Crew skills and abilities. World of Tanks

As we know, when mastering the main specialty to 100%, our crew opens a menu of skills

As we know, when mastering the main specialty to 100%, our crew opens a menu of skills and abilities (click on +), however, many inexperienced players do not quite understand what to choose and therefore, this article will help you in choosing the right skills and abilities, so Let’s consider the most optimal assembly options for various types of equipment.

Let's start with a general description of what each skill and ability is and its need to be studied.

● Commander. The commander has some of the most useful sets of perks and skills, so choose them wisely.

1. The sixth sense, or in common parlance “light bulb”.

Allows the commander to detect whether our tank is illuminated, but it is worth remembering that the light appears after 3 seconds of being illuminated by the enemy. One of the most useful perks, we definitely download it to the commander first.

2.Jack of all trades.

This skill allows the commander to master the specialty of an incapacitated crew member. With 100% study - 50% of the skill of the shell-shocked crew member. Useless perk, download at the very end.

3.Mentor

Gives additional experience to all crew members except the commander.
With 100% study gives 10% to experience. Also not a very useful skill, we’ll leave it for the end.
Skill. Works as you learn.

4. Eagle Eye

An extremely useful perk for big-eyed STs and LTs to make their review even better. With 100% study it gives 2% to our review, +20% for damaged observation devices. It also gives an additional effect if you have optics, a stereo tube and radio interception skills.
Skill. Works as you learn.

5.Expert

Allows you, when aiming a sight (even an artillery one), to see which modules are damaged by the enemy and to see the shell-shocked crew. It is worth remembering that it starts working when you hold the enemy in sight for 4 seconds. A very ambiguous perk, it’s not for everyone; if you upgrade it, it’s definitely at the end.
Skill. Valid with 100% study.

● Gunner. A set of stupid perks, except for the smooth rotation of the tower.

1. Grudge

Allows us to additionally see the enemy for 2 seconds in a sector of 10 degrees. Not a very useful perk, suitable only for passive light, so that your team can hit the enemy more in extra time.
Skill. Valid with 100% study.

2. Master gunsmith

Allows you to reduce the spread of a damaged weapon. At 100% study it gives -20% to the dispersion of a damaged weapon. It is enhanced by the presence of a vertical stabilizer. An almost stupid perk, we’ll leave it for last.
Skill. Works as you learn.

3.Smooth rotation of the tower

Reduces spread when turning the turret by 7.5%. Extremely useful for ST, LT and TT. With a vertical stabilizer installed, the effect is enhanced.
Skill. Works as you learn.

4. Sniper.

Increases the chance of causing damage to the crew or module by 3% at 100% research. Does not work for high explosive shells Useless perk
Skill. Valid with 100% study.

● Driver. A set of perks, as a rule, to improve the driving performance of the tank and improve shooting on the move. Extremely useful for LT and ST.

1. Virtuoso

A useful perk for tanks with a low turning speed. With 100% study it gives +5% to the tank's turning speed. It is strengthened with additional lugs, Lend-Lease oil, 100 and 105 octane gasoline and a tightened speed controller.
Skill. Works as you learn.

2. King of off-road

Reduces soil resistance when moving. A useful skill for ST and LT, as well as for tanks with very poor maneuverability. It slightly enhances the dynamics of the tank as a whole. Strengthens with additional lugs. Gives us +10% to cross-country ability on soft ground and +2.5% on medium ground with 100% study.

3. Ram master

A wonderful perk for tanks such as the E50M, KV-4.5, etc., which allows you to reduce damage to your tank and increase damage to the enemy tank when ramming. With 100% study, it gives +15% damage to the enemy tank by ramming and reduces damage to our tank by -15%
Skill. Valid as you learn

4.Smooth running

This perk reduces the spread when shooting on the move. It is enhanced by the presence of a vertical stabilizer. Suitable for all types of equipment. At 100% study it gives -4% to movement dispersion.
Skill. Valid as you learn

5. Cleanliness and order

Reduces the likelihood of engine fire (does not affect tanks!) by 25%. Useful for tanks with a high percentage of engine fire. (the likelihood of a fire can be seen by examining the engine in detail in the hangar). Intensified by the presence of an automatic fire extinguisher.
Skill. Valid with 100% study.

