Where is the reserve?

[Lose_dudes]

I can't find it, want to dismiss some commanders for elite xp.

[Estimated_Prophet]

It’s gone.

Have to do it the hard way now, (one at a time using the assign commander UI of a ship,) unless they patch it sometime soon to reactivate the general accessibility.

But where's the reserve for the nation I got a captain for but don't have a boat in any more? IE you sold the perth or were gifted a 10 point perth captain but never got the boat for some peculiar reason?

Hint: there isn't one, you can't see them without the boat.

So that's where all my Pan-Antarctic commanders are hiding.

No I think the OP is referring to the universal captain reserve we use to have prior to the update. It was a place where we could view all of our captains regardless of nation and even do resets if I recall correctly.

If what they are saying is accurate - you can't see commanders of a nation without at least one ship of that nation in your port - then they best get busy because the deadline for all the skill reworks is coming soon.

There is no longer a "personnel file". You can only see commanders if you have a ship of that nation. No skills can be assigned to a commander who is not assigned to a ship, either (but that is how it was before, as well).

The update of the Commander Skills also aimed at cleaning up the organization of commanders themselves and optimizing the Commanders UI.

The short answer is those commanders for ship lines you currently don't have (if you sold one of your Commonwealth ships) then you will not be able to assign them to a ship for specialization/training.

The commanders  haven't been removed, but will not be visible until a ship is available for them to be assigned to.

This such a bad idea. Please add the reserve list back again.

Then it's a fail...because the way it is now does not fit the definition of optimum...which is the root word of "optimizing".

Please give us back the optimum system we had before.

So what you are saying is that for anyone that doesn't have any of the Commonwealth ships (best example seeing as there are no tech tree ships available) in port but may have received a rental of one at some time (Perth comes to mind), then they have to buy a premium ship to be able to even see the captain that got left in the Reserve when the rental was taken away?

Yep, that is how you "optimize" something. Seems the only attempt here is optimizing Wargaming's bottom line.
