They could fix: the matchmaking, the request donations bug, sandbagging, and a lot of others bugs. They could invest in better servers. They could give a new general for those who have an AA fort. They could buff the japanese nation... but they decided to ignore the community feedbacks and to "broke" the best part of the game. By removing the fun from war, they will loose a lot of money in the medium/long term. What's next? In the next update they will come out with: "our data showed that more users are playing as british than any other nation, so now british range go down from 5 to 3 to help to balance the game" or maybe they will nerf shooters, howies and HT. I wonder how they will make the game even worst in the updates to come.
-Ps: The noob who came out with the bazooka tower stats probably got a promotion.
