Will Super Cell ever fix wall breakers?

It is important to remember that WB has its own detection range, if the wall surrounding building is too far, it will not detect it and just target nearest random walls instead.

by depending on WB on breaking every single layer of walls, you are already not using them properly. Use them to break only the outer wall, break the core wall with other units.

understand now?

It can also not do this too. If you take a look at thread link in my previous comment ( just above yours ) you can see the wbs double back on themselves, to take out a wall with absolutely no buildings inside it ( there was, but they were destroyed by the time the wbs went for that particular wall.

It's rare that this happens, not unlike pekkas movement we have all grown to love/hate. Little "blips" happen, also explained why in my previous post. :)

I find wallbreaker fairly sensible, the occasional snafu, but predictable on the whole....

In the list of dumb troops, they are nowhere near pekka, dumb fairies, and AQ, for pure dumb Ness. ...:rolleyes:

But the fact is, wall breakers will run further left or right than they will straight. I do not understand how or why or what the point is of placing a WB in one area only to have it go to a completely different area. If it were wanted in that area, it should have to be placed there.

They already have fixed WB's...

Many people may consider me insane for saying this, but I preferred the wall breaker AI when they would target wall spikes and not do splash damage - it made for some interesting and crazy base designs that never got old. Now, it is hard to have a fun looking base that also functions well, it is usually either one or the other.

@OP - some people have given you great advice on how to deploy them, does their AI act a little weird sometimes? Sure, but that is what happens when you have multiple algorithms to calculate different things. Most AI only have to calculate one thing, but wall breakers have to calculate not only distance to the closest building, but also distance to the closest wall, and the wall that correlates with being in front of the closest building. The more calculations it has to run, the greater difference from one unit to the next will be, even deploying the the wall breaker a millimeter away from the first (which is quite easy and unnoticeable) can easily change the wall piece they target.

You also have to consider factors such as buildings that they have to run around,because troops do not run over buildings that still have hp, which will also cause a difference in targeting mechanics.

no troop is perfect, but if you listen to the advice others gave you, it will maximize your chance of success.

Mine are working as intended...

they always go for the wall closest to where they are being dropped and sometimes if you are lucky, the weakest connection in the wall (usually corners and or where different level walls connect)

Wall breakers don't need to be fixed, just thanked.

Thank you wall breakers :o for making a path for my gobbies to loot, giants to smash and barb to tap tap tap with their little swords.

Sir, you are... wrong.

1. Wbs were TERRIBLE. But SC FIXED them and make them GREAT. I totally agree with you there.

2. At that point, It DIDn't need to be fixed. If SC let them as they was, I would be so so happy

3. Here is the part that you don't know: THEY FIXED them again. Yes, they FIXED the working WBs and broke them.

Remember the update where they make troops target the same pieces of wall? Yes, that one break Wbs.

By the way, the recent "improve" on healer's AI to make a better Healer break healers, too.

Please tell me the Wbs in the video below doesn't work because I didn't know how to deploy them.

its not something wrong with them
theres something wrong with you

That is EXACTLY what I said in my post earlier! It's not a huge deal but, it does happen from time to time and almost exclusively during a raid in which I decided to run w/ 6-8 wbs. :(

The question is not if they want to, the question is if they are capable. They fix one thing and bug another.

fwiw - Ive found the best wb in the game to be pekka level 5 (rage is best against lava/zaps).

Actually goblins are a great wallbreaker as well, I use them in my hog armies and look for towns with resources next to the town hall......easy path for my heroes.
