Most people think that maxing is good. Running small wars you can learn a lot. We switched to them due to engineering.

Yeah, maxing a permabase is a very bad idea in my mind.

It was about two years ago when someone in the clan I was in said "Are we doing something wrong?" We kept getting a lot more TH9s in war than what we were taking. The TH8s were mirrored vs TH8s. I know it's the overall weight. But it kept happening for about a month. I don't know, it was two years ago. Our three max TH8s were really frustrated. Our TH9s could easily take them out but the 8s were running out of viable attacks early on.

Back then, I never did understand what was wrong. But now I know. Because of being a clan leader and looking more closely at our matches, I came to understand those two max Th8s we were taking were a problem. They belonged to me and my GF so it wasn't hard to get them out of war. I took TH7s to eight and took those two out. Wars matching got much better after that.

This is a very interesting thread. However, I think it's very much a niche issue. Like your comment about maxing being a bad thing. For your specific instance, yeah it's bad. However, in more casual wars, having heavy anchors at each th level has been working for us. Rushed, not carefully planned engineers, clans that we seem to draw have a hard time dipping on us. Maybe supercel has more data than I do but I can't see that perma max bases would be a huge thing.

I would agree it depends on the situation.

We don't get engineers, well we sometimes but rarely, get engineered Th9s that can kill our TH8s. That's it. Engineers are easy to avoid by adding all defenses and keeping a tight range of bases. The last time we got that engineered nine I took a TH7 because we didn't have enough to war with. I could have taken an 8 but we keep ending up with one TH9 less than the other side has. My adding the TH7 just got us two more 9s than we took. Just one war but tight range of bases works best. Some clans can't do that though.

I think a max base is always a bad thing at TH8 or above. Many clans can compensate for it with their other bases. I'd rather not compensate for it. The larger the war gets though, the less damage it does. In a 20vs20 or higher, a max Th8 wouldn't hurt too much. In a 10vs10 war it hurts a lot.

I would prefer TH only myself but I think there would have to be some leeway in that. Otherwise, might never get a match.

That could happen. Recalling Darian's comment that they are already trying to match TH to TH. Most of us, including myself, missed that comment by Darian but Tank Sintra (spelling) pointed it out a couple of weeks ago. They are already trying to do that, at least to some extent. I don't think they could ever do it that way exclusively. Not exact matches.

I've usually only seen the semi-finals and finals in CWL wars so I just see the top clans.

Btw, I am 100% behind the idea of completely removing war weight and basing weight on the town hall only. It would be a bit extreme at first but would solve so many issues long term.