1. With all my might

Allows our radio operator, who was not incapacitated when the tank was destroyed, to report the location of enemy tanks for another 2 seconds. Useless perk.
Skill. Valid with 100% study.

2. Inventor

Increases communication range. With 100% study it gives +20% to radio communication range. An extremely stupid perk. Into the furnace.
Skill. Works as you learn.

3. Radio interception

A useful perk that increases the visibility of our tank by 3% with 100% research. It is enhanced by the “eagle eye” perk and in the presence of optics, a stereo tube. We highly recommend it for sharp-eyed STs and LTs.
Skill. Works as you learn.

Increases the communication range of allies in the radius. With 100% study, it gives +10% to the communication range of allies. Again, an extremely useless perk.
Skill. Works as you learn.

● Loader. The loader has the smallest set of perks; you don’t even have to choose much.

1. Non-contact ammunition rack.

Increases ammo rack durability by 12.5%. A necessary skill for tanks with weak ammunition (for example, Soviet ST T-44 and T-54). Strengthens when there is a wet ammo rack
Skill. Valid with 100% study.

2. Intuition

Gives a 17% chance to instantly change the projectile (for example, from an armor-piercing to a high explosive) from the moment the projectile begins to reload. Useful for tanks where we often change the type of shells, such as E100, ob.261, etc.
Skill. Valid with 100% study.

3. Desperate

Reduces gun reload by 9.1% when the durability of our tank is less than 10%. A controversial skill, not for everyone. Strengthened by the presence of a gun rammer.
Skill. Valid with 100% study.

P.s. All these perks DO NOT stack if multiple crew members have them! (for example, desperately pumped up for 2 loaders does not stack, so don’t forget this and take more useful perks).

Now let's look at the skills and abilities available to all crew members. It is worth knowing that the effectiveness of these skills is taken into account from the average indicator of the crew that owns this skill (for example, if you have upgraded repairs for 2 out of 4 crew members, then the increase in repair speed will be 50% and not 100%).

1. Repair

Probably the most useful perk for any type of vehicle, with the exception of art. Increases the speed of repairing damaged tank modules. Strengthens with a large repair kit or tool box. With 100% study it gives +100% to the repair speed. First of all, upgrade for almost any vehicle.
Skill. Works as you learn.

2. Camouflage.

Reduces the visibility of our tank. It is enhanced by the presence of a camouflage network. An extremely useful perk for stealth tanks, tanks, and artillery. With 100% study it gives +100% to the tank's stealth.
Skill. Works as you learn.

3. Fire fighting

Increases the speed of extinguishing a fire during a fire by 100% with 100% pumping for the entire crew. It will be necessary for fire-hazardous tanks or if you like not to carry a fire extinguisher with you. We upgrade only on tanks that are burning like a Christmas tree or as a last resort.
Skill. Works as you learn.

4. Combat brotherhood

Beginners often get confused with this perk, because... REQUIRES UP TO 100% STUDY OF ALL CREW MEMBERS FOR ITS OPERATION. Increases in the presence of improved ventilation, chocolate, pudding with tea, extra ration, a box of cola, strong tea, an improved diet and onigiri (for each nation, respectively). When fully studied, it gives +5% to all basic skills, additional skills and abilities.

Heavy tanks (TT)

(bb-combat brotherhood, at the personal discretion of each).

Medium tanks (ST)

(For the last perks it is strictly your choice, depending on your technique).

Light tanks (LT)

(Combat brotherhood is at the personal discretion of each person).
(For the last perks it is strictly your choice, depending on your technique).

Tank destroyer

(If the PT is huge, the first perk instead of camouflage is upgraded to repair).
(For the last perks it is strictly your choice, depending on your technique).

ART-SAU

(For the last perks it is strictly your choice, depending on your technique).

