hence why I said it should be expanded, as an incentive to stop unsportsmanlike behaviour.
I never leave a good fair and correctly working game unless i am off to work. If I am forced to bail early and my crew is locked I have to turn off or play another game,is that what Gaijin want? Players leaving WT because of crew lock ? Crew lock also works after two deaths as well ,been crew locked after a long time in the game

Games are that short anyway

If they expanded it, the player base would plummet, people would play one game, get crew locked entirely and say screw this and go play another game, then you could enjoy long que times, more BR compression do to lower player base and less fair matches. You are literately asking gaijin to make the game worse. You are special.
They literally wouldnt. Just play the full lineup and you dont get crew locked.
I bet you’d find that just as many people do leave because the game isnt fun due to one death leavers making most games nothing but one sided routes as they would because they suddenly got punished for doing the one death leaving.
I have at least as much evidence to back up that claim as you do for yours (that being practically none)

lol, I am proof, as well as a large majority of my clan, we will run one vehicle and leave after one death if the match is lost, or we hate the map, full up-tier if trying to spade a vehicle. if we did bring a full line up, just go to another nation and play that for a round and come back to what we are working on, Gaijin would literately have to crew lock all nations and all crew slots, and that would make people stop playing, for the day at least after there first crew lock, I know I would. Locking crews out if someone leaves a match early actually forces you to play one death leave for your next match, as all your crew slots but one are lock, it literately encourages one death leaving.

I don’t understand you playstyle because you lose/died or hate the map you quit the game but if you team win the battle how do you contribute anything at all because you only bring one verhicle into battle.

I bring one vehicle in sometimes, other times a full line up, but I won’t respawn after one death if my team is losing badly, we’re being spawn camped, or if I’m in a full up-tier while trying to spade a tank, also if I hate the map. but the ironic part is if I leave and I have brought a full line up, I am now crew locked for those other crews for the next match, hence the game is forcing to me one death leave another match. This is why a lot of players will only bring one tank as they don’t feel like dealing with crew lock.

Looks like we found the dead horse
I am not a one death leaver but I totally support your view on this.
For whatever reason you odl, you already position yourself at a disadvantage doing so, you shoot yourself in the foot.
It doesnt need any more penalty bc it becomes disuasive to play at all.
Let players learn from their mistakes and set their line ups as they gain xp.
Players advocating crew lock are sadists.
And for the “gnagnagna I cannot win because they odl gnagnagna” : ODLs are in both teams.

Let everyone play how they want to. If you aren’t required to be skilled, experienced, high scoring, cooperative, or friendly, why is there any requirement at all? It’s perfectly OK for me to spawn a sturmtiger in a 12.0 match and try to blindfire kills all game and I’m effectively doing the same thing as a ODL (if not worse). It’s just a game, I don’t want good players trying to make bad players leave nor do I want bad players trying to make good ones stay.

Point being if a max of 8 minutes wait is an issue for people then… learn patience, it is only 8 mins and there are 10 nations to switch between.
Odd that as the overall population increased the level of play has nose dived.

Can’t blame that all on ODL or crew lock, new players is the reason for higher population that lack skill or experience, also the recent sales
Just ran into another one of my favorite issues… Chasing an enemy plane, packet loss occurs, My plane does a complete 180, dives straight into the ground, and I get crew locked. Air RB. You’re only allowed to bring one plane.
So… anyways, I see this discussion went way far afield of what my original post was actually about.
These needless crew locks, for which I’m constantly finding myself being subjected to, simply have to stop. There’s nothing going on, other than the game is bugging out / servers are going down.
I fail, in either instance to see how anything “wrong” was done. I can not control the WT servers. My ping is regularly 29ms, I pay for a business line, and my networks hasn’t gone down in 2 years? (roughly) I don’t have connection issues, unless servers have issues, put quite plainly.
My playstyle is to do the best I can, it changes nothing, one vehicle or more. I regularly run 6-8 vehicles in my line ups. Packet loss, is not an acceptable reason for a crew-lock. I don’t J out when I’m about to be shot, or crash drone into the ground like some players do. Not my thing. I’m giving it 100%, win or lose.
You missed the entire point of the issue and changed it into something else entirely. I get you don’t like players using one vehicle, in most of my games, one vehicle or not (rare I only bring one) I can average 3-6 kills. If my team loses a game, when I’m 6-1, that’s not really a ME issue, is it? Sounds like copium.

Is it a bug or a feature, that if u have a lineup of 5 tanks and u leave after the first dead within the first minutes of a game, only that nation gets locked and only all tanks but the one i used? When i go instandly again into battle, with only that tank and do the same again, i get 0 penalty at all, as my only tank is ready for the next battle… also all other nations are ready, so whats the penalty then for leaving? Why building full lineups? Why using backups? Makes no sense. The most Points you get are usually in the first few minutes. U go on your favourite position, shot 3-4 guys down, die and do the same again in the next battle. Fasted way to grind by miles.
Is that supposed to be like that? It feels like there is a punishment system in place, but it only punishes player that have a full lineup, not the one who dosnt care and leave instandly on first dead.
Did someone ever made a Bug report of it? Seems really bugged.
