This has been the #1 requested item for how long now? Yes, there are those who say they're so innacurate that there's no point. While I can understand that thought process, I say those people can feel free not to view the innacurate replays.
I'll take the same replays we have for raids. While knowing what happened in an individual war attack with 100% accuracy is the impossible dream we'd all like; I think a lot can be gleened from patterns of deployment, defensive building synergy, tactics and extra troops used etc. Most of these should be accurate even with the current system, as the butterfly effect doesn't kick in until troops start moving. Even innacurate replays can show you common patterns and angles.
Sharable replays are a must too. Make them unavailable until war's end to discourage posting people's trap layouts. Some people are visual learners, and let's be honest, the game's chat leaves a lot to be desired anyway. I could spend ten minutes typing out a strategy that would take up 20 messages in chat, or someone can watch a 2-3 minute replay.
In short, there is no reason not to have replays, even the questionable ones we have now. And the lack of a simple battle log in wars after all this time is apalling.
It's a great game, with a dedicated and colorful community, but it could be so much better. Stop me if you've heard that one before. Anyway, thanks for the countless hours of entertainment, and here's to many more. With a few quality of life improvements hopefully.
