Well if you say one AD against one Balloon your math is correct. But in a maxed out base. The balloon might be targeted by several anti-air defenses (xbow air/ground, AT,IT and WT). So you should make several combinations of a balloon being hit by one the above and AD at the same time. Then you will have different results. I won't upgrade them at the beginning as they will be right before the cannons after every thing else.
balloon lvl 6 = 545 hp
2 archer towers lvl 11 shoots 3 times each and 1 air defense lvl 7 shoot 1 time = balloon still up
2 archer towers lvl 11 shoots 3 times each and 1 air defense lvl 8 shoot 1 time = balloon down
thats what people are trying to explain to you... it wouldn't make difference if the single air defense lvl 7 or 8 is ur only defense against balloons or dragons, but thats not the case.
But if is it worth upgrading or not is kinda harder to say... cause maybe upgrading the archer tower would do better... idk
anyway, definitely better than upgrade 1 or 2 pieces of wall.
So how about combining an AD with an archer tower and air bomb, just for example? And what about the very significant difference in damage on a lava hound?
My instinct does say lv 7 AD are good enough to cope with most air raids but when fully maxed out th10s are getting popped by lava hounds, makes me think you need that extra dps.
Now that lavaloon pretty much destroys everything in its path. Yes, it is worth upgrading it.
you're doing the math "wrong"
you're assuming that only 1 AD will be attacking, you'll have 4, plus inferno/archer/wizard/Air bombs
even IF it is not worth it
after you're done with every defenses, you'll upgrade them in the end anyway
you'll be choosing between 2 lvl11 walls or lvl8 AD upgrade
you are absolutely right combinations will take down the max balloon or max dragon quicker then just the air defense,Quote:

see guys some of us are not in college some of didn't take the advance maths that use all those fancy symbols and formulas,, all we got is hard numbers to work with,,
my example of damage per shot against one troop gives me a clear picture that would help me decided if I should or should not upgrade it
Like I tell everyone in my clan who asks...eventually you will upgrade everything so don't sweat it. Of course there are defenses that make more sense to upgrade first but in the end, do whatever you want. You know how many times one shot or one hit of a hammer has cost me a three star or saved me from being three starred? Too many to count.
I agree with OP, at th10 air defences to max are not overwhelmingly important. Sure, they are important upgrades, but definitely not as important as, for example, infernos. However, the extra DPS may be really useful against hounds. And as Travis said, sometimes only one shot can make a difference between a 3* and a 2*.
Don't forget the hp buff they get takes a bit longer for balloons n dragons to destroy them which gives them more time to take out the enemy troops. Yes worth upgrading.

and no I can not do the math for multiple variables equations so I trust you guys when you say well with this and this and that the out come is different, I will concede that you are right
but most players don't do that,,, on a bell curve,,, the average player thinks ,,, man I got to get them upgraded now I am level 10,, and until I looked at it tonight I have to admit I was one of those guys,,, but now I can sit back and relax and enjoy the game instead of being in a constant state of frustrated because my builders are sitting idle
