Great post.

 

I would also add:

> to not forget that the "Mentor" skill works on a premium tank too.

> that a "Mastered" tank could also increase your Crew XP rate.  This is observational.  I have not seen anything from the developers on this.

 

When you get the right 5+ skills and perks for your tank your performance is noticeably enhanced.

 

Pulled all together, your premium Crew will develop at a higher than initially published.

Crew Training WG Article in Spoiler

Spoiler

When you get a Crew, the first thing you'll want to do is start earning Crew XP in order to train them to 100% proficiency. The amount of Crew XP you gain after a battle is equal to the tank's earned XP. There is no Crew XP penalty if a Crew member was injured or killed during the battle. Here's the amount of Crew XP needed to train a Crew member to 100%:

• To go from 50% to 100%, it takes 48,314 Crew XP
• To go from 75% to 100%, it takes 24,157 Crew XP

Once your Crew reaches 100%, you will then be able to start trainingSkills and Perks. Once the first Skill reaches 100%, you will be able to train your Crew in a second Skill. You can continue to train your Crew in Skills, one at a time, until a maximum of 25 different Skills. Be sure to read the descriptions for each Skill, and select the best Skills for your play style. The Crew XP needed to train each Skill and Perk will double every four skills:

• For the first four skills, it takes 100,800 Crew XP per Skill/Perk
• Costs continue doubling every four skills, up to a total of 25 Skills/Perks

To help earn more Crew XP per battle, Elite and Premium tanks have accelerated Crew training.Accelerated Crew training provides 25% more Crew XP at the end of every battle. This allows those tanks to train Crews faster to get the Skills and Perks you want.

Premium tanks are the best vehicles to use for training Crews. Unlike Elite tanks, Premium tanks have an XP bonus that earns your Crew anywhere from 10% to 70% more tank XP per battle before the accelerated Crew bonus is added. Since tank XP earns Crew XP, these bonuses are invaluable when training a Crew!

 

 

To Earn the above training and skills this guide highlights the most efficient method to train crews, before we begin here are a few important points.

 

1)Premium tanks can only train crews of the SAME NATION. (Exceptions: T-34-88 (russian/&German), AMX Chaffee (US/French))

 

2) Moving a crew to a premium tank of the same nation is free and moving that crew back to its original tank is free.

 

3) If a premium tank already came with a crew you will have to pay silver or gold to transfer him to a NON-Premium tank the 1st time (Now this crew will treat that tank as its "original" tank and can move between the premium and itself for free.)

 

4) Usually the lower the Tier of premium the better the XP bonus to it is, keep in mind though you have higher potential XP in higher tier matches.

• Here are the new XP multipliers per tier:

• Tier II: 1.7x
• Tier III: 1.6x
• Tier IV: 1.5x
• Tier V: 1.4x
• Tier VI: 1.3x
• Tier VII: 1.2x
• Tier VIII: 1.1x

Now that those are taken care of let's get to the best way to train a crew, please open the spoiler below.

Spoiler

 

1st : Always make sure your premium tanks DO Not have any crew in them (makes managing them a lot easier)

 

2nd: Choose a main tank crew to train (for our example I will be using a KV-1 crew)

 

3rd: Transfer this crew member to a premium tank

 

4th: Play till you earn your x2 for 1st victory

 

5th: Transfer crew to next Soviet premium tank (this will be a free transfer)

 

6th: Repeat steps 4-5 till all x2 of your Soviet Premiums are exhausted

 

7th: Transfer the crew back to its original tank (KV-1) this will be a free transfer

 

8th: Repeat 1-7 Everyday

 

9th and final: Watch crew skills train quite quickly and profit

 

Comments and concerns are appreciated but please be constructive if possible

there is no benefit for simply having 100% Tank Training with a Crew

however, there IS a benefit for Elite Tanks (fully researched and also the tank(s) that follows it researched), namely 25% Bonus Crew XP. This also applies for Premium tanks since they are automatically Elite

This is my first post ever, so here it goes.  This was a great post for newer players like me.  I learn a ton from the info you guys post. 

