12:31 Sniper can really be useful in some situations though the chance is low Think about this: A heavy tank with a weak ammo rack is in front of you, and his equipment has defense system. Therefore, the chance of damaging or even blowing up his ammo rack is 27% - 7% = 20% You have Level 4 Sniper crew skill so the chance of damaging enemy tank's modules is 4% Now you have 20% + 4% = 24% chance of damaging an enemy module and 100% chance if the sniper icon appears after you fired a shot This is really one of the most underrated crew skills.
In rare cases, yes, but the largest module is the tracks, which already have 100% chance of taking damage. I think this might often cancel the effect of the skill.
Really good video. IMHO the crew skills program is important for improvement for 2 reasons. 1) Yes, completing the stages give a marginal advantage over the opposing players who don’t bother training crew skills; 2) but more importantly, it provides a GOAL that when completed, will really make a more competent player.
I don't consider myself a pro or a good player by any means but I'd say I know a lot about this game and better then the average player and have been playing for more then 2 years but even I didn't know that tanks of another class can use skills from another class
13:53 - what is the icon/symbol mean? It is just above the Hit Points Bar, small box that looks like a radar with bottom left portion is blue and sometimes appears next to the Rage crew icon during the game. Other times it disappears like when gun is reloading (it says reloading) then will appear again. Always wondered what it meant because it doesn't look like any associated crew skill working.
I just love having that Repair crew skills + the 30% module repair speed equipment on my drac, it just almost took 1 second to repair my tracks whenever someone de-tracked me
Does Penetration Boost skill activates randomly or theres a way to activate it? And how long does it last ? I see it sometimes on my screen but it lasts very short that I cant even make a clear shot. Any1 knows info about what im talking about?
13:45 you'll see it pop up after he takes the shot. It's a counter blue.. green.. Then 3rd shot RED.. to tell you the Next shot is the 4th shot that is guaranteed 25% more than you're max damage, which is HUGE, especially in heavier tanks. By you must make all the shots. It disappears if u miss or bounce a shot.
IMO The adrenaline rush skill is better than precision shot. I’m not saying precision in bad but the amount of times you end up low is higher for the rest of us compared to landing 3 shots in a row. Adren is also always gonna happen. Adren just as a reminder makes you fire significantly faster when your at 15% hp.
hasty shot in simplified terms is you have a chance to fire a super accurate shot even if it is not fully aimed. useful for quick peek a boo and running shots.
I don’t understand what the hasty shot crew skill does. It’s says “Gives a X% chance of making an accurate shot when dispersion is more than 100% of the minimum value.” That makes absolutely no sense to me. I understand that each gun has a dispersion value and that value increases when firing on the move, but I don’t understand what it means when it says “when dispersion is more than 100% of the minimum value”. Can someone please explain this in laymen’s terms? Thanks.
It’s for taking pop shots in something like a kv2, no time to aim just put the cursor on the enemy full bloom and fire. Gives a chance on a accurate shot
Another IMPORTANT tutorial video Martin, one that should be made clear of it's importance to all new players. Got mine all done bar 2 on lights, 1 on TD's and 2 on Meds @ LVL 6. All others are LVL 7. Good to see you mentioned the go 1st skills though, Mentor, Precision Fire, Repairs and Camouflage. All important, but active on all tanks does help as you mentioned.
Wish WG had instructional videos on this for new players. I always thought that it was the number of battles, not Crew skill XP, that counted here. And I hadn’t known that the anniversary tank crew XP went to this....thought it was just for training crew to 100%! Thanks Martin!
Great video, Martin. The Hasty Shot skill means that you have a percentage chance of hitting exactly where your crosshairs are aimed at the moment. Even if your reticle is the size of the entire screen, your dispersion is 0.0 if you hit your roll.
they should make it more clear that those skills can be applied to any class. When i was new I only upgraded 1 class thinking that they only apply to that class.
How should you train the skills? Should you train one for each or train all for each and in balance? Like for light tanks: should I train light tank precision fire up to level 7 only or train all simultaneously??
be blessed Martin Dogger sir of goodwill for always bringing these fun and informative videos to us, even if we are on bad days your videos always bring a smile to our faces.
sniper in simplified terms is yiu have a higher chance to damaging modules when firing directly at them. most useful for setting up fire or track locking for high dpm tanks.
thank you for sharing that. I did not know that you could accelerate by using the accumulated elite XP. I had well over 5 million. Now all but two of my crew skills are at level 5.
Thanks martin really helpful I don't like driving heavy tanks so I am lacking in my crew skills in that category I can see how going for certain crew skills can help 😁😊☺️👋
Haven’t even watched the vid yet, but I’d like to say its cool to see a guide on skills!! I’ve maxed almost all of them, but I’m sure newer players need to know about them lol. I’ve been playing since ’14 so I’ve had lots of time to grind skills haha
