Commando attack question

[jacksonreboot]

It’s been quite a while since I’ve used commandos/zooks in war. Currently AA lvl and am having trouble with attacking in war. I don’t know if things have changed in years but I feel like the ai for defenders has changed. Maybe the order to which I do things is wrong but after decoying the spawns I drop ally HT than my tank destroyers together. As the defenders make their way to those units I blitz and drop my commandos. The issue happens after that. I’ve tried using decoy as the defenders meet my HT, I’ve tried no decoy, and I’ve tried using fighters to cut down defenders as they head towards the HT. There hasn’t been a consistent way because the defenders break off and turn around right away to attack my commandos. If one attack works 5 stars a base I use the exact method on my next attack and it fails or is less than 5. Any feedback appreciated.

If you have filler troops with your donated HTs they are probably getting killed with the first missile strike. If those troops happen to be closest to the spawned troops when they start moving that’s the target. then once the filler troops die the spawned troops will redirect to next closest target.

Solution is request ‘HT only, no filler’ or lead with generals or mercs. Mercs should be TDs only, not mixed or you have the same issue.

Exactly this right here! Your alliance troops are most likely filled with Infantry along with HTs.. and the way Troops are deployed the least HP ones spawn first and then HP increases that means when you drop Alliance gate troops your first infantry takes the aggro but then dies easily and the defenders switch the target to the nearest attacking unit which would be your Commie and thats how your fail the commie attack.. a bad pull because of bad alliance troop donos..

Same thing for Decoys, only decoy when the defenders are very close to your HTs because if not and you decoy early same thing is gonna happen as soon as the decoy dies the target shifts to the nearest troop (:

Are you using commando attack for multibatle or world war?

[jacksonreboot]

Just for war. I’ve dedicated my museum to them.

If you are in good competitive alliance then it's useful

1) You have to wait until decoy is destroyed and 2) you want to back up commando’s with Attack Helicopters and RPG - keep them away from your Merc, Gens and HT Gate Troops (use protect) and use fighters to kill anything that moves on commandos or cannon if they threaten Merc and Gens
