Crew Skills and Perks play an important role in the game as they give your crew certain boost to help your tanks performance. Deciding which Skill or Perk you want to train can be a difficult choice so be sure to read up on what the Skill and Perk does and how it benefits you. Some Skills and Perks are better used on certain classes, nations, or play styles so decide what best suits your needs. Your crew can have a maximum of 25 skills and perks. 

 

Skills and Perks work slightly different. Skills will become active as soon as you start learning them and become more effective as you increase your training level. Perks will only become effective once they are fully trained. You can view a full list of Skills and Perks below and their affects to help you decide which will benefit you.

Swimming Lessons: The amount of time your tank can survive underwater is increased by 50%.

 

Call for Vengeance: Enables the Radio Operator that survived the destruction of their vehicle to report enemy positions for another two seconds. If no Radio Operator exists the Commander must survive for this skill to take effect.

 

Preventative Maintenance: Reduces the chance of engine fire by 25%. The perk is more effective when combined with Automatic Fire Extinguishers.

 

Paratrooper Training: Reduced falling damage by 20%

Awesome max, great to see some specific numbers!

 

I however have three questions :

1) for Designated Target: what qualifies as a marked target? Do you need to look at it? Do you have to be the one spotting the enemy of does it work even if you are not spotting yourself? 

2) for Designated Target: what is indirect fire mode? Is it sniper view or artillery view, or both? I know it's different on pc but there is always a lot of debate about it.

3) do you have a percentage for the first two skills (repair and fire fighting) when they are fully trained?

1. Targeted means you have your camera on them. (There info displays above their tank).

2. Both. Indirect Fire is Artillery. Direct Fire is everything else. 

3. It's different per tank as they have their own rate of burn/damage/repair times/etc. Due to this, it can't be represented by a number.

[emperordennis]

Thanks

[KillerDNA]

so designated target works for arty shooting at things across the map?

NAILED IT

[Jet Army]

yes indirect fire is for the artillery. this gives good insight on crew build, that is which perks or skills should be first . for class specific of course.

Thanks for posting these!

Interesting to see the concrete numbes for things like Muffled/Green/PainTolerance, makes me want to dump Green Thumb for something besides a "5% sitting-in-bushes boost"

Three times now My tanks have reached 3% to finish learning a skill so I can acquire a new skill and the skill level drops back to 87% making all the game playing to learn that skill wasted.

Three tickets have been sent in and this problem started less than three weeks ago.

The latest is the T-1 Cunningham on 11/13/2015 I got the camouflaged skill almost learned I had only 3% more to learn and could learn a new skill then after the last battle ended I checked my skill percentage and it was 87 % to go.

 

What is the point in having skills and working to learn them so you can upgrade to another skill if the game sets you back?

 

Is it a bug or is the game being hacked or trolled?

 

What is the problem?

I thought that skills and perks gained from previous tanks do not come into play until the crew reaches 100% core training, yet my T25/2 has Sixth Sense with crew training at 80%. How is this possible?

Any skill or perk that is 100% trained continues to work, even if your crew is not back to 100% yet. You just have to train your crew to 100% before you can continue training your current skill/perk.

[IronBallsMatt]

please remind me, what boost exactly do the repairs, firefighting and camouflage skills give ?

 

cheers

[GrinReaper79]

Does the Mentor perk actually improve my crews performance or is it giving me extra xp only? when should i be using this perk to get the most of it?.....Thanks.....

[IronBallsMatt]

mentor only gives you more experience.

 

Choose mentor as your first skill/perk and forget you have it. Make sure your tank has vents and do things like putting your crew into a premium tank every day to make the most of the premium and x2 xp bonuses, and going for all the operations which give xp bonuses. I usually get rid of mentor once i have 5 or 6 skills, because by then i am more or less in the position to create the 'perfect' skill set for most tanks, but it if you go on to grind 9 skills for a crew, mentor will have earned you an extra one with its bonuses

 

Brother in Arms will boost all crew skills a bit so get that as your second skill/perk to make the most of the mentor bonus. If you have gold, you might want to train a useful skill as your second skill/perk and swap this to BIA which is a perk so doesnt do anything until it's 100%

I usually train Repairs or Camo first, then swap to 6th Sense. Retrain Repairs/Camo and swap in BIA. Retrain Repairs/Camo a third time, and then train Mentor at the 4th position. The first 4 skills train pretty quickly, and I like to have those keystone skills on a crew. From 5th on I really feel the benefits of Mentor...

[Aelgyn]

It took me a while to figure out that the symbol for skills is a compass and that perks have a lightning. That made it hard initially to figure out which were skills and which were perks.

you can press RT (Right Trigger) on any screen in the Garage to get help/info about it. Most of them explain things like that, and that one in particular definitely does

Maybe this description got added in a later update? I knew about RT before I got this figured out.
