War base troop donations: what's best?

[MacFhearchair]

Howitzers and riflemen? Or tanks and riflemen?

Good discussion here

For most base, howitzer and riflemen are easy available and effective. Howitzer was advertised for defense by Nexon! Use the other troops only if you know what you are doing.

 

[Radzeer]

Pretty much outdated, since then on we got the Armored cars and copters... high lvl armored cars are beasts...

What I can suggest it’s a combo of Howitzer/Field Mortar/ Raiders or Rifle, recently on a WW I faced a combo Field Howitzer/Armored Car, that is nice too.

Definitely not tanks because they don't do enough damage to enemy units. The normal thing is howitzers, rifleman, maybe armored cars but decent attackers won't get hurt by whatever is in there. Still, you always want to get the best in there and it might make a difference depending on the skill of the attacker. You can also delete the troops that someone donates to your war base if you need to because sometimes people give out the worst troops in war bases even if they had good intentions.

point taken but seems ok for global on down where those troops arent an option

Anyone still asking for or donating machine guns or mortar troops for defense? Low age alliance members especially you could donate these to.

What about MRLs? Their stats are better than FH/HA. Does their slow rate of fire negate the extra damage? Is the splash damage less than FH/Ha?

 

[Necksahn]

IMHO, Howies are the best. The reason is their damage has is AOE so they can kill a chunk of your troops in one hit (especially if enemy just rallied to kill your tc so they all bunched up)

The stats of MRLs are wrong. Without library boost, one MRL has less damage per second than a max uni boost Cold War HA, but bigger shot. Probably the same dps per troop space. Not sure about how much splash damage.

With library boost probably MRLs are better in defense than HA.

A mix of Heavy artillery/field howitzers along with Armored cars seems to work quite well.

 

[Dvicious]

Do library/uni upgrades travel with troop donations? I imagined that those stats only applied to ones own troops. It could be hard for the game to keep track of troop stats like this if several people donated the same troops but had different originating buffs from lib/uni. Anyone know?

 

[Quang t legend]

Dvicious. Many said donated troop use library and uni upgrade from receiver

Lately it seems that you should add whatever collectively gets you the highest dps. Other than Blitzkrieg, it seems like everyone is just using nearly all decoys (Myself included) so whatever troop is in there doesn't affect the outcome as much unless the decoys get taken down quickly or an accidental mis click of the decoys which does happen. I like the armored cars in theory as they have a better rate of fire, dmg, and hp. They don't have the splash like howis but the decoys are spaced out so splash doesn't affect them. That being said, it is a burden on oil and they can be taken down like anything else. For general purposes, you should always have howis at the very minimum and use brit shooters to fill in those smaller spaces if any. If you have the oil to use than try armored cars. I've tried both combos many, many times but it hasn't seemed to really change the outcome of a war. From watching, the worse the attacker, the more effective howis are because those are generally the players that will click rally on the town center and get blasted away. I think the average player would expect the howitzer but be surprised by the armored car and perhaps make a mistake. Our wars have really been up and down lately with varying degrees of opponents. Currently its gain 854 glory or lose 70 so I don't expect any combo we use in the town center will matter.

Load your bases up with raiders. Trust me

 

[Saruman the White]

Heavy Cavalry for me. They last much longer, causing attackers to spend precious seconds

 

[Drinkin'Buddy]

This is what I usually do, I would use armored cars but they're too expensive.

 

[yemen]

Unless someone can bring in the planes, when they die just as fast as anything else, and do hardly any damage in the meantime.

Howitzers and riflemen? Or tanks and riflemen?

howies...and there are very simple reasons for it:

1) They shoot your troops from range (behind walls)
2) you must send planes to take them out fast, or your troops suffer heavy losses

choppers are nice also
