This is probably the first time I've seen someone say that the attack boost for defenders doesn't matter much.
I guess if you had 0/1000 then it wouldn't matter. But what if you had 1000/0?
1000/0 would give the attacking unit a 1 hit kill barring reactive armor (assault tanks in CE). I'm assuming same age units.
Well, I would still have a very good chance, because they would hit my Rogues first, which negates all but 1 of those 1000 attack points. And, since I am using an Anti-Aircraft Vehicle as my 1 regular unit, they would get hit twice before they got to shoot again. So, unless they have reactive armor, they would be dead before getting to use the whole attack boost. (Insert evil laugh here.)
So what's the breaking point on defense value bonus in a CA city to repel a 1/7 Rogue tactic attack with 85% A/V value bonus?
You really are a very Happy Chappy aren't you?
Ardak is right. Rogues give an advantage, not an unbeatble combo. Every, okay most defences can be beaten and most attacks can be reppeled.
I am 48/531 and no one gets in with either CE or TE troops
Contact only works if the unit is in range and artillery can stay out of range. I just wouldn't use the CE artillery unit.
Sounds more like you're answering my earlier post rather than the one you quoted. In both GE and PvP, I have run across multiple different defense army combos. The only ones that give me trouble are the ones exclusively using Champs and CE Assault Tanks with high defense boost, like over 200%. Among other combos, I actually take more damage from CE Missile Artillery, because of the collateral damage, but artillery of any type doesn't slow me down much.Contact only works if the unit is in range and artillery can stay out of range.

531 okay, so that's probably beyond the breaking point for most attackers. I mean clearly there's always someone stronger but I'm not worried about that so much but it seems for most player it's somewhere between 200 to 500 percent defense value bonus. Would like to narrow that down and try to fugue what it would take and how long for a new city non diamond player to obtain that defensive value.
Probably. The problem with missile artillery is that even with 1 shot kills it is really unlikely to take out 1 of anything with 7 rogues so it's useless as defense. In any event, I think we got sidetracked with the 1000/0 vs 0/1000 though personally I much prefer the chance of 1-shot kills but itdepends if you have units that can hit enemy units on the 1st move. Ultimately I'm better off if I can kill your units faster than you can kill mine. There's only so much a defensive boost can do. I'd much rather have a high attack boost and reactive armor and not worry about defense boosts.
