There's been talk in chat regarding alternative attacks to just all out Dragons, it was my favorite attack at th8 but it's not suitable on all bases and we are seeing a lot more of these bases in our wars recently. It seems that most players only use Dragons and get stuck with an alternative to try and 3 star bases. I hope the simple guide below helps you with future attacks and improves our war stats, doing these attacks at th8 will help you when you upgrade to th9.
Don't forget to try and get max troops in your CC to help out. An example of this would be a lvl5 pekka if your doing a Gowipe or lvl6 balloons for balloonion.
Let me know your comments and I can update this post with updated information or other tips.
Types of attacks:
Balloonion
This is my preferred attack when I moved up to th9 but never used it on th8 but it's still very effective if used correctly with rage spells.
Max troops at th8: Lvl5 Balloons, Lvl4 minions and lvl5 rage. Getting balloons to lvl 5 is more important than minions, they are there just to clean up after the balloons.

Hogs
Not something I've ever used because my hogs are only lvl2 but it's a well known attack during wars, but it needs to mastered due to the use of heal spells at the right time and also how to watch out for giant bombs and cc troops. Also need to know what an anti hog base and how to avoid them (Good guide below)
Max troops at th8: Lvl4 hogs and lvl 5 heal spell.
Very good guide, talks about TH8: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3L2TVNgy2M
A very good read for anti hog bases and also explanations on how they work and what to look out for: forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/189297-Ringus-An-Early-Mid-TH9-Farming-Hog-Cleansing-Design
Gowipe
A very good strategy for th9 and 10 but no reason it can't work for th8. This also takes sometime to master due the timing that you need to deploy troops and spells, the last thing you want to see is you Pekkas sodding off around the bases and not to the center.
Max troops at th8: Lvl3 pekka, lvl5 wizard, lvl2 Golem, lvl5 wall breaker and lvl5 rage
