Crew | Advanced tips World of Tanks Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Each tank in World of Tanks requires the full crew for maintenance. When we purchase new vehicle we can automatically recruits for it a crew on three different training levels or assign the new machine to existing crew. Our tankers will gain experience points in fights, which will increase their level and can be used to learn new perks and skills. Crew members have 5 specializations:

  • Commander - affects the sight range of the vehicle and increases experience level of other crew members
  • Gunner - improves aiming speed, accuracy and turret rotation speed
  • Driver-mechanic - thanks to him the vehicle accelerates better and is more maneuverable
  • Radio Operator - affects radio range
  • Loader - decreases reload time

In some cases (French AMX 50 100 for example), one person has two functions: in this case the commander is also a loader. If he gets one of perks available for second specialization, the after switching to other vehicle, where one of tankers is only a loader (like in AMX M4(1945)), commander won't be able to use previously learned skill). It is worth noting that tank statistics, indicated in the garage are calculated for the crew on 100% of experience level.

The crew can be moved freely between two tanks of the same nation, but if it won't be trained to use the new machine, that there will be some penalties affecting its experience level (25% means that the tanker with 80% of experience level will have 60% of experience level in the new vehicle):

Vehicle

Penalty

Same class, premium vehicle

0%

Same class, no premium vehicle

25%

Other class, premium vehicle

25%

Other class, no premium vehicle

50%

In order to compensate above penalties, we could re-train the crew for the new machine. Tankers will lose a bit of their experience but will be able to quickly catch up:

School

Price

Training level

Tank Academy

200 gold

100%

Regimental School

20000 credits

Same class of the vehicle: 90%

Another class of the vehicles: 80%

Minimum level of experience 75%

Rapid Courses

free

Same tier of the vehicle: 80%

Another class of the vehicles: 60%

Minimum level of experience 50%

We can also hire fresh recruits. They can start their work on one of three experience levels:

School

Price

Training level

Tank Academy

200 gold

100%

Regimental School

20000 credits

75%

Rapid Courses

free

50%

Choice between re-training and hiring new recruits usually depends on the final experience level of our tankers. In later stages of the game, when we have better tanks and our crew has few additional skills and perks, we will only re-train it for the new vehicle.