All skills and abilities go sequentially for leveling up, however, you can change their places if you consider it necessary or if they suit your specific technique, because... It is impossible to choose the same perks for all tanks. It is also worth remembering that each next skill requires 2 times more experience than the previous one, we treat this wisely.

The official World of Tanks website, although it contains comprehensive information about the skills that each member of the crew of a combat vehicle can acquire, but, firstly, few people would smile at re-reading several pages of technical text, and secondly, the official information is dry and streamlined . They will never tell you in plain text that this skill is nonsense, but this one is not bad. Therefore, tankers will have to go to forums, where they will need to sift through many topics of several dozen or even hundreds of pages in order to find out the necessary information for themselves. The purpose of this material is to describe in detail and at the same time briefly, intelligibly and simply, each of the skills for each of the crew members, without hiding absolutely nothing.

Skills in World of Tanks are not an empty phrase, but an excellent prospect for repeatedly improving the characteristics of your combat vehicle. The importance of skills is often underestimated, but in vain. So, let's go.

Firefighting.

In the humble opinion of the author, as well as many experienced tankers, this is the least useful skill, which is easier to replace with a regular fire extinguisher. And to statements like what will happen if you are set on fire a second time, you can answer that such a probability is extremely low. In general, Firefighting is a skill with frankly weak utility. As an alternative, you can take the “Cleanliness and Order” skill, which reduces the likelihood of an engine fire.

Disguise.

This skill is being studied en masse, especially by beginners who believe that now their tank will be inconspicuous and they can have a lot of fun playing in sniper mode. This is wrong. The fact is that not all tanks in the game are capable of camouflage. Some do it better, some worse, and some, huge, high-profile machines, do not know how to camouflage themselves at all. For example, a T-62 with camouflage upgraded to 100% can remain invisible when stationary up to almost 300 meters, while the same E-100 can hide under similar conditions only at a distance of a little more than 400 meters. As an alternative, it is better to purchase camouflage for the tank, and also hide in the bushes more often. In general, camouflage is a more or less useful skill, but not for all tanks.

Repair.

The most universal skill in its usefulness. Repairs can and should be carried out. As an alternative or as a supplement, a tool box, as well as a large or small repair kit, are excellent. Each tank must have a tanker trained in repairs.

The Brotherhood of War.

Another universal, team skill that gives a 5% increase in points for all skills for the entire crew. As an alternative, you can purchase ventilation, however, the effect of these two components is summed up, so it is better to study the military brotherhood and install ventilation. If you add cola, chocolate or coffee to everything else, your skills can increase up to 120%. A good skill that is especially good for artillerymen.

Now let's move on to the personal skills of each crew member.

Commander.

The skill of a mentor allows the commander to train his charges faster. The greatest effect is achieved when studied at the very beginning of development. However, this skill only provides accelerated leveling of other skills, and, in fact, does not bring any benefit. In general, this skill is quite suitable for the most impatient.

Not a bad skill. It allows you to see removed or damaged components in enemy vehicles on tanks, but Expert only works with 100% pumping, and also if you can hold the enemy vehicle in sight for about 5 seconds, which is not always acceptable in random battles. Bottom line: this skill is more suitable for duels. It provides more informational assistance, which may not always be useful in battle, where you often shoot where you can, or even at random. A skill of questionable usefulness.

One of the most important skills in the game, if not the most important. The famous “light bulb” is vital in every battle. The skill signals the fact that your equipment has been exposed. If the light comes on, it means the tank has been found. It is a must to study, and the sooner the better.

This skill allows the commander to replace an incapacitated crew member. Most often, instead of this skill, players prefer to purchase first aid kits to treat victims. Not the most useful option.

A fully upgraded Eagle Eye allows you to increase the maximum visibility of the tank by 2%. The use of this skill is for experienced players. This skill is unlikely to be useful for beginners, however, if you fight on a Bat Chat, Patton or other vehicle with a good vision function, then you can and even need to take Eagle Eye. Bottom line: this skill will be useful if you know and like to use camouflage and know how to calculate the detection range. As an alternative, as well as an addition, you can take radio interception, coated optics, a stereo tube or an additional solder with ventilation.

