Then don’t, simple as.
If you think that’s a sustainable gameplay, then you do you.
It will however be extremely funny seeing people trying to make vehicles such as the flarakrad (or God forbid, the rolands) work at top tier.
rn i play at 10.7 and my mates get the osa with 10.50km range and i have no chance to get an kill in my 2s6 thats just 0.4 BR over it.
on top if you play 12.7 you get the m3buk right so its point and click so why grinding 400k rp

You don’t get the highest BR vehicle in the BR range you are playing in.
At least not if i’ve understood this correctly.

You don’t get your BR ceiling, nor do you get end of line vehicles.
You’ll always get down, not up.
I get you, but atleast some basic modifications should be given, like parts and fpe.
I understand the mechanic you’re trying to imply, but this is the worst way to add it, the vehicle’s should have atleast some basic mods, fpe and parts are crucial, most people would avoid these vehicles as they lack parts.

Fully agree with the essential modifications, the free vehicles should at least come with parts, FPE and a dart (doesn’t have to be the best dart, just not HEATFS). For the highest BR matches then thermals should also be there but maybe not for the lower end, not sure. Also uncertain about Laser range finder since darts have a very flat trajectory to begin with so not that essential compared to the other things.
I fully get not giving spaded vehicles and aced crews but having flat out stock and lvl 1 crew is likely going to make spawning those vehicles a bad option due to it giving the enemy better chances of winning by having easier targets to drain tickets with.

Yes, I agree with this, but bare minimums are there, at least a level 50 crew, depending on the rank, they should get some essential parts, lrf is kind of important in higher tiers since the maps tend to be larger, and not everyone has godly aim, so its best if gaijin can rework this mechanic and listen to the players.
Instead - the game could have had punishment for game abandonment.
If you read this forum and other SM platforms long enough you will see how many people that are capable of staying for the match but leave cause they do not like how the match started / paired with a certain nation / content creator trying to get a specific game / salty cause someone took a kill.
I have started looking at the accounts that abandon match and as many of them are level 100 accounts as they are new premium players. I should actually do a chart on this from a single perspective.
In my opinion the introduced method is a wet bandage on a rotten wound.
this is a bad idea, not many premium players have multiple vehicles, I doubt they’ll add something that hurts their premium playerbase.
At least provide us with the option to disable this feature, including the Navy.

I agree.
The current implementation isn’t really an incentive to stay in the game. Why would I use a tank with no parts, a heat round and level 1 crew when I can just join another game with my premium in 30 seconds?
Good idea but executed terribly sadly.
3 permanent back ups can help a lot more better with a random SPAA/SAM extra vehicle instead. I say SPAA since they require the least Modifications to make them work against CAS. Default ammunition is plenty enough.
The route they took was a nice attempt but it isn’t a good one.
Sooooo many other games has done this and it has not affected the player count at all. So many games give you 30 minutes to 60 minutes cooldown before you can join a match again.
If case study in other games have proven that it works (including F2P games) then why would it not work here?
In my opinion this change isn’t affecting a whole lot of players, due to the inherent reasons why people leave after a single death.
If you don’t like your team, map, mode or whatever, that free vehicle won’t really make you stay in the game.
If you’re a grinder with a premium vehicle, that free vehicle won’t really make you stay in the game due to no premium bonuses, as you can search for another game in seconds after dying as well.
This seems like an out of touch update.

They should’ve giving you Parts, FPE and the 2nd best Ammo. Crew Level I can understand, not giving other mods is annoying but fine.

Even with that, people would be at a pretty big disadvantage when spawning that free vehicle. Getting a new game can be done in three clicks anyways, so I doubt many will bother with our new crippled additions.
So games top of the head with abandon penalties :

ESO Online BG
Lost Ark PvP
SC 2

Destiny 2 Crucible
Halo Infinite
Tried to keep them somewhat by genre. Pretty sure even WoT is more strict than WT. XP loss, 0 gain on repeated offense. It can even lead to a game ban.
