Yep, totally agree. I’ve stopped rallying in my attacks which has increased my troop losses significantly. If I rally they die from the silo, if I don’t rally they die from everything else.
It seems that most of the people in favour of keeping the silo as it is, talk about it making their base harder to raid, which suggests they have badly designed bases. If you need something as drastic as a missile silo to keep your resources safe then you really need to learn how to build better...
