More on new skills contained in 0.7.2 patch

For upcoming 0.7.2 patch, WG is planning to introduce 22 new skills, skills that will be dived in two groups. One group will contain skills, that will start working from 1% and will gradually increase until it reaches 100% when it will be at it highest efectiveness level; and perks, these will only be effective when it will reach 100% training.


Commander


Jack-of-all-trades - Skill
Commander has learned all specializations and can replace knocked out members of his crew. This works only for the base specialization. Effectiveness of the skill is proportional to the number of wounded crew members.



Tutor - Skill
All crew members besides the commander gain additional battle experience, based on the level of this skill.



Eagle Eye - Skill

Maximum view range is increased with the training of this skill. If the observation devices are damaged, skill effectiveness is increased.

Expert - Perk
When aiming at a vehicle, a list of all its damage will be shown.




Driver

Ace - Skill

Off Road Master - Skill

Ramming Master - Skill
Increases the damage done by ramming enemy vehicles and decreases damage done to player’s vehicle. This bonus is not in effect when ramming vehicles from the same team and immobile vehicles



Neatnik - Perk

Steady Hands - Skill

Hunch - Perk
When reloading a shell of a different type, there is a chance the shell will be instantly loaded. Instant loading cannot occur more than once before a full reload cycle has completed. If multiple crewmen have this perk trained, the effectiveness will be summed. Only the highest trained level of this perk will be in effect if multiple crewmen have the perk trained.

Last Ditch Attempt - Perk
When your vehicle is destroyed, but the radio operator is not killed, he continues to transmit the coordinates of enemy vehicles for a short time. Only the highest trained level of this perk will be in effect if multiple crewmen have the perk trained.


All crewmen

Brothers-in-arms - Perk
If all crew members have this perk, they receive a bonus to all of their skills. Perk does not work, if any member of the crew is knocked out.





Training of crew members:
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 a 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.


Respec of crew members:
When version 7.2 is released, you 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 you had 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.
