Does anyone thinks we need more than maximum of 10 crew slots? Im aware that you can have 11 slots if you invite friend and he actually progresses through the game, but that is something most people wont have.
Sure, 10 slots may seem like good enough, and it is in many cases, but there are BR’s and lineups that are very rich, and if you want to use some SPAA, planes or helis, 10 slots wont be enough.
Gaijin also limits number of presets you can have, so you often cannot create like 2 versions of certain BR bracket, because you already use the preset for something else.
I feel like having at least 12, but even 15 slots would be sufficient and good for the game, even if it meant high GE cost of the 11-15th crew slots. Alternatively, we could pay like half a million SL for new slot.
Your thoughts?
In air realistic you only need 1 crew slot.
In air arcade you cna bring an unlimited amount, but most settle for 3.
For ground arcade, you cant spawn more than 3.
For ground realistic, half of your team will only spawn once or twice. Remaining wont spawn more than 3x. Only a few die hards will spawn 6 times.
I think you cna get up to 5 crew slots with SL. So im not sure if its really neccesary.
My impression of the original post is that it is about getting more choice of vehicles to play in the one battle if you have more crew slots.
(for game modes other than Air RB)
(and I may be wrong :) )
I mean it is very niche request, but I could see where it is coming from.
Personally, I think it is valid simply because of the nature of map rotation and random country assignment to teams.
It could be done in other ways, I guess. For example to be able to swap out vehicles after we see on which map we play and what is the country composition. Let’s say you bring some lineup and during countdown, you could still swap between vehicles that have trained crew for said crew slot, you just have to respect highest br and country you brought into match.
You are right. I like to have all the possible vehicles available in the battle. Ofc I wont use 10 vehicles in one battle, But when there are lets say 12 vehicles on 10.0/10.3 including helis and some CAS, I want to have them all in my lineup.
It is kinda niche request and I totally understand that 99% of players feel like having 5 slots is enough, let alone 10 or 12.
Also, I like your idea, having some kind of “bench” (as in sports terminology) for vehicles you can swap, is interesting concept.
I agree with you, but for me, its about the choice. I wont use even 5 or 6 vehicles in one battle in 99.9% of battles, let alone 10, but having the choice of spawning this heli, or this heli, or that light tank etc. is something that is kinda important for me. Not crucial to enjoy the game, but would still love to see it added.
