With version 7.2, we plan to release an extensive update to the Crew Skills system in World of Tanks, providing a plethora of new customization options for your tank crews, which will help to make your crew unique and beneficial for your style of gameplay.
Though version 7.2 development is ongoing, we wanted to share this information with you to begin receiving feedback on the new Crew Skills and how they will work.
New Skills
22 new additions are currently scheduled for version 7.2. They will be broken down into two types: skills and perks.
Skills – These are in effect immediately upon the start of training. They improve in effectiveness as you increase the percentage of training in the skill.
Perks – These are activated once you have reached 100% training.

If all crew members have this perk, they receive a bonus to all of their skills. This perk will only be active once it has been trained to 100%. Perk does not work if any member of the crew is knocked out.
Please note that the above-mentioned skill names are subject to change and may differ upon 7.2 release.
Training
The training of these skills will be done through a new user interface element that will allow you to place skills in a training queue. This will result in immediate training of a new skill, once your current skill reaches 100%, leaving no risk of wasted battle experience.
There is no cap to the number of skills a specific crewman can have – limited only by the number of skills existing in the game. However, additional skills beyond the first will take two times longer to train than the previous skill.
Additionally, if you have not chosen skills for training, any experience gained by your crew will be stored in a separate experience pool and distributed automatically once you select skills you would like to advance.
Training for additional specialties and perks cannot be accelerated by any in-game currency.
Respecialization
When version 7.2 is released, all players will receive the option of a “soft reset” at no additional charge. You will be able to reset the chosen skills for each crewman currently assigned to tanks or in your barracks.
The experience they have gained to that point will be stored into a separate pool and will be redistributed to new skills as you assign them. For example, if your crewman currently has 100% skill in Repair and 100% skill in Camouflage, you will have the experience from both of those skills stored – able to be distributed to the skills of your liking.
We will also be introducing a new experience redistribution feature for your tank crew that works similarly to retraining a crewman.
Gold reset – Returns full skill experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.
Credit reset – Returns 90% of experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.
Free reset – Returns 80% of experience earned to the crewman’s experience pool, removing progress in current skills.
We hope this sneak peek into the new Crew Skills system will help you to begin planning your progression paths through the new skills. Stay tuned for more information on version 7.2 in the coming weeks.
