FatMcK 137 Report post Posted May 18, 2019 Lets talk about crew slots. The crew slot system we have is not really intuitive for more then one reason. I guess I’m not the only that assigned several vehicles to crews to realize later that you have conflicts when trying to build a lineup. When I began to play tanks at the release of the open beta I didn’t put much thoughts into the crew system and assigned all my tanks to the first three crew slots which seemed reasonable cause in arcade we could and still can only use a maximum of three tanks per battle. But when I learned that more then three crew slots have the advantage of more choices depending on the map and how the battle goes on I got more crew slots and reassigned some of the tanks to another crew slots. This was the first time I relaized how expensive the crews actually are when you want to have them all at lease at expert level. It was and is even worse for ace crews when you realize the real money you invested for better crews are now wasted when reasigning a vehicle to another crew. I learned to be more careful and started to thought about assigning tanks to crew slots for several vehicles in advance to not waste lions, eagles and xp (for ace discounts). But then whenever new vehicles get added to the game or battle ratings get rearranged every thought in advance got screwed several times. Also switching to RB some month ago showed me that my AB based crew selection didn’t worked on some BR’s. When you than start to mix planes and ships into this it could give you headache .. I can’t even estimate how many lions, eagles and ace xp I wasted cause of that but for unknown reason it never really bothered me. Well, untill now. I wanted to try the new world war mode. But the allowed vehicles per battle showed me that my german vehicle selection on crews is probably the ultimate unlucky selection possible. All the allowed german vehicles for each battle are distributed on my crews 2 to 4 while I generally have my overall tanks distributed for slots 1 to 7. So for world war mode I’m currently very restricted on possible lineups untill I decide to rearrange my crew slots once more on a big scale. But it would take huge amounts of SL which is probably the hardest to earn thing in the game. So now I am bothered with the crew system and think it needs a complete overhaul. I needs to be much more intuitive and userfriendly and give us the option to optimize our lineups without spending endless amounts of SL and GE. What do you think? magazine2 (Posted May 19, 2019) Moved to F.A.Q and Tutorials. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not brain surgery, but you do have to do a little planning. It is a strategy game, so this is part of it. You don't expect GJ to hold your hand.

Praevasc 237 Report post Posted May 24, 2019 It's still better than many similar games where - you have limited garage/hangar slots and cannot buy more vehicles without spending real money or selling your existing vehicles. - you have to buy new crew, and train your crew skills from zero for each and every vehicle you own.
