3.1.2015

Sorry, absolutely nothing new today, posting this here for the sake of continuity. Celebrations in Russia and all that.

Oh right, one thing. It’s completely possible to retrain your American crews to Mammoth, Soviet crews to Arctic Fox and French crews to the 8-bit TD… forgot its name. These are the tanks from the upcoming “8-bit” mode and while they come with crews on their own, it’s possible to use your trained crews for them. After the event is over, the 8-bit crews will be automatically retrained for free to: T110E5 (American), Foch 155 (French) and LTTB (Soviet).

  1. So if i put my M103 crew into Mammoth, i will get free crew retrain (100%) for T110E5 ? Or is it only the crew that comes original to the Mammoth (some special crew)

      • Oh well, i hoped i won’t have to retrain the crew, like with premium tanks, so i’d have a better crew for the M103, which i’m gonna get soon. With double retraining it’s isn’t worth it. So, looks like i’m gonna play TD, and train a better crew for my sealclubber FCM 36, lol.

    • It will be any crew trained for the 8 bit tanks after the event which gets retrained to the relevant tanks. Just sticking a crew in the tank won’t work so no, you can’t get a free retrain like that.

      But if you have finished with the M103 then it could be worth training the crew for the Mammoth, getting some extra skills on them (or at least getting them back to 100%) in the 8 bit mode and then using them in the T110 after the event.

    • Yes. I have a lovely Chaffee crew I’ll probably never use from the Chaffee race mode but I have not researched the Chaffee and have no real intention to.

    • If it works the same way it worked with the M24 Chaffee Sport retrain to the normal M24 Chaffee, then yes. IIRC I didn’t have the Chaffee researched when the crew training swapped.

  2. So does that mean I can use my Foch 155 crew already in the Polar Bear, or will I have to spend Gold to re-train them? If so, nice scam WG. make people spend their Gold or have a double crew for a tank. Why not just use the Premium system, and allow us to transfer the crew(s) for free.

    • that way they wont drain the gold from people and make them buy more

      a shame but its true.

      I’m more itched to the fact that i dont have a 155, and am not even close to it (have yet to buy the AC 46) but it seems i’ll have a crew already.

    • @GWalk71

      No one is making you to spend gold, you can retrain them for credits: going from 90% back up to 100% shouldn’t be much of a problem.

      They do seem to have conveniently scheduled the event for second half of January, when 50% discount for retrain is no longer in effect… :D

  3. I’m still wondering why they havent brought out the karl to serve as a 4th vehicle.

  4. After the event is over, the 8-bit crews will be automatically retrained for free to: T110E5 (American), Foch 155 (French) and LTTB (Soviet).

    Like they retrained the Chaffee crew after a few weeks?

  5. I would really like if someone on the RU forums would ask if WG devs intend to keep their “balancing tier by tier” program in 2015… or if they already dropped the idea

      • Speaking of which – just got my 3rd MoE on the Crommie. Little bastard can be a real beast

  6. GOLD + PREM
    Open World of Warplanes…. get premium day, play some random crap –> get some gold (first one is for 50g…)
    Have fun

    That’s nothing new (it was possible in previous fun modes as well), but it’s indeed worth pointing out as an interesting way to train your crews.
