Can we get old simple UI pleas?

Idk is it just me or what, but I would really like to get old UI back. Expeciali for crew skills. Why does it now take up so much screen ??? I get you want more gimmicks in War thunder, and that you want to show your modeling department strength. But could you for love of god at least allow us chose what to see/ use as UI ?

I get what they wanted to do, trying to illustrate which skill affects what part and which crewmember.
The problem is, you have to constantly look in the right upper corner.
For me, who is used to the old system, I find the new one kinda hard to read, even if the skills themself haven’t changed.
The Vehicle takes unnecessarily too much space, and you can’t switch between all the different vehicle types Ground, Air, Naval, Helicopter

Could you please give us a toggle to show the vehicle or not? So the crew skill windows can be centred. Then it could be made even better UI wise because, right now, for me, it’s hard to read.

P.S. I would love a rework of the crew skills in general, but that’s not the topic of that thread

Edit: In Dollarplays newest video, he has the exact same issue(s)

ngl. the new crew skill screen is better. other than not being able to switch vehicle type youre putting points to unless you put a vehicle of that type on the slot.

It’s ok, personal preference . . . just take some getting used to . . but who even asked for this??

Unless this is a way lighter/less intrusive version that does not tax the game’s system,
just why?? This continual need to change things in the UI, if only for the sake of change
just isn’t very good. All I see it do is upset players(some more than others) but it doesn’t
make the game any better the majority of the time(Still waiting for player card to be fixed
as promised)

But the inability to toggle between the 3 vehicle types . . . yeah that totally kills it for me.

I have almost every slot maxed in air(all nations but Israel), I fly far more than anything else.
I “used to” regularly go thru my slots in ANY preset and add crew points to
the tanks and/or naval crew for each slot.
I have 8 slots for RU, all 8 are maxed in all 3 vehicle types.
I have been trying to work up the other nations as well, but now . . .
very problematic . . . we really need a toggle. I cannot understand how it
was even left out in the first place.

Yes, it was a very old feature, maybe even “dated” . . . but the new one is just more
of the same thing(well not more . . lol) with a new wrapper
