Practice runs on clan-mates?

With clan wars being a very fun thing, alot of my clan is transitioning from farm bases to trophy bases, with this we really have no definitive way of knowing how good a base truly is, until it's attacked. Yes we can eyeball some flaws, but nothing is a better indicator of a flaw than a couple of runs at the base.
Is it possible to implement some sort of scrimmage or test run for clan members to raid a clanmates base. obviously there would be no loot, as this is just meant to "test" their base layout, and of coarse any troops that are used like normal could be disposed of like a normal raid.
in my mind this would also allow a replay to be available to both parties like normal.

EDIT: has been suggested before, but perhaps it deserves another look? if there is nothing to exploit, no trophy or loot gain, and this allows for clans to better prepare for wars, maybe it should be implemented?

This HAS been suggested many times and is ruled out. People would exploit it.

how would people exploit it, if there there is no way to gain loot from it? and actually u would lose loot doing this, since u have to use ur troops in these runs.

Has been suggested numerous of times, yes it would be cool, just don't think it will happen really...(my opinion)

but surely with the introduction of clan wars there is a new need for it? for the benefit of the clan, and the individual, and if we make it so no loot/trophies can be gained, but ur troops are still wasted/used.
it should be something that is all positives, and non-game breaking no?

Find a trophy base and test it out before war is declared.


And if can be exploited by simply having your second account or a friend redesign their base like that base of someone you want to attack. And finding out what army comp works best or where to start your attacks from...if more fun doing a base and seeing the fruits of your labor when it's for real

Unfortunately this sandboxing feature is already being utilised as we saw against our clan in clan wars. As some people are already using methods to do this I think SC will have to consider allowing everyone this option.

good point. i didn't see that, but that is a real issue.

As people are already doing practice runs against bases wouldnt it be fairer if everyone had the opportunity to do so?
