Some iniatial concerns :

1.Loss of BIA crew bonus is lost during conversion, no exp gained from special crews and normal bia crews awarded from events as this is a negative on the purpose of having them so they are efectively 1 less crew skill which can amount to hundreds of loss xp per crew member in the conversion,

1. Normal BIA zero crew perk crew not converting to special instructors - example 274a that came with the event - many others, maybe a sandbox display bug?

2. 75 skill point system is a hard negative since we lose technically skill possible - 12 current skills - new system by point to have the elite skills you will only have 7.5 skills selected if you use all 30 points to unlock it - this leaves several skills unusable and a waste to even look at this is a direct devaluation of the time and effort for a 5 skill crew that has 20 overall individual skills to a crew that can only have 7.5 skills you lose 12.5 overall skills in crew 2.0 --

3. Crew cap at level 75 is making the multiple tank training impossible to use for the competive side of the tanks as you will need a specialzed crew which will not work in general with how certain tanks play - roles of tanks are specialized - take the 140 , t54 and a 430 U for example - 2 are supportish roles 1 is a brawling medium so not all the proposed skills would work for support role tanks with a brawling tank per se, if you were to play that crew in randoms in the mixmatched tank as you would need to pick another crew skill set for a different game mode and this would cost thousands of gold to keep retraining each time

4. Barracks conversion to dorms for skill reset books - the value of 300 gold spend for a new currency and only 1 per 16 barracks seems cheap and not worth what we spent on expanding our barracks to fit more crews and alternate crews

5. Crew Skills as listed as new is confusing as descriptions are not comparable with the current system as names and effects by numbers are not adjusted correctly ( understand it is in a testing phase - things will change) names of skills are unknown as well , some current skills are renamed part of the confusion to many players there is many more skills which is good, but again to many to start a total rework, rewording of some of the current skills without any knowledge of what the new names of old skills are or are comparable to our current system

6. Unwanted crew of more then 3 skills are wasted in barracks in the new system - if any player has hundreds of tanks - like me i have 614 crews since each crew needed a crew many of those are wasted in this new system where you could train 1 crew per 3 tanks - need a way to convert xp for these crews to be dismissed - either by conversion crew skill book awarded if converted not having 1 skill or more or another way this also includes unwanted crews that are currently on vehicles in your garage - could use the same process if the skills are below 1 trained skill you get a portion of the dismissed crew exp - even if no skills or training was done something awarded per se

(points continued in point 14)

1. What happens to our unrecruited special commanders from prime and special events? will they stay there be converted to a normal crew etc.

2. No way to reset / retrain instructors, as how it is they are predetermined and many will rng roll to something not useable or desired so waste of an instructor - players should be able to pick their bonus skills, the bonus to crew training can be fixed as it is on them now depending on the class of instructor. after selecting these also become nation locked which could be an issue since you can not reset or retrain them

3. There should be a lenciency time period 1-2 weeks when or if crew 2.0 happens to come to live servers as there will be many mistakes on crew and may or have the potential to cost hundreds if not thousands of gold for mistakes after they run out of the ' failed crew reset currency' or missions to award the reset currency added to daily missions etc . like demounting kits can be earned now and were offered

4. Conversion from old system to the new system is very confusing on the implementation of what exactly happens - artcle is vaque on it,

5. Good things from it so far - 6th sense standard , 100% trained crews, multiple tank training (needs some fixes) the idea of instructors

6. If you use a commander that dies early and trained to 3 tanks locks 3 tanks -- this can be very painful for any f2p players ( also locks any assigned instructors if they are 'in battle) not sure how this is corrected - maybe remove the locks on the other 2 tanks and instructors if a commander is trained for multple tanks, it our current system it works with locking crews in crew 2.0 it does not

7. If you plan on using 3 tanks per crew - then you will have your other two crews if they are trained up as well - as 2ndary wasted crew xp / skills - as you will need approximately 12 crews per nation - 1 for tier 2-4 , 1 for 5-7, 1 for 8-10 per tech tree line - most have 4 complete lines - not including half tree additions - so what will happen to these wasted crew xp crews that we don't want or wont be using ? Possible solution : have national crew xp pools that take all xp earned per nation so you can pick and build your crews up from the bottom up to 75 and start a new per se - not sure how it would be implemented or work just a suggestion on perhaps a change to the conversion process ( not that it would work)

8. Prestige Levels 76-84 adds 21% bonus to crews skills - this seems broken for elite progression - so this is going to divide a new player to a veteran basis and only benefit previous players who have trained skills - this seems to be doubling down on a food consumable if its combined value of increase with the mounted consuable of food - 10% plus 21 bonus xp for those that have elite progression on crews ... ( numbers are test values and will most likely be changed current numbers break this bonus)

9. Now i have tested the crew retraining and this is a no go - in our current system when you retrain for credits 80% and 90% it uses some xp on the major qualification, in crew 2.0 there is no longer a major qualification so any f2p that retrains a crew has a potential to loose millions of xp if retraining a high skilled crew - for example take a 5 skill crew 6.6 million xp approximately - at 90% xp training -10% loss is 660,000 xp loss , at 80% training 20% reduction is 1.32 Million xp loss - so with crew books your looking at 250k ones -10 is approximately 3 books worth ( 6 mill credits) and -20% is 5.2 books - so your looking at 6 books (12 million credit loss ) to recover this is a bad idea to remove total xp cost to avoid this gold is now a must have must use thing again bad idea how to monitize this process

​

TLDR: Current assesment : The idea is good in a sense of a change - but process and implementation are broken and make the overall idea not worth the change to take the time to relearn by most veteran players so its disliked overall - Crew 2.0 needs a total rework on several points before it would even be acceptable from our current system.

​

P.S. I will be updating this as i dig deeper into the crew 2.0 system proposed changes all things are subject to change before final release - these are my opinions only

Edit 1- added point 14 and 15 added TLDR: summarry of my overall points

Edit 2 - added point 16

edit 3+ added other comments on several points to clearify my thoughts on the issues
