1. The wording states that it's changing but not reducing them down to only one commander, and Remember that you can make all your Female crew members commanders for different tanks. Sisterhood of Steel and BrotherHood both work together now.
2. At this time there isn't any concrete information about skins being removed from your crew, as it's not mentioned below.
3. Yes they say that you will get the equivalent of training/xp when the change happens.
More accurate information to come the closer we approach to Crew 2.0 coming live.
The new year brings a fundamental change to the crew concept. Its core hasn’t changed for years, limiting itself merely to some minor updates and features (Crew Skins, Crew Books, etc.). World of Tanks is constantly evolving, so the time has come to rethink our vision of the crew concept.
1.Next year, we'll introduce the brand-new Crew 2.0. All crew unit members will have a common progression, so interacting with them will be more convenient than with individual tankers.
We are also completely redesigning the perks system. The number of available perks will increase to 25, and the crew members training system will change too. You will be able to:
Choose in which direction to develop the commander's skills.
Create multiple crew configurations for each vehicle, depending on your gameplay style, which will affect its performance in battle.
3. Once we introduce Crew 2.0, you can convert the accumulated experience of all existing crew members and direct it to train the new ones. You’ll be able to deploy them in battle instantly, without missing a beat!
It may sound complex now, but we’ll be introducing the revamped crew concept step by step, so it will be easy for everyone to understand and to take advantage of all the new mechanics. Rest assured that you won’t lose any of your progress and hard work! The whole scope of potential changes is still under active development, so stay tuned for more news.
Hopefully this post clarifies things and doesn't shake up your sno-globe causing more confusion.
Question - is this a developers take on the game or was there any input from the player base? God help us if there was any feedback wanted from the people who play this daily?
