30s pre-timer in war back?

[Dresden]

Since the April(?) update, I've been starting my war attack as soon as I jump into a battle due to the 30s pre-timer being removed. However, last night, when I started a war attack, I THINK I noticed the pre-timer was back. Now, I could have just been seeing things, and I started my attack so fast I didn't get a double-look, but I could have sworn I saw a 30s timer. Can anyone else confirm?

It just won't let you back out of the attack.

Yes, the pre-attack 30 second timer is back.

i never knew that this was removed in the first place.

It just won't let you back out of the attack.

So kinda the best of both worlds, huh? Still gives you room to breath when you start your attack, but doesn't let you leave without losing?

It was never gone. The attack started with the 30secs pre-attack timer even right after the attack confirmation window update. I'm sure of it.

Nope, that's definitely not true. In the April update, they removed the 30s window because people complained you shouldn't be allowed to back out of a battle once you start it. It was a bandaid fix. A couple months later and they figured out how to give you the 30s window back AND make it so you can't back out, even in the 30s window (apparently - have not tested; not going to test).

I know that April update prevented backing out of the attack. I'm in a constant warring clan.

But from what I remember the timer did not start counting down from 3mins right away. I think it started counting down from 30secs, just as with normal attack and then resets to 3mins when first troop is deployed. But backing out consumed the war attack.

And when I watched a live replay from the start I noticed the timer started at 3min 30sec, then jumped to 3mins when first troop was deployed.

You still have your 30 seconds. No need to hurry. You can zoom in to the air defense you want to take out and repeat the correct order once again. The 3 minute timer will start the moment when you deploy your first troop or use the first spell.

The only thing that changed is if you quit the attack in the first 30 seconds, the attack is counted, but honestly with the army preview dialog before the attack who needs to get out any more. Either start an attack or dont do it. The only ones who needed this where the fluffy users. Well you can pick the wrong base, but this can be easily avoided by scouting the base and attacking from within. If you dont see it there, you will not see it in the 30 seconds.

No, I clearly remember being able to spend those first seconds watching it count down from 3:30 not 3:00 immediately after the bunny-nerf update in April.
