Town hall sniping not as common as people say

[erethizon]

I would like to start by saying that I am not complaining about what has happened to me, but wanted to share my experiences and hear what other people are experiencing as well.

I am currently a relatively new TH9 (less than a month now) in Crystal 1/2 that was fully maxed when I made the change from 8 to 9. I have a well built base designed to be more trouble to raid than it is worth (all of the latest 8 full out attacks I have received have resulted in 61% or less damage to my base with most of them resulting in less than 50% and all of them only getting a fraction of my available resources). 5 of those 8 attacks were by town hall 10's as well so they had pretty decent armies (and my base has no active traps so it is easier to get a higher score on it).

The point of my thread is this, of the last dozen attacks on my base, 8 of them were full out attacks. My town hall is in the corner with decorations around it ready to be sniped. My base is designed to be a pain to attack so people won't bother (they don't know the traps aren't active when attacking). I do tend to have a decent amount of resources available (I keep all 5 builders busy at all times and am not dumping much into walls anyway so I tend to have at least 100k of each resource available).

I should point out that 6 of those 8 full out attacks were revenge (I get at least a couple hundred wins per season and generally much more so I am on a lot of people's revenge list). I do not zap anyone's DE though so these are not revenges based on petty anger caused by that.

The claims that people are getting sniped 95% of the time when they have full storages just are not holding up for me. What are you experiencing? Tells us your trophy range and most importantly your town hall level. Do you usually log out with few resources to take? My guess is that it is mostly TH10's that are getting 95% snipes when their storages are full (since infernos make people not want to attack them anyway).

I guess you just look like an easy raid in that league. I am in crystal 2 at the moment and have a maxed TH10 base except high 20s heroes and walls a mix of 9s and 10s and I haven't had anything except a snipe for over a month.

well, if you're just starting as a TH9 then most probably TH9 and TH10 players looks at your base as an easy target. as soon as you step as a th9 you offer less loot penalty for th9 and th10 raiders and the more you get prone of being attacked.

but if your at TH9 and you have a good layout, skull walls and almost maxed defense towers, there are some TH9 and TH10 farmers who would skip your base. that's the time you get your shield by snipers.

can i see that th8 base of yours

Regardless of certain opinions, wall level matters.

Legos are much more intimidating.

I 'm also in Crystal 2 and I get sniped 19 out of 20 times.

There isn't a single full raid against me on my defense log. Not one. I honestly don't remember when the last time I was actually raided was, with someone who actually could raid. This doesn't include barching attempts. I get those occasionally. Doesn't matter, I collect regularly...

I think the secret to my success is that I don't just put decorations around my base, I put my two DE drills. When you offer 2500 DE on a raid, snipers don't know how much is really in the drills.... and I tend to get Sniped instantly after I log off.

I am lvl128 TH10 and currenty I have been farming for 4 months. My TH is in the corner for those who want an easy few trophies with minimum troops loss... 89 out of the last 90 attacks against me have been snipers and my storages are at least 50%+ full... Most of my defenses are not max'd yet but a good base design helps...

My TH 9 gets sniped all the time. I would venture to guess that 19 of 20 times are snipe and surrender attacks, usually within 5 muni tes of me logging off. I have almost no revenge attacks against me.

TH9 hovering in Gold1. It's been at least two weeks since I've had a full attack against me. I always check to see who sniped me and how much I was offering. It's mostly TH8s who are sniping and I usually offer about 200K of both gold and elixir. My donation ratio is super high because I never need to request defensive troops.

When I farm in crystal league I notice I get full raids about 50% of the time.

Edit: just got a full drag raid from a TH8. I was offering 390K gold and 340K lix. They took 4000 gold and 1000 lix. Dumb attacker lightninged an AD that was upgrading. Lol.

[FireThief]

Well, I do it whenever I'm after easy trophies and loot but I don't want to waste troops.

Which is..... quite often.

Town hall sniping is more common than people care to admit.