@RandomCommentor only elite tanks can train crew skills. Those tanks that have the little olive branch things flanking either side of the tank type symbol. So premium/collector tanks, or tech tree vehicles that you have researched all modules and the next tank of.
@RandomCommentor higher tiers tend to earn more XP per game, so if you have higher tier elite vehicles I’d play those. I also tend to have more fun in tiers 6-10 than I do 1-5 so idk… but fun is subjective.
Wait I thought that skills you trained in a light tank, for example, only affected you light tanks? Is this true? What about skills that aren’t maxed out? Do those only effect a specific tank type?
Thank you! Still learning the ropes in the game, and have learned a lot from your vids. I recommend anyone beginner or advanced who wants to learn more subscribe to@@MartinDogger
Every skill works on every tank all the time at whatever lvl you have them upgraded to. You ONLY can TRAIN 1 skill at a time, but they are all active all the time
I got concealment to VII.... *SNEAK 100* And believe me Type 64 just being a super scout tank afterwards.... 70% camo rating.... 70-80% camo rating.... as this tank alrd have like 50%
Do Boosters affect crew skills? Once I have 100% trained crew do the boosters affect Crew Skills training. I have 4000 boosters for the crew. Thank You
For players like me who already own most of the tanks in the tech tree, you will have accumulated millions of elite XP and millions of credits with absolutely no use for them. Or if you already own the tech tanks tanks that you really want and deem training of crew skills a better use of your credits, rather than buying tanks that you don’t really want, you can use the your credits for crew training. I think a lot of player don’t know that you can use a combination of elite XP and credits to greatly accelerate the training of your crew skills. If you don’t have credits or you would like to accelerate some of the most important crew skills, highlighted in this video, even faster, you can use a combination of elite XP and gold. Depending on how much elite XP you have available and how many more battles are needed to train a skill to the next level, will determine how many credits or how much gold is required. I was just able to jump straight from level 6 to 7 for a crew skill using elite XP and credits and eliminated the need to play about 1,500 more battles in that type of tank to get to level 7. Pretty cool use of elite XP and credits for those of us who have no other use for them.
After watching this video I realised how informative it was to new players would it be worth doing one on shooting tanks on the move them moving and you moving
I've got a next one planned about earning credits. Baiting shots from red tanks is the next one so I could maybe expand that to a bigger one on using your gun I guess
Thanks for your reply I have one idea for the game at the moment we get gold for watching ads maybe you could put it to wg that players could get gold for watching information video for you and others on how to play
@@impresssiveshot231 well, I have proposed that idea already but the problem is that WG won't make money when people watch these ads. the platform and technical has all been taken care of but it seems to the willingness on WG side that is holding it back from implementation
Do the crew skills apply to all tank types or do they only apply to the tank types you need to train them? E.g does the camo skill apply to a heavy once you get it
I think it is hard to justify Mentor beyond level 5. 1M xp for an 1% xp increase, which means you need to earn 100M xp to break even... that can almost get you all max crew skills!
LOL giggle Fest. DOGGER. Crying now. They will howl. As I climb the BRITISH LIGHTS. Merciless. They created me. FUNNY huh ? I'm on board. I'm versed in the SKILLS.
great tutorial. thanks. could someone please explain in more detail crew mastery vs crew skill? my lower tier tanks never had an option for crew mastery, but i think tier 6 came with an choice for 50, 75 or 100 % mastery
I have 2 accounts were I play World of tanks on. On my main account I can see crew next to my upgrades. On the other I can't see the crew. I can't even click on it because it's not even there. Please can someone help me? (Sorry for bad English btw)
I've played over 5 yrs now & only 3 tech tree tanks left and I've almost completed my Crew Skills. Need about 4 million more xp to complete my skills, lol....
Thanks for this mate. Used to have to watch Bushka's video on crew skills but its a bit out dated as it doesn't have stuff like Precision Fire 😁 Could you also make a vid on what circumstances to use various Equipment in?
Hey I don't know how to message you but could you do a video on tier 5-10 tech tree tanks that have attachments and legendary camos, thank you so much, love your videos very helpful
just wish you could've done a little more research before making this video. hasty shot, when activated, drops your dispersion to 0. mentor is not worth lvling after 4 or 5. the majority of your crew xp should come from elite xp. even at lvl 5, it would take years of play to break even on the exp spent. deadly accuracy is way too situational. most people would argue that it's the worst skill. i have no idea how you could put it on the same lvl of usefulness as increased vehicle traverse.
Good video even if already knew all these things , i watched it anyway , i prefer these videos instead of rant videos about "op" tanks that other youtubers do...
@@MartinDogger maybe a provisions and equipment video for different tanks like , which one to use on heavies,mediums etc.. still everything to help new players would be fine . Keep up the great work 👌
In 5 years time I've been playing this game, this is the first time there is an in depth video about crew skills. Wow Martin. Good job.

