“Crew on Mission” is by FAR the worst mechanic that War Thunder had in years:
if u crash with ur plane by accident, u get “PL” in mid-battle or u simply crash with something, the game forces u to wait at least 8mins to finally play with ur vehicle again.
it should be completely removed or at least modified to only apply when certain conditions are met, like when u leave the match without even spawning or u teamkill teammates
yeah they should have a system to look at why you crashed like what was your PL was the server dying (most common reason for me)
That would require them to acknowledge the server is ever at fault. As far as Gaijin is concerned, servers rarely screw up and it’s always “your wifi or isp.”
And their legion of dependable white knights will back them up repeating that stupid line.
Because these conditions can’t be abused (or faked) and players will never use a mechanic to get an advantage…right?
MOST players leave matches by their own decision…admitted by themselves on several topics…so the mechanic is required…
I admit that accidental or technical reasons may be different…but i don’t really see a “workload” and “truthful” acceptable way to check…feel free to suggest an idea…
In case not clear…accidental crash requires manual checking…and PL can be faked easily…perhaps the new AI trend can actually help with these…accidents it can for sure…
