I usually use an army of 33 level 4 hogs, 6 wizards and 26 archers and in my clancastle are 4 level 5 hogs. The capacity of my army camp is 215. and I use 4 healing spells.
As first I vieuw the base - Looking to the corners (are the any builderhuts hided their who could make me to 99% instead of 100% if I forgot them), I watch the range of the clan castle (how can I lure the cc troops out?) and I watch to empty holes.
A th 7 has 2 hidden teslas and 3 Gbombs
a TH 8 has 3 hiden teslas and 4 gbombs (could be also 3, not sure)
A th9 has 4 hidden teslas and 4 gmbombs.
At this point I'm looking at the empy spots inside the base! Are the empty holes? In case of a th 9 with 4 empty spots inside, than there is a huge chance it are 4 teslas and that his giant bombs are outside the base. Than you should be safe, otherwise if it has more empty spots, you should think about using an different army camp, attacking an other base or seperate your hogs like that that they wont be all destroyed when they get hitted by what giant bombs.
Level 4 hogs are awesome, you can do a lot with it.
When I start the attack, I firstly lure the cc troops out. When the castle is centralized, I use hogs to lure them out, when they aren't, than I use archers to lure them out. I guide them too the corner with my archers and than make a circel around it with my archers, so they don't get all killed against a troop with splash damage. Instead needed I place a few wizards.
Than I place 1 hog, to see if the path is giantbomb free, and if that is or the bomb exploded- I will drop all my hogs. (You could also think about placing all hogs like an straight line, next to each other) But I dunno how to explain that in english.
I guide the hogs with healing spells and than after all defenses died, I place all my wizards, archers and heroes left. I seperate them all at a side. So I place my archerqueen and a wizard at the left side, while I place my Barbarian king and 10 archers at the right side. Above and Under I place my wizards, in this way I take care that 6 wizards are not shooting the same building . (What most likely is a waste for time, cuz 2 wizards could have killed already that building, and now 6 wizards are doing the work for 2).
Hehe, I hope I could help a bit.