Agreed
VK 72.01 K ... o7
I nearly got all TD skills maxed at 7...
Perhaps I should stop camping bushes
Lmao😂😂
Do all the skills carry over if you max them? Let’s say you max sniper, does the next one automatically equip while keeping the sniper equipped?
@@Dave-jj3fk once you have ur crew skills maxed out at lvl 7,it applies to every tank at any time
Yo Martin ty for using my video again :P this is the KV2 player
I have zero TD skills trained. I didn't know learned skills are transferable to other tank types. Great info .
Great video... I’ve been playing for years and didn’t know about using elite xp for crew skills! Everyday is a school day!
Crew skills are most important thing if you want to improve your gameplay. Im so happy you made this video
Yes! Finally someone talks about something important to all players.
Same here after roughly 5 years, finally some detail and explanation for these skills, Thanks Martin
Martin you should also do a video on the increased armor attachment, how it works and whether it makes a difference
I don't consider myself a pro or a good player by any means but I'd say I know a lot about this game and better then the average player and have been playing for more then 2 years but even I didn't know that tanks of another class can use skills from another class
13:53 - what is the icon/symbol mean? It is just above the Hit Points Bar, small box that looks like a radar with bottom left portion is blue and sometimes appears next to the Rage crew icon during the game. Other times it disappears like when gun is reloading (it says reloading) then will appear again. Always wondered what it meant because it doesn't look like any associated crew skill working.
It's the precision fire it tells you how many shots landed it's goes blue green then red then your next shot has a chance of max damage
GREAT QUESTION!, You see it disappears when he misses a shot.
I just love having that Repair crew skills + the 30% module repair speed equipment on my drac, it just almost took 1 second to repair my tracks whenever someone de-tracked me
Much needed for new players, thanks Martin, you are amazing
Does Penetration Boost skill activates randomly or theres a way to activate it? And how long does it last ? I see it sometimes on my screen but it lasts very short that I cant even make a clear shot. Any1 knows info about what im talking about?
13:45 you'll see it pop up after he takes the shot. It's a counter blue.. green.. Then 3rd shot RED.. to tell you the Next shot is the 4th shot that is guaranteed 25% more than you're max damage, which is HUGE, especially in heavier tanks.
By you must make all the shots. It disappears if u miss or bounce a shot.
IMO
The adrenaline rush skill is better than precision shot.
I’m not saying precision in bad but the amount of times you end up low is higher for the rest of us compared to landing 3 shots in a row.
Adren is also always gonna happen.
Adren just as a reminder makes you fire significantly faster when your at 15% hp.