The sniper skill will increase the chance of dealing critical damage. Quite a useful profession. This will be especially visible after comparing the results of battles on vehicles where the gunner is trained in sniper shooting and where he is not. The difference will be noticeable. A tank with this skill will inflict much more crits, including such useful ones as fire or ammunition explosion. Does not work with cumulative projectiles. A very worthy choice, practically obligatory to study.

This skill allows you to see a disappearing enemy in your sights for two additional seconds. It only works if you personally spotted this enemy. In other words, artillery operators who are eager to upgrade this skill should know that it will not be useful, since for artillery, the enemy is illuminated by other tanks, and not by the artillery itself. Bottom line: an almost useless skill that is better not to upgrade.

Everything is clear here: in sniper mode it will be easier to aim when turning the turret, if there is one. Don't upgrade your skill if your tower doesn't rotate. An alternative is to install a stabilizer. However, the benefits add up. To be brief, this skill is one of the most useless. You don't have to study, you'll lose a little.

It's all in the title. After 100% upgrade, the gunner can with a high degree of probability predict what type of projectile will be needed in the future. The skill is interesting and even funny, but almost useless. Instead, study better repairs or the same disguise.

A very important skill, since damage to the ammunition rack immediately turns your tank into a pile of scrap metal, and learning this skill allows you to reduce the chance of an ammunition explosion by 13%. It’s a fairly useful specialty, although many people prefer to study something else. Bottom line: be sure to learn it if you plan to fight on tanks with traditionally poorly protected ammunition.

Quite an original thing. Its essence boils down to the fact that as soon as a vehicle has less than 10% health left, the loader begins to shoot 10% faster. A rammer is an excellent addition or alternative. It is better to level up this skill on a tank with a lot of health. Bottom line: a useful, albeit specific, skill for the loader.

Radio operator.

This skill increases the radio communication range. Almost useless specialty. In general, it is worth noting that the special skills of the radio operator are famous for being the most useless among the rest of the team. It is better to train a radio operator in general rather than specialized skills.

Another useless skill that increases the communication distance with all allied vehicles. You can try to teach, but only if you play artillery.

This skill increases visibility. At full 100% study, it adds +3% to range. Conclusion: more or less useful, although not a vital skill. You can learn it if you really want to.

A specific skill responsible for sending information about the location of enemies a few seconds after the destruction of equipment. A vengeful skill that makes sense to learn only on fireflies - reconnaissance tanks.

Driver mechanic.

This skill will be most useful for controlling a tank with poor dynamics. When fully learned, it gives a 5% increase in turning speed. Not the most useful skill, which can only show its usefulness when your combat tactics require private turns and similar maneuvers.

Thanks to this skill, the driver will be able to add a little more maneuverability to your tank on heavy surfaces such as swamps and other off-road conditions. A practically useless skill that few people learn.

This skill allows you to reduce spread when shooting on the move. A modest 4 percent of the scope's diameter is removed. It makes sense to study only on light or medium tanks. The slower the tank, the less point there is in learning this skill. Not a very useful purchase, which can be replaced with a smooth ride stabilizer.

An excellent skill that allows you to increase damage by up to 15 percent when performing a ramming technique. It is an excellent addition for heavy and fast equipment. Armed with the ramming skill, regular medium or even light tanks can bring a lot of trouble to the enemy. Highly recommended for study.

This skill reduces the chance of fire by 25%. Not a bad skill, especially if you don't plan to use fire extinguishers. If you always have a fire extinguisher in stock, then there is no point in downloading Cleanliness and Order. In addition, it can be perfectly replaced with the same general firefighting skill, although this is not at all the same thing. The Cyclone filter is also suitable as an alternative or addition.

Additional skills and abilities are available for study by a crew member after mastering the main specialty 100%. When this mark is reached, a “plus sign” will appear in the menu, by clicking on which you can select the required skill or skill. After learning the first skill, you are given the opportunity to learn the second, and then the third, etc. skills. To learn each subsequent skill, you need twice as much experience as the previous one.

