Well...I never could get Pekkas to work...
They're a bit disappointing. They can't tank, can't stay on target, if they wander into a Tesla they're fried, and they make lousy CC troops. There are better ways to spend 25 housing spaces and 42,000 elixir.
Pekkas may have been the Ultimate Rage Super Level 10 Mac Boom Diggety when the game was first released and Town Hall EIGHT was the maximum, but in a world of now four, level-7 Teslas; three level-3 x-bows; the Big Troop Killer, Inferno Towers; and the Dark Elixir Army, there's just no room for the PEKKA.
So, yeah, maybe revamp/restat/reconsider/remodel. This is the MAX LEVEL barrack troop, man. From the day I first loaded the game and made my first Barbarian, I was looking up to this thing, thinking how awesome it would be to finally have one. It's LEVEL TEN, it's supposed to rock harder than the Dragon.
I'm Town Hall 9 now. I use Dragons, people who raid me use Dragons. I rarely see PEKKA. Know what happens to people who come at me with PEKKA? They leave my village with no stars, negligible loot, and curses about PEKKA not living up to expectations.
And...you made my other point.

People expect pekkas to be easy to master and easy to wipe anything with, the reality clearly is that they aren't. Your surrounding troops, spells and amount of pekka needs to be roughly exact to be used effectively. It takes a while to find the right mix. But as a lvl130 with lvl4 pekka i can safely say from experience that with the ability to target defences, they would be way to OP!
If there's already a path right to the center, and the stupid stuff around the outside of the base is already gone, then you no longer need the Pekka. You could send a dragon, or a healer and 11 archers, or 5 Hog Riders, or 3 Valkyries and a Barbarian, or 25 Barbarians or 25 Goblins.
You're probably right, I'm sure after many raids of spending 84,000 for 2 Pekka to take up 50 housing spaces I'm sure you'll learn the ins and outs of placing them just right so they go where you want them to go, and that would make you kind of a badass. It's just that none of that elixir-expensive, time-consuming stuff is necessary. Because I have Dragons. Dragons rule. Pekka should be 9 and Dragons should be 10.
Why is people just saying that pekkas are too powerful
How can pekkas be powerful???? Even if the outside buildings are gone you send your pekka inside and a level 7 tesla could spring up or the inferno tower could just frie it and 25 troops are gone if very sure that the ones that are posting in this thread saying that they are already really good are the TH7 because for the last troop of the barracks it should be the best super troop not a stupid useless troop that eats 30000 elixir and 25 troops then supercell just wasted their time making that troop because supercell come on that troop looks so cool and you made it a piece of junk is it so hard to just make him target defenses if that gets added the pekka will return to the champion
What will people say when they get the pekka
New person plays the game and says
Barracks 1 : wow these barbarians are pure destruction and cheap
Barracks 2 : wow archer can destroy buildings inside walls
Barracks 3 : a troop that gets me lots of recourses
Barracks 4 : wow this troop is awesome it goes against defenses and are indestructible
Barracks 5 : wow this thing blows walls with only 1 hit
Barracks 6 : wow a unit that isn't stopped by walls and can't be targeted by cannons
Barracks 7 : a very strong archer with massive damage
Barracks 8 : wow this thing heals my units such as my giants and makes my giants invensible
Barracks 9 : wow a super troop that made a 100% on a th7
Barracks 10 : a big and expensive barbarian that keeps on destroyng useless buildings outside the walls and that hidden tesla is just killing it in just a few seconds what a fail I won't use this troop ever again
Dark barracks 1 : wow a flying archer
Dark barracks 2 : wow giants that jump over walls
Dark barracks 3 : she is pretty useless on attack but she defends really good she took down 10 barbarians on one hit
Dark barracks 4 : wow a really big giant that takes like 2 minutes to kill
Dark barracks 5 : wow she is impossible to kill because she keeps on creating more skeletons its like if I had 1000 barbarians on my army camp
So as you see pekka isn't good at attacking or defending its the worst troop in the game
