    Dear all WoTards, the xp used up when training a 75% crew to 100% is not a fixed percentage drop. It’s a fixed xp drop. Resetting a 6 skill crew will use up the same amount of xp as a 1 skill crew. NOT the same percentage. You’re not wasting more xp just by having a better crew. A one skill crew may drop by 50%, but a 6 skill crew will drop by 1%

      @@tsd_ju7084 I have a crew with BIA and 5 other skills for 6 total. The 6th skill is at 52%. If I retrain with credits, it says the 6th skill will be consumed down to 1%. This means I will lose 51% of my 6th skill. At first glance you might think "Well, it's taking 10% of my XP!"
      But instead, try it on a crew when the skill is at a higher percentage. For example, on another of my crew, which is a 5 skill with the 5th skill at 90%. If I were to retrain with credits, it would take the 5th skill down to 83%. The reason for this is because it's a fixed XP amount as chems says, but each perk is super easy to raise until around 55-60%, when it slows down a bit.

    Note: if you have already chosen some crew skills for the crew, you have to reset the skills after you retrain the crew to a different tank. If you don't reset the skills the xp from them won't be used to train them up too 100%, luckily you can also use credits to reset the skills

      It is no worth it to reset your skills.
      From wg wiki:
      Dropping Skills and Perks You can reset all of a crewman's learned Skills and Perks. This allows you to change your crew member's Skills or Perks without having to start all over with a new recruit. There are three options available:
      If done for free, it results in the loss of 20% of the crewman's total Skill/Perk experience points.
      If done for credits, it results in the loss of 10% of the crewman's total Skill/Perk experience points.
      For 200 Gold, it results in no loss of experience.
      Since the first two options are based on total Skill/Perk experience points, the more Skills/Perks a crewman has, the more expensive (in terms of experience points) they become.
      Given the high cost (in experience, credits, or gold) it's clearly in your best interest to choose Skills and Perks carefully in the first place.
      Major Qualification from 0% to 100% requires a total of 105,030 XP.
      1st Skill or Perk from 0% to 100% requires a total of 210,060 XP.
      2nd Skill or Perk from 0% to 100% requires a total of 420,120 XP.
      3rd Skill or Perk from 0% to 100% requires a total of 840,240 XP.
      If you dont reset your skills for gold and have more than one skill, you will lose more exp for your skills than it takes to train major qualification from 90% to 100%.
      This trick is only usefull if you have unassigned skills. Reseting you skills is a waste of exp and silver.

      The chances of that would be:
      without deadeye: 0,27³≈2%
      with deadeye: 0,3³≈2.7%
      But if we have something like the LTG which has 115 module dmg we would only need 2 crits for an ammorack.
      The chances of that would be:
      without deadeye: 0,27²≈7.3%

      So a 0.7% increase versus a 1.7% increase.

    My own personal experience with these perks after playing for the past 7 years.
    -Clutch braking makes a very noticeable difference. It's about the same as upgrading the tracks a second time. All my drivers get it as a 2nd skill after BIA.
    -Off road driving is great for tanks with poor ground resistance such as 122 TM and heavies in general.
    -Snap shot is insanely effective, especially when combined with the SS directive. -18ish% to moving dispersion with those two. Add smooth ride to that and you get even more overall dispersion management.
    -Situational awareness gives a larger increase in view range than recon. Obviously having both is ideal.
    Just my 2 cents of experience.

    designated target can be pretty useful, if you spot someone who just shot, he will go into cover for 10 seconds until hes not lit anymore, now normally you would just wait until hes spotted again, but with designsted target you will spot him for 12 seconds which means you might get an extra shot in when hes trying to get into position again since he thinks hes not lit anymore

    10:26 I have firefighting trained on my Maus crew in such a way as to give a "+105% to firefighting speed" bonus (100% trained on every crew member). Yet I still take 700-800 dmg every time I get set on fire. In theory I should be taking only ~150 dmg. There is no accurate info on reddit or the forums as to why this is the case and I want to know why because it pisses me off.
    Edit: I think what has happened is that WG has increased fire damage since the last time people tested it in a training room (using a Type 5 Heavy) and posted the results on reddit three years ago. I assume a Maus would be taking similar dmg to a Type 5 due to similar HP numbers.

    Regarding the lifehack for crue retraining. There is another one, but you'll need wot plus for that. You could leave the crew as it is, especially if the crew members have 4+ skills, reset for credits will reduce thier xp substantially. Instead, simply retrain the crew for credits (without skill reset) on the tank that you want, now you have a 90% crew if the current vehicle is of the same type, otherwise, you'll have an 80% crew. Then enable the fast crew training and wait for 2 days. You'll have 98% crew, and the rest xp will be gained in 1 to 5 battles.
    If you don't have wot plus, or you have it but don't wanna wait, retrain the crew for credits and enable the xp booster. It will literally take you few battles to have 100% crew

    Designated target is usefull on LTs but only after the more important gunner's skills are trained. Also, it makes a difference only after it's boosted with a directive. I believe with BiA and Vents you can have the enemies lit up to 4 s extra. Which considering the natural counting to 10 before poking out again we all develop, is quite a lot! Especially on maps like Ghost Town, Live Oaks, Pilsen and Outpost, where scouts can hide behind a rock and then go to the bush again.

    Mentor makes some sense to me.

    Another thing, a tier list of directives would be useful. Some crews improve the skills in the E/F section by half (stowage by 300%, e.g.), but in general I wonder what should be placed there, crew skills or equipment.

    I mostly agree, but in case of FV4005 u want to have your gun handling literally to the max so im using all the crappy smoth rides, snap shots etc, even though im using bond rotation mechanism, experimental turbo and bounty aiming device. Imo chosing these skills especially if u have at least 6 crew skills it’s reasonable, simply because there is nothing else to choose from ;) and aditional buff to gun handling even tiny imo it’s worth. But again works only on certain vehicles. Overall great video boss. Keep it up 👍🏻 Million subs easy, peace ✌🏻
    Edit: I also kinda made use of vengeance perk, while marking shitbarn. In centain situations with maxed view range I’ve been able to spot some additional dmg while being dead. But yea it’s pretty sweaty way of playing FV, and it’s so minor that you probably won’t notice it in the course of multiple games. Sorry for the half page poems but I had to share this 🤷

    And that makes it balanced: a player with 3-4 crew skills is able to compete against a player with 8-9 crew skill because most of the crew skills are garbage.
    Thinking back of the proposed update by wg about crew skill, it was unbalanced because the skills were too strong, and they were too many good crew skills.
    To make it balanced, they could have make it so the 4th crew skill is only 50% effective once fully trained (5th -> 40%, 6th ->32%, 7th ->26%, 8th ->20%, 9th ->16%, and so on: getting only 80% of the efficiency of the last skill).

    • @nikoladd
      @nikoladd Před 5 měsíci +1

      if you reset the skills before retraining and don't reassign the skills you will lose 10% of the entire XP. Which is exponentially worse. I.e. for 4 skill+change crew you'd spend 10%(assuming same vehicle class) on the 5th skill, which is 1*2*2*2*2=16 times the XP you need to spend for the retrain. So instead of spending about 20k XP you actually need you'd spend 320k.
      So always assign skills and retrain with the change. And make sure you don't retrain if you have a lot of change. It becomes very expensive with highly trained crews.
      Also if you reset skills every time that basically makes you lose 19% of XP instead of 10% as the 10% is applied on both reset and retrain.
