However, calculating 100 base weights for a 50 vs 50 war will take even the most basic computer a tiny fraction of a second, negligible processing power and only has to be done once for each clan at the start of their war search
Plus, ALL of your base data is stored on Supercells servers, when war starts, there is no way that your device is contacted for a base weight score (What if you had no WI-FI reception). You could argue that the device of the person starting the war could be used but why bother sending extra network traffic when they aleady have the levels for your most recent base
One more point, if the file was used to calculate the weights, surely the ability to modify the file would mean that you could ♥♥♥♥ your war weight to get easier matcups...?
At best, the file is a developer aid so that the clan wars dev team can modify war weights on the fly for testing purposes without having to mess with server files (I think this is the case and the file may be outdated hence so many people with discrepancies)
At worst, its a red herring that Supercell have purposely planted to put people off the right scent
