Crew Lock + BR Application Match Making

So, I’ve literally noticed today that even with a crew lock on a line up, you are still bound to the Higher BR despite having a Lower BR tank Available.!

In my opinion, when a crew lock occurs, the BR for match making should default to the Highest/Lowest available BR vehicle in your line up otherwise, should one decide to actually play said match, you are potentially 2 BRs in a full up tier.

Has this ever been discussed? Ive looked but only ever “Remove Crew locks”

No, this should not be changed

I agree with you. If you have vehicles crew locked it’s not like you can spawn them into a game you entered. In your case you are only playing a 5.3 vehicle, without access to the 6.0 vehicle I see no reason for the BR to stay at 6.0

Doesn’t matter, since you can’t join a game with that nation while crew locked.

Of course you can, but only with the vehicles which are not locked. And when leavers get the crew lock I see no reason to give them help with BR decrease for the locked vehicles

Huh. I never knew you could take only part of a line up. Of course most of my crewlocks come from faceplanting in ARB, so…
Anyway, I tested it and found the opposite behavior. I got a BR of the valid vehicles not the locked ones.


Peak Gaijin… I guess you get to do a bug report!

Those vehicles are not only crew locked but also are not repaired since you have auto repair turned off. Even if you did not have them crew locked this would happen as you cannot take destroyed/damaged vehicles into a battle.

Only the SU is damaged since I bailed out of a game to test the crew lock. It gave me the option to repair or not. Pic is after I refused repair. but it is still showing 2.0 on the upper BR, but in the actual queue its showing as 1.0. So its a bug any way you split it. Gaijin will get to it around 2030 no doubt.

Did you actually get a match at that br?

It normally should only take the available vehicles into account.

One death leavers like yourself have been discussed, yes.

That is most probably a visual bug. When I have experienced crew locks, the matchmaking BR has always been automatically adjusted to account only for available vehicles. Do you have evidence of joining a match with a higher BR than possible from the available vehicles?

you can join with at least 1 vehicle unlocked. as you can see - Breda is avail.

exactly what happed to me, took out breda, killed 1, died straight after, Plane bomb “hit” and taken out by AA withing seconds after. lol Hence the crew lock lol.

Ha ha ha Thanks for the contribution there…! However your misguided judgment failed in that case.!

But thanks for playing " Guess the wrong scenario and be incorrectly judgmental" on a Saturday night .!

That’s even more enjoyable to hear. A failed CAS adventure resulted in crew lock.

For GRB matchmaking purposes, only vehicle with the highest BR present in the lineup is considered - whenever it is crewlocked or not is irrelevant.

YES it should,!! Why be penalised when you dont have the tanks available!!

Unless you just want the advantage.!

Thats the issue! It should take crew lock into consideration other wise - potential 1.0 against 7.0 in this case.!

well it happens, and Im pretty certain Im not the only one its happened to and has probably happened to you also!! Dont be a noob to deny it!

Why

My brother in Christ you made the lineup
