    💠 CORRECTION: A wounded gunner and loader perform worse than their normal counterparts. So, your turret traverse and reload rate will be slower if those crew members are injured.
    ❤ HEALING: Gaijin has indeed added a healing mechanic, read more about it here: warthunder.com/en/news/8960-roadmap-following-the-roadmap-additions-in-the-second-major-update-of-2024-en

      The initial reason they added that stupid mechanics was to prevent and catch hackers.
      The idea was even if your wall hacking if the enemy isn’t rendered you can’t shoot them, or if you can it is blatant cheating thus easier to spot.

    I would personally argue that instead of 3 main stats you should focus on, Targeting should be considered a 4th main stat. Targeting is INCREDIBLY important in ground RB where your reflexes and time to aim at other tanks can oftentimes decide who lives and dies. And even if one uses a casemate, they'll never have a constant line-up of casemates where forever. Targeting is more important of an upgrade than weapon reloading, especially considering that it costs 3x less than it aswell.

    Radio Communication in Simulator battles affects how quickly you get a callback for the "checking for allies at location" when using your rangefinder on another vehicle.
    From memory, if you upgrade Rangefinding & Radio Communication in unison, finding the range will always be faster than the allied vehicle callback.

    -Targeting Quality also increases accuracy. That's why a "Reference" vehicle in test range feels so inaccurate.
    -Each repair time varies by caliber: Small caliber guns (20mm and such) have the fastest field repair time, then mid caliber (up to about 120mm), then vehicles with larger guns (above 150mm it seems) have the longest repair times. An expert large-caliber crew repairs at the same rate as a stock small-caliber crew.

  • @Screwypone
    @Screwypone 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    For lower tiers, I would try to get as much levels as possible up, at least up to the next tier cap, so that when I reach that tier, I can buy the expert crew straight away. So my loadout would usually look like half a bar in all skills. Getting expert crew essentially gives the bare minimum for repairs, which feels decent for now.
    After that? Targeting, to the max, always.
    Since I tend to end up in close quarters, this skill have saved countless games and got me to the top of the leaderboard often. Sometimes it even lets me survive an outnumbered situation, which usually just sends me to the top of the board.
    After that, it is all personal preferences. I like to be able to respond faster, and since the tank driving skill is cheap, that would be the next to max out.
    Otherwise, tank reloading and leadership is the next to max out.
    Once these three main skills are maxed, I would rush for field repairs. This skill has also saved a couple of matches because they weren't expecting me to counter attack so quickly. Also, I could run away earlier.
    And because nobody likes to sit duck for so long.

    targeting also affects the accuracy.
    also there are other issues others have pointed out.
    as for skill order, go for this:
    1, targeting. low tier guns are already horribly inaccurate, but you need the accuracy later too. faster aim is also important. hitting the target more reliably (and aiming at it faster) is the most important thing. you can have the fastest reload, it wont matter if your gun can't hit anything, let alone weak spots, and important areas
    2, reload. upgrade it to ~80% ASAP, then you can go to the others. you can return later to this
    3, agility. distribute it evenly on the crew members
    4, repair. same as agility
    5, leadership
    6, vitality. in this order: gunner, driver, commander, loader, radio operator
    after this, whatever you want.

    Also, for ACE you only need that level to get it from golden eagles. You can grind the vehicle before that. I got 2 aced crews on lvl 29 on 2 rank 3 vehicles, while the game was saying I needed lvl 50 to buy ace with golden eagles

  • @AlphaHorst
    @AlphaHorst 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    ah yes WTs biggest P2W feature which gets even more agressive next patch when you will face 2 minutes of repair with an untrained crew. or simply spend 30 bucks per crew to get them to a decent level....or play 300h for the same effect(if you are decent enough of a player)
    also at 2:40. A wounded crew member DOES NOT perform the same as a non wounded crew member. A red gunner will slow your turret traverse as well as gun traverse significantly while a wounded loader will reduce your reload rate. For example an Expert full reload KV 2 has 32s of reload, with a red loader it has 46s reload. with a dead loader it has 62s reload (reload penality is twice your reload time because obviously your tanks commander or any other crew member has never in their life even touched a gun and can therefore not be expected to perform just as good as a fucking first day green loader would)
    also for the Exp grind. Only base RP count. (The number which pops up when you actually do sth in a match).If you have a good 10 minute game in your T72 and earn 10k RP you will not earn 100exp. You will have eraned around 50. Because booster bonus, activity bonus and skill bonus RP do not count!

