It's a fudge, same as the removal of dead bases bug.
Suprachris, iirc you were asking about using dragons and how to clear a path for them.
Here is a good guide for different attacks http://forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/474450-CW-Tactics-TH8-Dragon-Snipe-Attack-Style
Just click on the links and watch the videos.
I used the 813 attack (mix of dragos and loons) a lot in clan wars
Hope this helps

No not me, it was ONE but thanks for the help

what I need, and I cant seem to find anything, is without Dragons, im finding it hard to funnel and doing any attacks at my level, against th7 and th8
I feel like giving up now

You just need the right troops and there's nothing you can do but give it time. Such as everything in this game. Don't worry about it, it's all good practice anyway, you learn more from a failed attack usually.
How many times have people suggested strategies. A lot of people don't have the troops to do proper TH9 attacks and some people just don't bother.
I'm getting a bit fed up of it all tbh. We have won 3 of our last 15 wars. Maybe we can mix wars up a bit and try some 'main' wars that include only our active members and have 'practice' wars with everyone in?

I'm the same with the stronger TH9s. I get to about 75% and die.
TH9s need to use GoHo, Pentaloon or Max Attack attacks, they're the ones which will most likely get you 3 stars. They're tricky so you'll have to practice.
Goho
Pentaloon
Max Attack
I haven't tried Max Attack. Looked straight forward though.

I wondered what GOHO meant, I kept seeing it on our war chat
I've never heard that being called "max attack" before, only heard it referred to as GoLaLoon.
At TH9 and above you need to be using hybrid attacks, of which the above are examples.
Basically, a hybrid attack is two attack strategies, where the weaknesses of one are covered by the strengths of the other.
GoWipe is great at breaking into targeted areas of the base very quickly, but struggles to 3* as once into the base, the troops get pounded by all the outside defences and die quickly.
Mass hog attacks are weak to enemy heroes, clan castle troops and giant bombs, double giant bombs in particular
LaLoon is weak to clan castle troops, the archer queen and air defences. Grouped up loons are vulnerable to wizard towers.
Mass dragons are weak to clan castle troops and air defences.
All hybrid attacks use a GoWipe variant as a "kill squad" to take out specific parts of the enemy base. The rest of the attack is deployed when you are sure that these defences are taken care of. The only exception to this is where you can ZapQuake to take down multiple air defences with spell slots left over.
E.g. In GoHo, the kill squad targets double giant bomb slots, the clan castle, and the archer queen. Hogs are then deployed in two groups on opposite sides to the kill squad. This way the hogs don't run into their weakness, and they can clear up the outside defences that would otherwise destroy the kill squad entirely.
GoLaloon works the same way, except the kill squad takes out the queen, clan castle troops and 1-2 air defences. The other air defences are either ZapQuaked, or have lava hounds deployed against them. The loons can then wipe out the remaining defences with little resistance. Loons should be deployed in small groups so that they aren't all wiped out by splash damage.

The level of your heroe can also determine the third and final star. My AQ is level 26 now and i can more of less 100% a th9 whilst my BK is upgrading. However, at times missing one hero can result in losing that last star
My clans now reached 99 wins! We only started in Feb/March last year, but we have a high win % due to:
1) Wars are only 15v15 (sometimes 20v20)
2) Every single person attacks twice, bar the bottom few who just make up the numbers
3) We never waste attacks by attacking our opposite number. Reason I say waste is that this sometimes forces someone to attack a base they have no clue against. Instead we push that everyone attacks a base they think they can 3 star first, if they succeed they attack higher up second, if they fail they attack lower.
4) We are mainly all th8s with a few th9s and one th10 so every war we almost clear every base apart from 1/2/3 bases near the top. I expect our win % to drop as more of us move to TH9 but we'll see.
I'm a lowish th9 myself and find it v easy to 2 star other th9s but atm I don't have the troops to go for 3 stars on decent th9 bases. I agree with Judgeneo above that hybrid attacks are the way to go for 3 stars when you have high or max level th9 troops.

Yeah just wait until you get more TH9 and TH10s, progress seems to slow somewhat when you get up there. We did some smaller wars (10v10 and 15v15) with 1 TH10, a couple of TH9s, and the rest TH8s and won almost all of them.
