Multicrew General

It is only possible for two Players to Multicrew a vehicle. Such Vehicles would be all Armoured Vehicles, Boats and Aircraft (have more than 1 position/not single seated airplanes).
The positions are not interchangeable, the player who initiates the Multicrew (Request Crew) would be the driver (Position 1) and the Hull Gunner (Position 4) if Hull Gunner available and the Player who joins the Vehicle (Join Vehicle) would be the Gunner (Position 3) and Commander (Position 2).

Multicrew Vehicle Types

Vehicles types Armour, Aircraft and Ships have different multicrew positions and will be defined here.

Armour

Most Armour have the same Position types: Driver, Gunner, Commander and in some cases Hull Gunner.
The Commander of the Multicrew would hold positions 1 (Driver) and 4 (Hull Gunner), the Multicrew Crewman would hold positions 2 (Commander) and 3 (Gunner).

Aircraft

Like Armour, Aircraft have the same Position Types: Pilot, Bombardier and Air Gunner. The Commander of the Multicrew would hold positions 1 (Pilot), while the Multicrew Crewman would hold positions 2 (Bombardier) and 3 (Air Gunner).

Ships/Boats

Ships and Boats unlike Armour/Aircraft are a little different when multicrewing. The multicrew Commander will always be the helmsman (Position 1) but can also hold other positions for example Anti-Air Gunner or Torpedo Launcher Controller.

Creating a Multicrew

There are actions to be made by both players to join crews. For simplicity I will run it a logical format from each players perspective.

  • Player 1- Selects the vehicle to be used from the Ready Room, Click on the Vehicle you want and one time click "Select Weapon".
Select Weapon
























  • Player 1- This would bring you to the page seen below, you can then click on Request Crew (Multicrew)

  • Player 1- You would then wait at the next page "Select a Crewman", this would populate with Player 2 Gamename once he has completed his selections.

  • Player 2 from the Ready Room does not select a vehicle, simply selects "Join Vehicle (Multicrew)".

  • Player 2- If Player 1 has completed his selection of Vehicle and clicked "Select a Crewman" then Player 1 name and Vehicle would populate in the list. Player 2 would then select the name and click "Select Commander". Nothing would happen for Player 2 until Player 1 completes the selection.

  • Player 1 would now see Player 2 name in his list and click on the button "Select Crew"

  • Player 1 would now see the following below, notice the "Enter World" Button is Green.

  • Player 2 would then see a Dialogue Box "Crew Join Accepted" clicking OK would then show the follow below notice he cannot select "Enter World" as its greyed out. At this stage once Player 1 selects Enter World they would both enter the game.
