Vehicle crewing

And then again for every other slot.

A single expert crew for a slot is already going to set you back 1.1 million.

As… I said?

Why would you be switching it throughout crew slots?

Let me guess, are you also going to argue that it’s unfair to have to grind all the crew xp for every crew slot, and that all crews should share the same stats?

So…?

So not everyone has a premium account or vehicle to have bukus of SL flowing in.

Because Gaijin messes with the BRs and the tiers making vehicles no longer fit for a lineup? My Panzer IVs all got reduced to tier ll from my lineup, my 6.7 France lineup is now 7.3, 7.7 and 8.0… my 6.7 German lineup is now split between 7.0 and 6.7… my 8.3 China lineup is now 8.3, 8.7 and 9.0… my 8.7 Japan lineup is now 9.0 and 9.3.

Then not everybody should have an expert crew on their vehicle.

Just as an absolute random point on this, if you save up a heap of SL, and keep a limit on where you drop to before you start rebuilding your stash, you will find you will just do better overall and have better enjoyment.

It’s when you hit rock bottom and are faced with repair costs, whilst trying to unlock a modification, and still having to purchase it and the fresh upgraded rounds that are also now costing you more, that makes the grind a problem.

It’s then when you get frustrated, take risks, and do stupid things to make you be more outraged at the wider situation.

Then you’re only paying a small portion of SL to crew 1-2 tanks?

What does the tier have to do with the lineup effectiveness.

The only French 6.7 tank that was moved was the Char-25T, and that was moved up almost 3 years ago.
Unless you mean the AMX M4 (still 6.7), the new French M26 (new 6.7), the AMX-13 L/57 (still 6.7), the AMX-13 SS.11 (still 6.7) or… Well, there weren’t any other 6.7s…

The 1 and only tank that was moved from 6.7 to 7.0 was the Kugel, and that thing was downright broken for 6.7.
Well, the Ru-251 too, but that was over a year ago and to have 90mm HEAT on that mobile of a platform at that low of a BR was also horrible.

Pray tell, what 8.3 Chinese tanks were moved to 8.7/9.0? The only change I can think of is the ZTZ-88B, and that went from 8.7 to 9.0… It didn’t have a lineup to begin with.

Anyways, I’m done trying to pick apart the whining-for-the-sake-of-it you’re doing, I’ll just say this.

To make a full lineup of <4.0 Panzers, you need ~50-60k SL to make a full lineup.

BR changes can change lineups. It is very annoying when tanks shift around, and then you have to spend several hundred thousand SL to fix it.

IMO, crewing a vehicle should apply to every owned crew, but stuff like expert/ace crews only apply to a specific crew.

Making the crewing system more complicated isn’t something Gaijin is going to do especially if it also removes an SL sink.

A nice idea.

Not if they’re expert.

Tiers affect the ability to do daily tasks, special medals, events and battlepass as well as research effectiveness.

The only French 6.7 tank that was moved was the Char-25T

Over the years a lot of vehicles have moved up, the Lorraine 40t was 6.3 at some point, the AMX-13 was 6.0, AMX-50 6.7 etc.

The 1 and only tank that was moved from 6.7 to 7.0 was the Kugel, and that thing was downright broken for 6.7.

Tiger ll 105, Panther ll and how is a Panzer IV SPAA broken at 6.7, the only difference between that and the Skink at 5.3 is pen, at 7.0 it’s utterly pointless.

Pray tell, what 8.3 Chinese tanks were moved to 8.7/9.0? The only change I can think of is the ZTZ-88B, and that went from 8.7 to 9.0… It didn’t have a lineup to begin with.

WMA was 8.3, PTL02 was 8.3, T-69 ll was 8.3.

Yeah, it’s definitely not you who feels the need to disagree with everyone.
And that’s great for Panzer IVs, they’re also tier ll so obviously they’re cheap… it’s a lot different at higher BRs.