Keen vision has nothing to do with render distance that is a mistake. I know for a fact I’ve seen tanks render in at 1500-2000m with lvl 1 keen vision in 3rd person. I’ve had them disappear inside 500m as well

      Tbf It could be because of "visibility" of tanks. Meaning that Maus has 200% while a t 34 has like 80% maybe it has something to do with this. Although I think I also never really had problems with invisible tanks

    Fast way to get crew to max and Easy is play Heli PvE and learn how it is and what to do and once you do stack a bunch of boosters but remember 1 booster only lasts for 30 minutes so best thing to do in PvE is use a 5 pack of booster or 10 pack and if you are playing top tier Heli a 3 pack booster is good because top tier match last no more than 1 hour and most the time its a tiny bit over a half hour.
    This mode cranks up crew points specially with booster because the crew points are gained by XP and the more XP you receive in that mode the more crew points you get. Now for me I receive over 2k crew points a game and it actualy use to be a hell of a lot more but Gaijin realized that players took advantage of it BIG time.
    On average if you have premium time and a premium heli of top tier you can make usually a little bit over 1k. Still, now if you own the first rank of helicopters and premium one like the Mi-24D any rank 5 Heli gets you bank in XP(crew points) only because the matches last an hour and a half to even 3 hours if a most the team drops out and that right there makes CRAZY amounts of XP(crew points). I use to walk out of a PvE match when the mode started with no less than 3800 to 4200 crew points but now Gaijin toned it down and its more like 2800 max give or take.
    No lie this mode got me maxed out crews the fastest once I learned the PvE mode and that really doesn't take to much time. Even though it can be boring and thats if you are one of the people that just go and bomb bases when they show up in which return you usually don't die anymore because they don't spawn Spaa on the bases anymore like they use to and those Spaa use to max up the points for bombing/killing a base but nope not anymore because Gaijin took them away. Anyways its probably the fastest way to gain crew xp and no lie its probably the cheapest and easiest way but just time consuming but its faster than pretty much any other way.

  • @jacobbellamy7640
    @jacobbellamy7640 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Sorry, I'm still really confused about what happens when you have missing crew roles and what happens when you have double up on roles.
    You said you still get the skills applied even if crew are missing. Is that because another crew member takes on two jobs like commmander + gunner, and if they get taken out you lose both? Or do you only lose the skill bonuses for their primary job?
    You said that if a crew member dies, someone moves to cover their role, and the skill bonus towards their previous job is lost. But someone still has to be doing that job don't they? If you have a gunner, driver, and loader, and then the driver dies, you can still shoot drive and reload after a crew member has swapped over.
    In the case of two crew of the same job, like having two loaders, I know you said that reload rate isn't affected but what about the general skills like repair speed?
    If losing crew always reduces the value of the general skills, does that mean the reported value for the agility skill is always wrong because it requires you to lose a crew member for it to take effect?

    • @skDoger
      @skDoger  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Think of the skills and the crew members as separate things. When you upgrade skills, you're giving your tank benefits, not your crew. If a tank doesn't have a commander for example, nobody in there takes his job, and the commander's skills are permanently applied to the vehicle. Also for the double loaders, both of them need to die in order to lose their skills. For your last question about agility, I never really thought about that, so I'll have to look into it further.

    Still confused about keen vision. I keep upgrading keen vision on the gunner and commander thinking they would spot a tank quicker and engage faster. Am I doing what's best for quickly seeing the opposition? Thanks for the tutorial. Coming from WOT...what a learning curve.

    • @skDoger
      @skDoger  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      War Thunder's spotting mechanics aren't like WoT's. You can see most tanks up to a certain distance, with or without keen vision. In arcade mode though, it lets you see the red markers on top of enemy vehicles at a longer distance. This can definitely help you engage them faster, but only in arcade mode.
      Also, you don't need to upgrade it on only the gunner and commander, the keen vision skill is shared across all the crew members. It's best to spread out your points to all your crew for generic skills like those.
