When a game looks bad you can always get X6 kills with your PE -8 lol …so stick around.

A one death leaver is getting crew locked out? Sounds like the system is working fine. Honestly it sounds like its working even better than it normally does if its also locking the tank that you played.
They seem to have changed to this new forum because they couldnt be bothered moderating anymore or something. They seem to just be relying on the auto flagging system which obviously is not going to work.
Quality of discussions went into the toilet pretty quickly.
Yeah I know, this is off topic too, sorry lol.

The format is terrible.Hard to even see the original topic and the screen is dancing around while i’m typing.Can’t merge and cant delete. What was the OP again? lol
Just got my Strv 122A. Been playing fairly steady last few days, pumped to play this tank. Joined a game this morning, random ground realistic, which loaded up very slow. One of those server issues…
Me and my single teammate ran to cap A and B. I capped B and an enemy spawned in, got the drop on me and killed me. I’m currently using a single crew for grinding out this tank, and clicked to return to hanger. My only possible option (except drone, but I don’t use those) I got back to hanger with a full 6 minute crew-lock.
I have a currently negative review of the game. For crew lock issues. These issues persist, even though this was a secondary system added to supposedly “help” other issues… folks, respectfully, if you do a thing to fix a thing and it creates another problem, it’s not a net positive. You’re not helping, it fixes nothing and penalizes people like me, who did nothing wrong, I’m only playing normally. This is a continuing issue. After 12 years of playing, I’m simply not going to drop this. I’m doing nothing wrong and have never cheated or taken advantage of any game mechanic. My stats should reflect a very mediocre player, who obviously hasn’t been doing anything fishy. I have more respect than to do funny business in games.
I’m a grown up person. Gaijin, time to grow up. I’ve given you money and thousands of hours of investment. Is this really how you would treat a loyal player? If this isn’t resolved, then it’s obviously yes. I can think nothing else, if the issue isn’t resolved. After all this time, we’ve seen these penalties increase in nature and number.
I get crew locked for literally no reason, scouting doesn’t work, even if you shoot and hit then scout (target in wide open field), and we get a penalty for the scout not working!? What’s next? Everything seems to be trending 60-40 negative to positive. It’s easier to “get in trouble” in this game, than it is to just simply play it. I’m already paying repairs, buying premium account time, like just playing the game becomes a chore / expense. Where’s the part where the game is to be functionally enjoyable? (slightly sarcastic) I don’t mind losing a vehicle. I don’t mind losing a match. Don’t rub my nose in it though.
I’m having trouble featuring what the point of any of this is. After a few thousand hours, less than half of which are from steam, more than 11 years of playing your games, dating back to even Wings of prey… c’mon guys. Grow up. Fix your problems and move on. Disrespecting players is becoming tragically common and very casual. Be better. Do better.
Fix your crew-lock mechanic, or remove it.
Fix scouting, or remove it.
Why can’t we shoot through passenger vehicles anymore?
Finish the animations of battle chests being opened, BEFORE entering the next match. Or don’t have them auto open when clicking “to battle”. Common sense stuff guys.
Basically a rant, but I did give them a solution that solves their main issue even though I do not agree with said practice (as in OP using 1 vehicle lineups, I used to 1DL a lot but I always have a big lineup jusf incase).

You did offer a workaround ,fairplay .Yes it is a rant but it is justified.Just the same old issues destroying what could be a good game.
Mixed BR destroying the game,Out of era match ups making a mockery of realism in other areas of the game,Silly crew lock punishments for being a naughty boy and so it goes on and on.I have been off this page for a long time and the same old issues remain and for every step forward there is a step backwards.The game still dances to the tune of the same whiny kids who love to kill but can’t take getting killed.
If you want to leave early leave.If some guy half way across the map from me bugs out early what do I care? I can face one enemy or four at any point in the game or I can up face to face with the a tank a whole BR above me.There is no fair in WT,that is the bottom line so scrap crew lock.
Crew lock serves no purpose.
I run a full line-up most of the time and will still 1DL as I see fit.
I can either just eat the crew lock and change nation, or spawn and J out till I’m out of SP, or just turn the game off outright.
There’s also always just running a single vehicle line-up.

If you only run one nation then there is little to do than turn off outright.Why would Gaijin advocate that?
It is likely that most who find themselves crew locked are already angry and frustrated with War thunder so why push players further?
Why not just like air have line ups for arcade and single for realistic
Clearly laid out the exact cause of 1 death leaving, the exact reasons why the design incentivizes it, and you just completely ignore all of it, to keep blaming players for having fun in a vireo game for fun. Okay bro. Thanks for reminding me why I shouldn’t have clicked “view hidden content” again. Best of luck with changing all of human nature instead of fixing one game feature in an hour, that obviously causes the entire issue.
That’s just an opinion on why it happens, but you more lean toward excusing it…
Which it shouldn’t be because it’s impacting other peoples matches, for the selfish reasons listed.
And your subsequent throwback on me, along with the ‘good luck in changing human nature’ is just bad faith arguing…
I should’ve called you out more about you accusing me of lying, because really, you are just that sort of person.

It is not though. The topic was that due to the player being knocked out early they left the match and were given crewlock. Backups are not mentioned even if it might solve the OPs “problem”, as does the solution of using one low rank plane to just spawn to land and burn out all SP so removing crew lock.
I really do wonder why people are missing this, or is it intentional just to argue? I mean, you don’t currently play the mode the topic is related to.
Edit: and all might note the OP wasn’t actually interested in their own topic.
Crew Lock is a garbage mechanic and needs to be removed completely, it doesn’t need fixing, it just needs to be removed completely.

Odl is in the design of the game. There is no rule that says you must supply more than 1 vehicle. I dont even understand why there is a punishment for leaving with a full line up when you can leave with empty crew.
Realy looks like gaijin have not put any thought to the process at all apart from selling crew slots for GE.
I could have a line up send all my crew on holiday apart from 1, ODL then ģo to next match no problem or even join another game mode.
Dont blame the players its gaijins fault. The game is so broken i would suggest doing what works for you
I’m not blaming the players, I’m saying crew lock as a mechanic needs to be removed.

No, it needs to be expanded and include locking all your lineups including the vehicle you left in.
Im sick of every game being over in 5 minutes because 2/3 of both teams left immediately after dying once.
you’re the one doing the crying, crew locks don’t effect me
Get rid of crew lock ,why have something in a game that stops people playing it?

by your remarks, they do, something about 2/3 of your teams leaving after one death, which crew lock promotes by the way, put one vehicle in your crew slot, when you die, leave and jump into cue again with zero penalty, if crew lock didn’t exist, people would have full line ups instead, if they wanted to respawn they could, but seeing as crew lock is a thing, people only bring one vehicle to a match, it’s the only viable work around to the crew lock mechanic in game, get rid of it, more people might be around after their first death, leave it in, and people will have to accept 1 death leavers as a part of the game.