Skill - begins to operate from the beginning of learning

Skill - begins to work only after learning 100%

General skills and abilities

Repair(skill) - speeds up the repair of damaged modules. The average skill level of the crew is taken into account. Having 100% upgraded repairs for each crew member reduces the repair time by 2 times. The effect is cumulative when combined with the Tool Box equipment. It is definitely needed on all vehicles except self-propelled guns - there it is no longer particularly critical. If you're going to play without repairs, be prepared to get killed a lot while you're standing on ripped tracks.

Disguise(skill) - Reduces the overall visibility of the tank. The average skill level of the crew is taken into account. The effect is cumulative in combination with the Camouflage Network equipment. A very important skill, especially for small machines. Large vehicles like Maus, SU-14, T92 hardly need this skill; the increase will be minimal. But if you're playing a T-54, STUG III or something similar, then rest assured that the camouflage skill will give you a nice bonus to stealth.

The Brotherhood of War(skill) - improves the level of proficiency in the main specialty and all the skills and abilities of the crew. The “Combat Brotherhood” skill gives a bonus to the “Mentor” skill. The effect is cumulative in combination with the “Improved Ventilation” equipment, the “Dop Rye”, “Chocolate”, “Code of Cola” equipment, etc. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it only works when all crew members are 100% pumped. It is most popular on self-propelled guns, because there often remain undistributed skills and abilities, since repairs and fire fighting are not particularly important there. +5% to the crew, but in reality the real increase is half as much to the tank’s parameters. For example, recharge is reduced by 2.5%, as is the case with the Improved Ventilation equipment.

Firefighting(skill) - speeds up fire extinguishing. The average skill level of the crew is taken into account. A useful skill for tanks that often burn. Some people get by without it, using fire extinguishers, but if you are driving on equipment that is prone to frequent fires, and you don’t have free slots for a fire extinguisher, then the fire extinguishing skill will definitely come in handy.

Commander

Sixth Sense(skill) – allows the commander to determine whether his tank is detected by the enemy. An additional visibility indicator appears in the interface, which records only the fact of illumination, but not its duration. The indicator lights up after three seconds. Works in sniper, arcade and artillery modes. A wonderful skill that will save you from many problems. Can be used on tanks that fight at long ranges and use cover for camouflage. Extremely useful on self-propelled guns and tank destroyers. On active melee combat tanks this skill is unlikely to be needed, because in this case you yourself know when they see you.

An eagle eye(skill) - increases the maximum viewing range. If the observation devices are faulty, the effectiveness of the skill is higher. The effect is cumulative in combination with the “Radio Interception” skill, the “Coated Optics” and “Stereo Tube” equipment. + 0.2% for every 10% of skill, with faulty devices + 2% for every 10% of skill. An analogue of coated optics, but its effect is weaker. You need to bet on “sighted” tanks, then the increase will be noticeable. There will be little use on “blind” tanks.

Handyman(skill) - allows the commander to master all specialties and replace incapacitated crew members. Only the main specialties are replaced. The effectiveness of replacement decreases when another crew member is disabled. A useful skill for a commander, especially important on tanks that have good survivability and armor. A situation often arises when countless HE shells are fired at such tanks, which incapacitate the crew. This skill will help you save one first aid kit. Efficiency +50%.

Mentor(skill) - provides additional experience to all crew members except the commander. A skill for those who are going to pump up the crew for a long time and persistently to the “Rambo” state. It is taken for long-term use and begins to justify itself after several hundred fights. Everyone except the commander receives +1% experience for every 10% skill.

Expert(skill) - allows the commander to determine critical damage to tanks in the sight. Operates in both direct fire mode and artillery aiming mode. Shows critical damage to vehicles, both enemy and friendly. There are only a few nuances: 1) time delay, 2) the skill shows the crits of vehicles in the sector of your weapon, i.e. does not show crits of vehicles that are behind obstacles or outside your viewing radius. Many people wonder why it doesn’t work on self-propelled guns - that’s why. It only works with line of sight. +/- 15 degrees from the direction of the gun, shown 4 seconds after pointing at the enemy.

