Perplexed by TH7 base designing - Looking for advice!

So, having recently moved up to TH7, I have found myself unable to come up with base designs I consider worthwhile. I came up with one recently which has seen me fail raid after raid to people with level 5 troops (damn them!:mad:) and so am looking to try something else. Raiding with healer + 20 giants + 60 archers has lead me to the feeling that protecting the air defence is a huge priority and I'm not really sure whether I am correct in thinking so. Either way these are three designs I have come up with.

The first one is the one I mentioned, that I am using it atm without a second tesla and dark elixir storage, and I cannot even raise 1m gold or 600k elixir in order to afford them without getting 3 starred

So my questions are which, of the three, is the best design. Is unavoidable that, as a new TH7 (with fully upgraded TH6 defences) I will struggle at the beginning? If not what should I be doing?

I know these are alot of questions but I feel truly lost. Any help from one of you fine forum goers would be greatly appreciated! :)

Btw, for frame of reference, here is the first base design in-game so that you can see what level my stuff is :) (note: as you can see the single tesla is a far cry from two teslas and a de storage but I'm trying to make do :P)

question 1, why are you building hybrid bases with town hall inside when farming ?

Well idk it just always seems to me that I'd want protect the town hall, do you think it's a big disadvantage to have that 4x4 in the center? I must admit it makes designing a hassle but, at the same time. Are shields really worth it?

Are you basically saying it'd be wise for me to put the TH outside and wrong to try to protect it as the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages of doing so?

Its not about being a hassle or not, but that it being protected serves no purpose.

A town hall only hold 1000/1000 resources.

And based on your trophy level, you are farming for resources, where trophy are not of concern.

Losing a town hall will make you lose trophy, which can be gained very easily when raiding for resources at the same time.

However, you gain a shield, which is the best defense for your resources. Second best method to defend your resources is to have low resources, but thats a different story.

Hmmm, fair enough. I guess I will try playing with the TH outside and see what happens!

What did you use to make the 3 designs?? What program/files? Overall they all look decent. :eek:

There are two major problems with your designs. The first, as has already been mentioned, is you're protecting your town hall. This forces you to defend more space while depriving you of very inexpensive shields.

The second is that a common theme in your designs is using an egg crate pattern. That is you're surrounding a large area with walls and betting (poorly) that someone won't break into the center.

Your designs should focus around creating separate compartments for storages. This requires your attacker to break into multiple smaller compartments instead of into one large compartment.

When considering base designs try to think of the characteristics of bases that were hard for you to break into. Consider why they were hard.

I don't realy Like anyone of each for :

1: Friendly To WallBreaker ( Means that 4 Wallbreakers are enough to be in the loot)
2: Townhall should be outside.

I advice you to do 2 Things , Stay away from 1400+ trophies. Go down as you like but not at 200-.

For your Base you have two options .

3 Layers of walls with 2-4 Long sparkles and spikes, inside put the storages and mortars , wizard towers rest of stuff are
Outside Townhall very very far. Or choose anyone's base

Use the th as a giant obstacle as it has lots of hp.

But to save yourself a lot of trouble, use someone else's design

Here is mine which partially protects the TH. A tesla is being built beside the TH, and the other tesla will be on the other side.

If you want your storages in seperate compartments, I designed this one:
