Remove crew lock

the system of crew lock is outdated and needs to be removed my reasons being.

  1. spawning into a already lost match is no fun and unrewarding in both productivity and me liking the game after the match that i was forced to stay in.
    2 its a very bad system for the player in regards of getting kicked from a match early and being punished for it
    3 its outdated and doesn’t solve the core issue of players leaving early my main reason of leaving early is getting bad maps and getting the same maps over and over again and the lack of cover is spawn for most maps so why spawn when I’m going to get killed after my spawn protection runs out because the spawns are in the open(on like 70% of the maps in this game this game has horrible maps for spawns)
    4 this system does not promote to me to stay in longer all it does is make me only bring one vehicle instead of multiple
    5 the inconsistency of this game does not allow this system to do any good and only hurts the game
    6 it is unreasonable to take away the players vehicle that they have worked for possibly for months or have purchased it only makes the player resent the game for however long there crew lock is

I’m a ODL kind of player because I know a defeat match from a winning one, that’s why I mostly bring one single vehicle,

The 3rd point you mentioned actually would increase the numbers of ODL players, no penalty means more empty matches.

Crew Lock is a way to prevent ODL, if you remove it completely few matches will be unprofitable for the players, less players means less kills, which means less rewards.

I’m also ODL if I get maps I don’t like, and occasionally stayed and respawn for matches that I think we could win, the crew lock doesn’t really prevent me from ODL at this point, I would still bring 10 vehicles to the match and leave after one death or even no death and switch to play other nations lol

Yes, a topic to consider: if the player has similar lineup in other nations he wants to play.

I believe by removing the crew lock also improves the matchmaking time one way or another, since some players only have one nation researched, they will immediately find another match if it weren’t for the crew lock cool down, in the end I think crew lock actually do more harm than good, if they give me sun city I could just leave without hesitation these days.