Driver mechanic

Virtuoso(skill) – increases the tank’s turning speed. The effect is summed up in combination with the equipment “Additional lugs”, equipment “Lend-Lease oil”, “Twisted engine speed controller”, “100, 105 - octane gasoline”. A useful skill for cars for which high turning speed is important. For PT and TT, this is more of a patch, because often these vehicles do not turn around very quickly. Naturally, the Stug hardly needs this skill; it spins well without it. But large and severe PTs are slow. This skill will help them. The situation is the same with the TT, you just need to determine whether you have enough maneuverability. Well, on ST this is a necessary skill for an aggressive playing style. Twisting the enemy with a virtuoso driver will be easier and more fun. For LT the situation is similar to ST. People often ask whether this skill is needed for self-propelled guns. Here everyone will have to decide for themselves: on the one hand - a quick turn, on the other - a stronger dispersion of the gun when turning the body. +5% to turn speed while moving or standing still.

King of off-road(skill) - reduces the resistance of weak and medium soils when the tank moves. Increases the maneuverability of the tank and reduces the time it takes to reach maximum speed. The effect is cumulative in combination with the “Additional lugs” equipment. A useful skill for cars that often have to go where others don't go. A “firefly” traveling through a swamp, for example, will need it. It will also be useful for AT, as it increases the speed of turning in place. +10% on soft ground or +25% on average at 100%.

Smooth ride(skill) - reduces spread when shooting on the move. The skill does not affect spread when turning or when shooting in place. An analogue of a stabilizer, but its effect is weaker. The effect is cumulative in combination with the Vertical Stabilizer equipment. Very effective on tanks where you often shoot straight away. +4% with 100% learning of the skill.

Ram master(skill) - reduces damage to your own tank and increases damage to the enemy tank when ramming. Affects only moving tanks and is not taken into account in collisions with allied tanks. +15% with 100% learning of the skill. One of the most fun and specific skills. It shows itself on fast and heavy machines, such as E50, AMX 50 100/120/V, VK2801. If you often like to literally “crush” enemies, then this skill is simply necessary for you.

Cleanliness and tidiness(skill) - reduces the likelihood of an engine fire by preventing oil and fuel leaks in the engine compartment. The effect is cumulative in combination with the Automatic Fire Extinguisher equipment. A skill that would be advisable to install on a vehicle like the IS-7 or Mouse, which has a large amount of HP and thick armor. It would be a shame to catch fire and lose a lot of HP due to the fire. Coefficient 0.75.

Gunner

Sniper(skill) - increases the likelihood of causing critical damage to enemy tank modules and crew. Only for armor-piercing and sub-caliber and cumulative shells. If the skill is acquired by two gunners, the effect does not increase. An excellent skill, useful for everyone except those who shoot HE shells. For BB, cumulative and sub-caliber weapons, the effect is +3% to the probability.

Smooth rotation of the tower(skill) - reduces spread when turning the tower. The effectiveness of the skill increases as it is learned. If a skill is acquired by two gunners, the maximum skill level for the crew is taken into account.

The effect is cumulative in combination with the Vertical Stabilizer equipment. Most often used on machines with an aggressive playing style. People often ask whether this skill works on self-propelled guns or tank destroyers? Yes, it works within the range of gun rotation, since rotating the gun in the game is equivalent to rotating the turret. +7.5% with 100% leveled skill.

Master Weaponsmith(skill) – reduces the spread of a damaged weapon. If a skill is acquired by two gunners, the maximum skill level for the crew is taken into account. The effect is cumulative in combination with the Vertical Stabilizer equipment.

A skill from the “for tenacious machines” series. It will be especially useful for those whose weapons are damaged more often than usual. Therefore, everyone must determine for themselves whether they need this skill or not. -2% to spread for every 10% skill.

vindictive(skill) - allows the gunner in the line of sight to see an enemy tank in the sights for an additional two seconds. Operates in both direct fire mode and artillery aiming mode. If the skill is acquired by two gunners, the effect does not increase. A skill that allows you to see a target illuminated for longer than usual. It is worth noting that the skill will not work if the target is outside the viewing radius. That is, it will only work on self-propelled guns almost point-blank. +2 seconds in the 10 degree sector.

