They come up with second premium account... I will be always amazed how they can monetize this game even more. Truly admiring.

[leosalonen]

I quite liked having a crew with 3-5 skills being close to optimal but as a light tank enjoyer this update to the crews looks like you can never have a fully functional crew unless you get a press account.

balance the mm and the broken reward tanks instead.

[Haglar]

Pay money and you can essentially have unlimited bonds by just moving your equipment around to whatever tank you play...extremely poor changes going under the radar because of big flashy random events that make the average player go "oooh ahhhh"

I am really worried about the crew system and the WOT Plus subscription. It will only make the game more pay to win and hurt newer players.

[DOLearninkitin]

Don't let some of the good things here discount the fact that some people have grinded for playable crews for multiple years. This update, if WG doesn't reset the crew skills automatically after patch hits live, will be the biggest gold sink ever in this game. Playing competetively will not be possible without some of the crew skills that you can't get without resetting, which is the literal definition of pay-to-win.

12 re-sets, I have spent 10 years building a crew! going to need about 2500 resets

[paganizertube]

In my 35+ years of gaming I have never seen a gaming company be more dedicated to emptying the wallets of their players. Pay-to-win is the name of the game here.

12 Retraining papers, for my 50 tanks with around 200 crew memebers thanks a lot!!!! now ill have to spend 100 dollars instead of 105 dollars to just retrain the rest.

Edit*
Wg needs to decrese the xp requirement for crew, i feel like back then 3 peeks was ok, now i have 6 perk crew and i feel like it isnt enough.

[thacerot]

This new crew system will destroy the game, how can you be competitive when there's going to be chieftains and 279es with 10 skills crews making then even more broken?

WG never fails to disappoint with how fast theyre killing this game.

[stipe]

Man they saw how Rockstar milks gta online and took inspiration, WG great company always looking to find new ways of making money

[daveirich]

BZ-176
Most played of common released tanks
Highest WN8 of common released tanks
Highest win rate of common released tanks
2nd highest DPG (after Skoda T56) of common released tanks
2nd highest number of kills (after Skoda T56) of common released tanks
Joint top DMG ratio (with Skoda T56) of common released tanks
Top Kill Death ratio of common released tanks
Highest survival rate of common released tanks

The tank is clearly overperforming. I look forward to you rebalancing it.

[ba-oomn]

dont give us retraining orders, give us FREE crewskill RESET for EVERY CREW SKILL AND MEMBER

[Labramcems]

As we think the game is in its worst position WG manages to show us something worse. Now that's impressive!

[e_Moses]

This might actually be the worst patch in WoT's history and they are labeling it as a minor patch. What a joke.

[jasper]

So basically looking at the new perks almost all of them are mandatory to have to stay competitive. This means the gap between casuals and dedicated players will be even bigger because I don't have the time to train a 8 perk crew. I have played this game for 10 years and my biggest crew is 7 perks. My opinion very bad

[Scytian]

So now WoT subscriptions cost more than proper MMO game subscription and you still need to spend more money on top of that to stay competetive. GEAT! That's what WoT needed the most - balancing broken rewards and premium tanks is not needed at all /s

[robinkhn]

"WoT Plus subscription" - How much more p2w do you want in the game?
WG: "Yes."

I came back to wot after a year and this is what I come back to, honestly shame on you wargaming. People will eventually realize they are just being exploited for money and leave, if you even care about your game try to improve it and fix the problems that the community points out. Stop doing these things before you ruin the game we all love.
