Readd the crew increases

I agree, and the heavy rescue with boat. Should all be 6 IMHO

Yes! Yes a thousand times!

the increase for the Heavy Rescue and ladders made sense and were grounded in reality. while most places have 4, some like New York City have 6 on all ladder and rescue companies, And since Heavy Rescue gets 6 I agree with Pappy and say Heavy Rescue with Boat should also get the 6 man increase. I was ecstatic when they implemented the increase which was something I saw asked for multiple times by the community.

Yes. Yes yes. Here in LA they run 4-6 on a platform (depending on if its a tiller or tower) and staffing. (like if someone was off kt would be 3

Due to the devs receiving an overwhelming amount of negative feedback, they decided to reverse the decision. This may have affected the game by delaying future content updates whilst they decide whether or not to implement higher crew count versions of the existing vehicles.

i dont see any need to increase capacity for existing vehicles. They all feel good as they are right now imo.

From what I understand, the decision to increase capacity wasn't necessarily what has been negatively reacted to - what I've heard is more along the lines that when they increased the capacity, it overrode the player-specified crewing of every affected vehicle, defaulting them all to maximum. With some players having hundreds of affected vehicles, this change seems overwhelming and frustrating. Perhaps if the devs were to re-instate the increased crewing capacity in a way which only increased the maximum capacity, rather than adding crew to every related vehicle whilst the capacity is increased, that might receive less negative feedback...
