WoT Supertest – Crew 2.0 Important Info

~ Sebastianul ~ 76 Comments

According to preliminary info from wotclue, the Crew 2.0 is not working so smoothly and there are many questions in general about the new crew. Quoting them directly:

Just today, we received information about the Crew 2.0 Supertest in World of Tanks from our insiders in Cyprus. Closed testing of this feature is in full swing right now.

According to the preliminary examination of the information received, the Crew 2.0 is not so smooth and there are many questions in general about the expediency of this approach, as well as the completeness of the entire structure of Crew 2.0.

The source himself reports, quote: “I do not know what ***** came up with this, but as the players correctly note — this is an attempt to remake what is now already working quite OK, and as a result, the players will suffer as always. Well, it’s also an attempt to push new things to suck money/time out of players and impose a worthless new interface. And they (developers) face a lot of challenges due to the new crew that interacts simply with everything in the game. So at the release, wait again for a sea of bugs; yes, everything is already decided there, the Crew 2.0, regardless of the opinions of the players, will be released.”

Next, we will show some details that may occur and express our own opinion and the opinion of our interlocutor (who provided the information) on this innovation, which should be tested in the sandbox at the beginning of this year.

The current crew will not be automatically converted to Crew 2.0. This will have to be done manually by clicking on the “Convert Crew” button under all tankers. You don’t need to do this, but then old perks will not work for you except for the light bulb. The light bulb will be available to all by default and will not require crew skill points.

Romanian Tech Tree in World of Tanks – 2021 Proposal – Part 2: Light-Medium-Heavy Tank Branch – by davidblader

Part 1 – https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2021/01/04/romanian-tech-tree-2021/

Hello, everyone!

Welcome to part 2 of the 2021 Romanian tech tree proposal!
Part 1 has received very positive feedback, so I was very happy to make the second article. Big thanks to all of you for the support! It’s highly appreciated! 🙂

The old tech tree that I used in part 1. Click here for full quality.

The version 2.0 tree I am using for part 2. For full quality, see here.

Please read part 1 if you haven’t already, since it covers important general information about the tech tree (such as historical accuracy, vehicle originality, etc.), as well as the tank destroyer branch.

As you can see, I’ve made an improved tech tree version (’’version 2.0’’). That’s because in the meantime, I’ve come up with a better idea for the high tiers, which gets the tech tree rid of its old problems. Many thanks to tanks-encyclopedia.com’s member Doom_Pyramid for providing me with archive information about the high tier mediums!

In this article, I will first use the format of the old tech tree. At the end, I will compare it to the version 2.0 tech tree to show you why the latter would work better.

Medium tank branch

This time we’ll take a look at the medium tank branch Romania could get in World of Tanks. Romanian heavy tanks are also possible, stay tuned to see how.

The Romanian MT line contains many historically important vehicles which were not only mass produced, but also saw action during World War 2 and Cold War events. It also contains some proposed designs as well as a tank reconstructed from historical possibilities, which was mentioned in a book, the R-4 (more about it down below).
