell even make it a prereq before you can go to a new age, you have to have your farms/caravans at least within 2 ages of your current level.

so, looks like SAMs won't be enough to stop them, 3 of them costing around 600 oil and taking less than 5 mins to train with blessing can achieve 3000-5000 oil loot per 5 mins - the cost average 2500-4500 oil per 5 mins

that's far better than what oil raiders used to do, as they consumed many raiders and wall miners (up to almost entire army) for a single raid

no idea if they r even going to prevent that abuse of new helicopters, and if it's gonna take forever till they figure how and implement it in one of their updates, but i really starting to hate how they release new troops before testing their impact on all aspects of the game

PS the only way around it is to make it unable to carry raiders, as any other type of nerf would make this new unit useless to mean players who wish to use it in real war strategies

Lets take the #1 game in this genre as an example.

CoC recently had an update, a few weeks ago, that introduced a new troop called Night Witch.

The day of the release they issued a statement that they were delaying the release because after thorough play testing through the previous two weeks, they realized the Night Witch was way to OP and would ruin the balance of the game.

So in the end, SC took a little bit of backlash for not making the changes before the day of the release, but in the end that was nothing in comparison of what they would have gotten if they released the NW in its OP state.

Play/beta testing new features and troops could have prevented multiple bugs, game breaking mechanics, and over powered troops/buildings in this game. Instead we get a game stuffed full of issues that take weeks/months/and even years to resolve and some have gone unresolved. I dont see why we should ever think things are going to improve going forward. Eventually we are all goling to quit this game out of sheer frustration.

 

[Penambangliar]

Just blocked deployment of raider from helicopter. Imho

 

[Berny]

Incredibly frustrating, hope there is a fix soon.
Ironically the video also shows the long-standing "David Copperfield" bug of troops occasionally walking through walls.

 

[Mountainking]

Hey that's me. I looted around 250k of oil last night using helicopters, it's the most efficient way to loot oil right now. If nexon want to stop that, the most simple solution is that you can put anything in a helicopter except raiders. Sorry for bad english

Thanks for your honest post.

 

[Kam1983]

Holy crap. The guy proudly says "hey that s me". There is a bug and intead of playing fair, he proudly abuses the crap of it. Holy hell. And don't freaking say it s a strategy cos it s freaking not.

 

[Evningcome]

Of course it's not a bug ,it's just a new units .I don't want another helicopters (ATOMIC AGE TROOPS) being good for use pre-industrial age .....how many of you used normal helicopters ???? Let me guess 1% ,why ? cuz they are useless (Sniper tower obsolete them)

 

[LordJestix]

A Bug is code in the program that causes the program to work in a way that isnt intended or to break the program.

for instance, Night Witch cards not disappearing and being immune to all defenses. Neither of those were intended programming.

The TH right now are being used exactly as intended. If for some reason it allowed you to put in more troops or was immune to air defense or made the troops it drops immune to defense those would be bugs.

 

[Festivus]

Prohibiting raiders from being used with TH won't solve the problem. 15 Elite Infantry inside would take your refinery just as fast if not faster.

 

[Green Bird]

The only way, as it is voiced elsewhere on this forum, is to load the chopper before its departure. This way it can at least be shot down resulting in loss of troops as well.

 

[Htmk5]

Doesn't solve the issue either, the troops inside the th take less time to rebuild than the th

 

[LordJestix]

It doesnt solve the issue, but it does help improve the issue. And the issue isnt just with raiders, My roman infantry could probably take out the oil faster than raiders. So if they exclude raiders then it will just move to infantry.

Kam1983 - this is no bug and he has been playing legal . He was just quick to figure things out. And it is strategy - French , lvl 7 factory, enough crowns to get it fast , enjoy till the time a nerf of some sort is implemented.