Charging

Non-contact ammunition rack(skill) - increases the strength of the ammunition rack. The shells are laid out in such an order that they do not touch each other. The effect does not stack if the skill is acquired by two loaders. The effect is cumulative in combination with the Wet Ammunition Storage equipment. The increase in HP of the ammunition rack is 50%, respectively, the higher the level of the vehicle, the more (HP of the ammunition rack depends mainly on the level of the vehicle). The skill will be useful on high-level machines.

Desperate(skill) - speeds up gun reloading if the tank has less than 10% strength left. If a skill is acquired by two chargers, the effect does not stack. The effect is cumulative in combination with the Gun Rammer equipment. Interesting and good skill. Obviously, machines with a lot of HP are needed - Mouse, E100. There, the situation “left with 10% HP” happens often. Another application is on self-propelled guns. "Cunning" players keep 10% for themselves with the help of their team. Of course, the reload speed in this case increases, but do not forget that with 10%, any shot will send you to the hangar. + 10% to reload speed if durability is less than 10%.

Intuition(skill) - creates the likelihood that the required ammunition is already loaded when changing the type of shells. To use the skill again, you must fully reload the weapon. The effect is enhanced if the skill is acquired by two loaders. Useful if you often change the type of projectile. Depending on the number of loaders, the probability is from 15% to 30%.

Radio operator

Radio interception(skill) - increases viewing range. If the skill is acquired by two radio operators, the maximum skill level for the crew is taken into account. The effect is cumulative in combination with the Eagle Eye skill. +3% with 100% learning of the skill. The better the tank's visibility, the greater the increase in skill.

Inventor(skill) - increases the communication range of the radio station. If the skill is acquired by two radio operators, the maximum skill level for the crew is taken into account. +20% with 100% learning of the skill. Useful for tanks with weak radios, such as T2LT, for example.

Repeater(skill) - increases the communication range of all allied tanks within the range of the player’s radio station. If the skill is acquired by two radio operators, the maximum skill level for the crew is taken into account. + 10% with 100% learning of the skill. A peculiar skill. No benefit to you, but benefit to the team. Useful in tournaments.

With all my might(skill) - allows a radio operator who was not incapacitated at the time of the destruction of the tank to transmit the coordinates of enemy tanks for another two seconds. The effect does not stack if the skill is acquired by two radio operators. A wonderful skill for fireflies. How often did it happen that self-propelled guns did not have time to converge on illuminated targets? With this skill there will be fewer such cases.

In the World of Tanks game, a lot depends not only on the technical characteristics of combat vehicles and the player’s “skill,” but also on the crew placed on the vehicle. The experience of the crew in World of Tanks directly affects the quality of battles, because the game contains vehicles in which, when playing with a stock crew, the player only receives a sea of ​​discomfort and negative emotions. But as soon as you put a crew on such tanks with at least 3 perks correctly selected, the vehicle, which was suffering before, will begin to play with completely different colors.

Therefore, many tankers ask the question: “How to upgrade the crew in World of Tanks?” or “How to transfer a crew to World of Tanks?” Another common question remains “What crew skills in World of Tanks should be developed on this or that vehicle?” This article will give basic recommendations on leveling up the crew, a set of perks that are worth learning on a particular vehicle, and equipment that can enhance certain perks.

How to upgrade your crew in world of tanks

There are several ways to train a crew in World of Tanks. The majority of players use the experience earned in each battle to raise the level of each crew member. This experience is automatically awarded and, depending on your achievements in battle, it can be more or less. Upon reaching 100% level of pumping, each crew member unlocks additional perks. They can be both general (for example, repairs, fire extinguishing) and unique (eagle eye, radio interception, etc.). Some of the perks can be enhanced in combination with others. The Combat Brotherhood perks, in combination with skills that enhance visibility, provide a significant increase in the range of vision of a combat vehicle.

