Straight Outta Supertest: Crews Retrain

Hello everyone,

Wotleaks published a supertest leak (unconfirmed for now) that patch 0.9.6 might bring the feature of retraining the crews to another role (eg. from radioman to driver).

Edit: confirmed by another source to be present. It’s possible that WG might not choose to implement it, but it’s there.

    • I was wondering why such simple feature took so long to work on. I mean they were talking aobut it for more than a year and the idea is around for at least 2 .

      Maybe it’s not that simple in BigWorld engine ?

      • I’m pretty sure the reason is that some tanks have e.g. two loaders. Now imagine that you play the tank for 1000 battles, having two elite loaders with tons of skills. Now you sell the tank and move the crew to another vehicle that has only one loader but maybe two gunners.

        In this case you’d have to recruit a “fresh” gunner for money or gold, without any skills or train a gunner on another tank and move that one over (he will miss on the other tank though).

        So basically, WG makes people invest lots of credits/gold by not allowing to retrain roles. It’s not that it took long to work on, it took long to make the big wigs allow it.

    • FK HAVOK … better put this feature into the game… it is much more important then HAVOK

  1. Right on time.
    I have already most tanks and full crews.
    So if I rebuy some IS I can put leftover crew on it.
    Yeeey. -.-

  2. Oh…. that sounds awesome! I will finally use my 4 murrican radio operators with 3 skills. May I will have a whole new crew :3

  3. 3 something years after beta, GG wg. GEE fucking GEE, this should have been in game since forever

    • yep but intentionally left off WOT too do list. Because it was far more important to have shit themed garages and other crap that doesn’t matter IN THE GAME!.

  4. Finally my Medium 1′s crew can be below 25% (You can get a 50 crew form AT-15A even if you don’t have it, and put it into Med 1, resulting in a 25% crew)! I wonder what the lowest crew % will be then… 12.5%?

  6. Hopefully they will make the 6th sense change at the same time. So the radio men will be useful.

    • They will wait first few months, so people can spend some gold to retrain radiomen into commanders for the purpose of 6th sense..

  7. Yeah, ofc it would be a Game-Breaking-Factor if one could e.g. retrain a Radioman as a Driver. I ask for this since Years now, cos why should a Crewmember not beeing able learning to drive, if he can fucking cable..?! Totally makes sense… -.-

  8. It’s about f**ing time!!
    Let the World of Radiomen begin!
    At least I will have now several RU and US tanks with good crews and 3 kilometer radio range ;-P