 

Thanks for the great post and keep it up.  There are a lot of folks out there that I'm sure learn from these posts too, just don't have the time to say thanks!

 

Top first post, thanks for all helpfull posts. I t has(along with console you tube unicon vids) made the game easier to understand, that is the real point I think, education through peer Q@A is adding to player quality therefore enjoyment all questions great and small. It is a long haul from wondering why you are so crap to finding out and improving your effectivness.10/10. GG

[Panthfelis]

I use this method for training my crews and it works fast.

 

When training a crew that already has a few skills, instead of using the transfer crew option, After I get the daily x2 I go to the next tank which has no crew and press A to start a battle. Since there is no crew, the choose crew screen opens, and all crews available are listed in descending order. Select the crew you just played or if not back from battle select the next crew to train. I have one crew with 11 skills and the crew below him has 8 or 9 and that's just the USA line.

 

 

[Mister57x317]

Bumping this is a good idea. 

I didn't buy a premium tank until I'd played about 30 days.

I didn't use the crew training property of said premium until about 40 days in. Something worth mentioning if any truly new player who doesn't know reads this: 

 

The upcoming event starting this weekend.

The Mars chaffee is a premium tank and it will train ALL nations crews. 

So if a new player reads this, you'd be smart to use the Mars chaffee to train your crews especially if you don't have a premium tank yet.

Thanxz heaps.
But is this still the case for yr 2017 ?
Also this would mean purchasing a minimum of 2 premium tanks per nation yeah ?

I mean you could just use 1 Premium per nation, its certainly a thing but I currently own 109 Premium tanks, hell i wish i had the time to play them all in a day.

Answered in quote

also i updated the Exception list

[Shyber1969]

I was reading from your original posts in 2014.  Is the penalty issue in different class tanks still in effect or has this been taking care of with an update?  If this has been answered in the past I am sorry I missed it.

I look forward to your reply.  

Thanks,

Yes, which is why it was removed from the main post, I believe it was removed on update 1.3 but i could be mistaken on which update.

One more thing to add. Tank crews can lose memory of home tanks when game is updating. Fix can be a bug. Bug can be a bugbear. I hate 'bots. Love and peace to all else, Johnno.

That only happened once and we were given the gold necessary to restore the crews to their home tanks. 

Which I and others used to buy a few premium tanks, and just trained up the crews again. 

If WG want to throw us that bug again I want to be informed in advance so I can put all my TT crews in premium tanks so they can all lose their home tank.

Good post. this method works great and as stated by not having crews on your premium tanks the amount of time it takes to transfer is minimal.

 

I believe this subject was brought up but if you forget where your crew came from just keep trying until you are not asked for silver/gold.

Gold was NOT given to all, plenty were passed over, I had to argue extra hard to get a listen. I did not recieve full compensation nor did plenty of others. it took weeks to get my under- payment, I have not played since. I will however keep bringing it up because so players were not given the facts. Your statement proves that point because you were obviously not aware other players were not compensated till well after the offence.I am STILL waiting for an apology for not believing my ticket claim in the first place. I HATE being told I am a liar. This could all have been fixed with human contact first not a 'bot . I am human I notice this stuff. Pretty bad PR is all I was trying to relate but who gives a sh** right? Only trying to improve a reasonable product and marry it to a decent service. That would be bliss and I could start playing again(even invite some of my retired friends to bolster the numbers). Peace and love to all except 'bots Johnno.

Hey

 

I think Mentor is good after 8th or 12th skill. Ok 10 % xp, but a lot of skill gives you more "power" to win. 

 

I allways transfer crews.

1. Sisth Sense

2. Snap Shot

3. Smooth Ride

4. Repair

5. Brother In Arms

6. Safe Stowage
