Casualty Loss...mine is lowering. Reason-patch or my strategy change?

[JohnnyR]

Not sure if there's a fix that has taken place, or if my recently implemented strategy has bore fruit, but for about 100+ battles/raids fought today, I've lost an estimate of 3 Chinooks, 2 Warthogs, a Seahawk, for a total of about 7-8 high dollar units, plus a handful of other units not worth mentioning (Patrol Boats, Armored Observation, Hum-Vee, etc). Losing between 1-3 Scouts, Rangers or Machine Gunners per battle. Have been picking them wisely, never taking any building netting me less than 10k, though I am constantly attacking guys who I hope to have a chunk of change hanging out of their vault...so very rarely am I hitting the jackpot.

What I did: last upgrade poured my points into attack, spread out my meat shield units from all scouts to 40% Scouts, 40% Machine Gunners, and 20% rangers. I was getting pretty frustrated a few days ago, level of frustration is going down. I've not logged anything, though I will now, probably tonight when my energy/stamina reset, now that I have a reason to.


You guys?

Oh, my stats (one of legion mediocre players here...):

Level 30
A: 1718, Skill: 30
D: 1965, Skill: 12
Income: 30733
#allies: 388
#units: 722

Unit breakdown:
Meatshields: 250
Patrol Boats: 200
Armed Observation-Avenger: ~40
Warthog, Chinook, Seahawk: ~60
Rest is random.

Not unless it is another phased thing like the boost buildings. I still can't either attack or raid. I tried against a few 1/3 my strength. In 3 raids got 35k and lost about 160k in $ units, 2 avengers, jungle stalker and 5 loot units. I seem to be averaging 5-6 times losses in tests over the last few days. I'm been losing very low units like frigates at the same rate as my high meat shields like rangers and snipers.

I have seen a decrease in casualty rate as well. I have not updated my version so I do not have access to infirmary. In fact, I have also seen an increase in loot drop rate without casualties. In my last 10 battles, I attacked for over $600k, a heavy bomber, two tree snipers, and a battle tank. In those battles, I lost about $150k in units and a border commander. I'm beginning to wonder if Funzio lowered the casualty rate for those who have yet to update.
