Town Hall 8 - Farming and War bases with 4th Mortar

I had only just upgraded my Town Hall to level 8 and did what I normally did when I wanted a new base: search for it. The problem was, the addition of a fourth mortar made most Town Hall 8 bases obsolete. Sure I could just plonk a fourth mortar in but I thought it was time to make my own base for a change. After a lot of frustration and grand ideas, I came up with a Farming base and a War base.

War Base:

Now, what do you think of my base? Please give constructive feedback, thanks to all!

Edit: Upon posting this, I realised I forgot to swap the Dark Elixir storage with the Barbarian King, I have them swapped now.

Hello. I think you don't really have to protect dark elixir storage in war base. Put it outside and try to triangulate Air defense. Cuz most people like to use full Dragon. Same goes for farming base, as your air defense aren't triangulate it's really easy to attack you from top left side with giant + healer. Town hall 8 people might not get 100% but trust me Town Hall 9 will get 100% for sure. So, try to cover your whole base with air defense range.

Most people? More like all people.

However, I agree with you, triangulate those air defenses.

Anyway, it's really hard to defend against dragons. You have to put most things outside and give a gap between outside buildings to your base's core. That way Dragon circle the base and air defense gets time to kill them. Btw, you should edit your signature. It still shows you are town hall 7 , Lv60

If you're referring to me, I am still level 60, almost 61, and town hall 7. My clan is ridiculously active and always fills up the donation queues before I can.

Yes, I have been trying to get the Air Defences as equally spaced out and triangulated as possible. That isn't so easy, especially now that they added a fourth mortar. Anyway, I moved the air defences to the middle of the war base and I would like to see how it pans out. The real feedback comes from testing. Thanks for the feedback!
