That's not the problem, our strategy is usually to disperse in random locations in the enemy kingdom, farm resources in small quantities without using all of our troops. 

While I understand smaller clans can have an advantage and that it is unfeasible to spend over 160 000 gold coins on relocation scrolls to kill 80 players scattered across different locations, many players are unable to get shielded in time or don't have the gold. Also you can only hold so many troops as reinforcement at a low level.

The problem isn't the mechanic behind shielding or learning over time as there are plenty of options and strategies to minimize our losses, in fact the timezone difference is our greatest ally. The problem lies in the gap balance of total influence. These small clans get destroyed by players with insane amount of influence by taking advantage of a flaw in the balancing mechanic of the matchmaking system to siphon ridiculous amount of resources and burn smaller clans to oblivion.

I just think there should be more specific requirements regarding the matchmaking in these CvC. For example clans with less than 5 members that are below level 6 shouldn't be allowed to participate in my opinion. It would purge the large influx of players using alt accounts to hyper-max their income profit as well.

You dont know how this works. Big player 1 upgrade: 20billion points Small player 1 upgrade: 5million points 

Big player builds t7's tons of points small player builds t4 not so much points 

Big player has 20 marches yielding small player 7 Big player kills small players yielders Small attacks big players yielders and die 

One 375B player can easily beat a 100 3.75b players with out braking a sweat
