Not the 1st time I see them, it’s kinda pathetic that it’s done at plain sight
level 100 players with +9000 matches

what is the purpose of doing this?

Well, it’s easier to hide your … 🤔 ( thinking a way to not be flagged haha ) hide your “skill enhancer 3rd party software” with bad stats.
Imagine a player with a 20-1 KDr ( 200 000 kills 10 000 deaths), a lot of people will find him suspicious. But with a 35000 kills and 30 000 deaths, looks like a normal player

That doesn’t really make sense, considering that the player is “J-ing out” on a low-tier vehicle. Even if that player is pushing the overall K/D down, other vehicles they are using without legitimate means would still maintain a high K/D.
The most reasonable explanation is that these players keep two low-tier vehicles in their lineup. If the match is a full uptier, the player simply “J’s out” on two vehicles to avoid vehicle locks when exiting the match. This is because, in most matches at the beginning, you only have enough spawn points to spawn twice, assuming you haven’t contributed anything useful yet.

Also reserves and low tiers have no SL price of repair.
So I think that’s the case.
Q. What is the reserve tank for?
A. The reserve tank is for You to cap a zone. At the beginning of the game You are given 450 SP points by default. The cost to spawn reserve tank is 50 SP and caping a zone gives You 200 SP. The fighter with bombs/rockets will cost You less than 600 SP. Even if it somehow will be larger, You will be able to gain it by just simply dying to an enemy or shooting at him.
Q. What about modes/maps that won’t allow me to cap a zone and gain SP? What about times when I won’t be able to get to cap before someoen takes it?
A. And that is the beauty of this tactic! If You don’t have enough SP to spawn in any plane, You can just leave the match to go to another without ever getting crew locked! So enjoy playing on maps/modes/weather that You want, not the one that games forces You to play.

Ok, gonna take that answer for now
hmm? I thought if your vehicle do not sustain any damage by the enemies, killing it means crew lock? because I’ve drove outside of the map in the beginning and couldn’t get back in quick enough and tank blows up, still get slapped with a 8 minutes timer.
Reserve tanks don’t get crew locked.
I bet they have multiple accounts and queue up simultaneously on all of them with opposing nations. That way they are robbing the enemy team of 1 or more players which increases their chance of winning and it also allows them to see the enemy minimap.

Got to be honest that is a good way to get around how trash the crew lock system is

Smurfing. Gaijin won’t admit SBMM, but it certainly is in place in some form. If you bring your stats down, you get paired against lower skilled enemies.
I had a 88% relative position on team at one point and the games became borderline unplayable. Since then I started playing more relaxed and brought my stats down, I finally get paired against normal players again.
With all the cheating still going on this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things, game is in a horrible state really. It is only where it is because nobody else can be bothered to make a new game for such a small niche market and will be actively hindered by Gaijin claiming all sorts of spurious infringements and copyright claims just to slow up and make the process more expensive.

100%. I’m positive that SBMM is in place and affects which nations get put together. When my squad plays US, I see Russia on my team 5% of the time or less, and usually with very few players. But the second we play something else than US, we see Russia and US paired together all the time.
