Yeah, saw it when you originally posted it. Many say "proof or it didn't happen" and when proof is actually supplied it is promptly ignored.... no one in their right mind who has ever played any kind of a similar game could possibly look at the way the troops went from placed could say that that is the way it is supposed to be. But I digress, no one really gives a ♥♥♥♥ about WB's, most that reply do so to defend SC's honor or something. The SC apologists and fan boys really makes me wonder if they recieve free gems for all the ♥♥♥♥ kissing they do.

Was attacking a very simple th7 not too long ago that made me want to throw up on account of the wallbreakers. Base was a 2 wall base, core and big wall around the whole base. 4 wallbreaker and I'm in, is what I was thinking.

First pair, no problem. 2nd pair just ran down the side of the wall to get killed. 3rd pair blows up the walls right beside the already blown opening hole. 4th pair finally go to the core. It was horrible. Posted the pics in another thread about wallbreakers. Might try to find a link.

Edit: here's the thread with the pics. http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...breakers/page3

The wall breakers didn't target the core because the core wasn't a closed compartment. There is an opening in the top corner, hidden by the clan castle.

I'm not here to defend Supercell's honor or to be a fanboy. There are things about Clash that I'm unhappy with, but wall breakers aren't one of them.

Ah, very good eye. I never caught that until you pointed it out. That would explain why they went crazy after that. Thank you for bring that to my attention, much appreciated.

Your welcome. A lot of examples of AI weirdness have some explanation, but I've definitely seen some that defy my logic.

I find nothing wrong with their AI

Remember they prefer junctions and corners popping out. As soon as you fully get this, then WB AI is magic

Tried dumping like 6-8 of them at a time? They will get that second layer for ya.

Not true. Tried that and it doesnt work

They essentially target the nearest compartment with buildings in it. Learn how to use them, and you'll be fine.

That is totally untrue.
It happens all the time they blow up empty compartments or walls that stand alone..
I have to bring 15 or 16 wb's to make them anywhere near useful..

Wrong too. Quite often I drop them right in front of a junction and they blow up the wall right next to it, opening thus one compartment only instead of multiple..

never happened to me, guess you are doing something wrong

Maybe WBs should be dumbed down where they would charge straight ahead upon being released.

That would make it much easier and useful. And it actually take skill to time the release of WBs instead of dumping 20 WBs and hope they break into the 2nd layer.