Another option for leveling up the crew is to convert combat experience into free experience for gold, after which this experience can be converted into experience for crew members. This method involves spending real money to buy gold coins, but it significantly increases the speed of learning certain perks.

How to retrain the crew in world of tanks

Crew retraining in World of Tanks is used to transfer crew from one tank to another. During such transfers, the player pays an experience penalty, after which the crew resets the main skill by several tens of percent. You can also retrain your crew for silver and gold. In the process of retraining the crew for silver coins, the fine becomes slightly smaller.

Retraining a crew for gold allows you to use the upgraded crew on a new vehicle without any penalties. Players who are just beginning to explore the world of tanks often ask “How to retrain the crew in World of Tanks or how to change the crew in World of Tanks?” To do this, you need to select a crew member in the hangar, right-click on him and select retrain in the training tab, after which you need to select the retraining method.

Proper leveling up of the crew in world of tanks

For each individual car, it is worth selecting those perks and skills that are most suitable for it. Proper leveling of the crew in World of Tanks can significantly increase the player’s effectiveness in battle. To play on light tanks, first of all, all crew members should learn “Camouflage”. After achieving 100% learning of camouflage, the commander should reset this perk and put “Sixth Sense” in its place. The second perk is to study the commander's camouflage, and all other crew members need review perks. The third skill is to pump up the military brotherhood.

To play comfortably on medium tanks, you should download repairs first. The commander, as in the first case, needs to reset the skill and select the “light bulb”. Next comes perks for gun stabilization and the third perk is also combat brotherhood. For heavy tanks, the same perks are suitable as for light ones, but in some vehicles it is worth giving priority to pumping out fire extinguishing. In most cases, the following perks are suitable for tank destroyers - camouflage, repair, Brotherhood of Battle, all perks for stabilizing the gun. It is worth remembering that the commander’s first perk must be “Sixth Sense”. For a comfortable game on self-propelled guns, it is worth pumping out camouflage, gun stabilization perks, and combat fraternity.

Additional crew skills in World of Tanks can be improved in combination with the equipment installed on the vehicle. Such equipment includes a “fan”, which gives another + 5% to the crew’s skills, optics or a camouflage net. This is not the entire list of possible improvements to a combat vehicle, so the effect of each perk should be enhanced with equipment that is maximally capable of unleashing the combat potential of the crew.

Crew skills in World of Tanks do not end with the above list and they may differ on each individual vehicle. For example, when playing on the Jagdpanzer E 100, you should not waste energy on upgrading camouflage, since this machine “glows” even with this skill pumped up. A detailed table of crew upgrades in World of Tanks is given below.

Female crew in world of tanks

Female crew in World of Tanks appeared with the introduction of personal combat missions. They can be earned by fulfilling the conditions of these tasks and they differ from the usual pumpable male crews in that they already have the “Battle Friends” perk and another perk that the player can immediately train.

The “Battlefriends” perk has the same characteristics as the “Combat Brotherhood”. It is worth remembering that these two skills do not work together, so it is worth using only male or female crews on one vehicle.

Leveling up the crew in World of Tanks takes quite a long time, but at the same time it remains a rather important component of the game, which should not be forgotten. Crew training in World of Tanks should be carried out with an understanding of the game itself and with an eye on future vehicles that the player will meet in one or another research branch. After all, transferring a crew to World of Tanks with skills that were ideally suited to the previous tank can make playing on the next tank completely uncomfortable and force the player to reset all skills in order to learn more suitable ones for the new tank.

All constant victories with a good crew!

Hello, my dear tankers!

Today I will tell you about the most valuable thing in WorldofTanks, namely about crews your combat vehicles.

Why is the crew the most valuable thing in the game? Very simple. If your account is hijacked and the attacker sells all the tanks and spends all the money, the community department can reimburse the cost of your equipment, but no one will return the crews, they will all be entry-level. Taking into account the fact that the maximum level of crew development can be achieved as a result of at least 10,000 battles on one tank, the loss of a well-trained crew can be considered irreparable.