All crew XP goes to training crew skills after you have a 100% crew in a tank
I might be missing something but isnt soft recoil kinda useless unless your reloads faster than your aimtime?
Great video, Martin. The Hasty Shot skill means that you have a percentage chance of hitting exactly where your crosshairs are aimed at the moment. Even if your reticle is the size of the entire screen, your dispersion is 0.0 if you hit your roll.
As a tuba player, i have to say i love the music at the top of the video 😎 great video. thanks for good tips 👍
Martin Dogger, thank you for your video. Very helpful. Thank you.
so, i need help, for example, do light tank skills ONLY work on Light tanks, and do Heavy tanks work on ONLY heavy tanks?
Cameo is most important
they should make it more clear that those skills can be applied to any class. When i was new I only upgraded 1 class thinking that they only apply to that class.
How should you train the skills? Should you train one for each or train all for each and in balance? Like for light tanks: should I train light tank precision fire up to level 7 only or train all simultaneously??

elite xp can be used to train any crew skills with credits or gold with any tank that has laurel reef
Nice video,
I didn't know that "Mentor" actually are useful, I think mine is still level 2 because I didn't know what crew xp are for 😂😂
Very useful I don't know much about crew skills
Nice job but you need to have your tank at 100percent before you can use it to train crews
I have 360 epic crew XP boosters, so that won't be a problem :P
New to the game, saving up for tier 6 vehicle.... what tier does crew training start to apply? Cheers
thank you for sharing that. I did not know that you could accelerate by using the accumulated elite XP. I had well over 5 million. Now all but two of my crew skills are at level 5.

all types of certain nation? of certain tier? or just LT, HT, MT and TD
Were crew skills removed, or am I lost in the New UI and the new account
New account nvm
Mastered skill = max level?
I've been playing this game since it came out and this the first time I actually get how this even works 🤣
icon for crew skill is not appearing in my game
how to open them

Hasty shoot gives you a chance to hit exactly where you are pointing when your despersion is öve 100%

All the tanks are affected by the skills, its just about which skills are trained by which type of tanks
@@paatres94 you absolutely sure about that ??
@@dbullet1493 yep
How many tier tanks have crews?
Excellent video. Very usefull.
Wish I saw this one 4 years ago. Great advice
Crews appear only on high tier tanks ?
I don’t get what combo of tanks you need to see the crew option (icon) in the options section. I am on iPad.
You need to above tier V iirc to have the possibility to see your crew skills
Thank you! Still learning the ropes in the game, and have learned a lot from your vids. I recommend anyone beginner or advanced who wants to learn more subscribe to@@MartinDogger
Once we researched all that
Done all that 20 skill effect on all tank or only work on specific tank?
Every skill works on every tank all the time at whatever lvl you have them upgraded to.
You ONLY can TRAIN 1 skill at a time, but they are all active all the time
7% faster crew training requires investing 20% more of your crew training points. I think it is kind of a waste to go for that first.
Whats hapening with xrew XP after u reach all 7 levels? i see it acumulated, what is for?
Convert it to Free XP🤷
I got concealment to VII.... *SNEAK 100*

i was wondering, can we toon sometime?

hasty shot, when activated, drops your dispersion to 0.
mentor is not worth lvling after 4 or 5. the majority of your crew xp should come from elite xp. even at lvl 5, it would take years of play to break even on the exp spent.
deadly accuracy is way too situational. most people would argue that it's the worst skill.
i have no idea how you could put it on the same lvl of usefulness as increased vehicle traverse.
