If your worried about .5 bases your either not very good at war or not too knowledgeable about what a .5 is.
Or a troll I suppose.

I don't know, .5 is really 1/2, which seems round. I don't know how I feel about 3/5...
Nothing needs to be done about .5 bases. When you upgrade your Town Hall you are entitled to build new buildings and upgrade your troops in whatever order you want. Some people max all defenses first, and other people concentrate exclusively on heroes, troops and walls. You can spend your loot where you want.
The exploit lies in doing anything beyond .5. If you have max TH10 troops but your defenses are all at Max TH8 you are taking advantage of the current matchmaker.
Didn't take long for these threads to start popping up again did it? They just nerfed modders, you would think people would give it time to start the nerf brigade once again.
My clan has never had any problems with engineers. We do 15v15 or 20v20 wars most of the time and only have 1 9.5 slowly upgrading his defenses from traps - teslas - cannons but the rest are maxers. We have a 232 W 70 L record which is pretty good. We do however have 3 really strong max th11s that always take care of their 1-6 with ease. Rest is easy clean up for our th9s. So I think every clan really just need strong top end players to deal with any opponent.
I had my defenseless pre clan wars. Wasn't even doing a challenge. I told a friend "I'm on enough to raid all I need to upgrade, why should I build defenses to protect it?" He told me to go for it, so I did. Best move I ever made. With every patch since then Supercell has made me stronger
