Skills and Perks in World Of Tanks
In World of Tanks Skills and Perks play a big role. Without them, the game would be strange and incomplete. In this guide I will try to explain in simple words why it is important to have an “experienced” crew, which skills to choose first, and when you may need a 50% crew. Let’s forget about Crew 1.0 😉
Update 2.2
Thougts about New Crew Perks in Update 2.2 is below Tanks Crew Perk Sets.
Repair and Brother in Arms – these are the main skills that you should have on your tank! I’ve heard that some people don’t learn Repair on commander, this is wrong, Repair must be for all crew members. Explanation: if you read the description of skills like Repair and Camouflage, you will se that the effective Repairs/Camouflage Skill Training Level is averaged across the entire crew. If only one Crew member in a crew of 4 members has this Skill at 80% Training Level then the effectiveness upon the vehicle’s performance is (80+0+0+0)/4 or 20%. So if you will have 4 Crew members, all they have Repairs/Camouflage, but Commander doesn’t, it will be (0+100+100+100)/4 = 75%. That means your Repair will be longer, and this is unacceptable for efficiency and your performance in battle. In simple words it is not effective to leave one of the crew member without those skills.
Below I will show which sets, in our opinion, will be the most effective for each type of tank:
Note: Perks are arranged in order of decreasing importance. If you need camouflage on some tanks, simply replace the last 6th perk. If some crew members have +other role (Bonus perks) just watch perks after Brothers/Repair/Camo of that crew member
Light tank
Medium tank
Heavy tank
Tank destroyer
SPGs / Artillery
As you can see all of the types have Repair and Brother in arms skills. And almost all of them have the same sets. These skill sets are designed for both aggressive and ambush play styles.
For Tank Destroyers i can add: There is two main types of TD – Assault and Sniper. In the set above perks are more suitable for Assault TD. For Sniper Tank Destroyers i recommend swap Concealment and Repair.
Also I recommend to learn Brother In Arms skill for Arty as a first skill because this is the only effective skill for this type of tank, next is Concentration and Snap Shot.

Hold the Line – Increases the crew efficiency bonus by 5% while the enemy team has at least three more vehicles in battle than yours.
Hold the Line – Increases the crew efficiency bonus by 5% while the enemy team has at least three more vehicles in battle than yours.I think this perk could be tested as a buff to team that are loosing. In cases where this perk will be usefull it will be hard to realize it’s potential and will be useless if you winning. Will be more effective in competitive modes when teams have less than 15 players. Probably should choose perk that will work always instead.
Stay Sharp – Increases the crew efficiency bonus by 5% for 15 s after using a First Aid Kit. Allows a First Aid Kit to be used even if no crew members are injured.
Free bonus to crew efficiency that can be activated almost every minute. Will be most usefull for Magazine loaders and Autoloaders.

Point Blank – Increases maximum potential penetration by 5% when firing at enemy vehicles

Point Blank – Increases maximum potential penetration by 5% when firing at enemy vehicles The amount of open maps won’t let you use this perk as much as you want. Can be usefull if you in +1-2 tier battles.
Lone Wolf – Decreases gun dispersion and increases aiming speed by 5% while there are no allied vehicles within a 300 m radius.
Lone Wolf – Decreases 300 metres is a solid distance and situations where this perk will be activated is when your team is pushing OR you have couple allies in defend while loosing. In both situations you should be with your team not far away. Don’t put it in SPG crew because if you won’t be only SPG in the team it will be more usefull to have Side by Side perk activated.
Driver
Field Support – Increases suspension repair speed by 15% at distances of less than 50 m
from an allied vehicle.
Can be usefull on slow super heavy tanks like Maus, Taschenratte, Type 5, T95, T110E3 and Tortoise, Badger, Breaker.

Loader

Will be usefull on tanks that have more than 10 secons reload. Don’t put it on Magazine loaders and Autoloaders.

Threat Search – Increases view range by 2% for 5 s after receiving
the Sixth Sense alert.
Threat Search – Increases Probably for low-mid tier tanks with low view range will be helpfull.
Back in the days when esports thrived in the game, pro players used one very simple trick. In order to confuse the enemy when capturing his base, the players on light tanks that captured put 50% of the crew on him, but with all the perks, so that the Sixth Sense skill would work for the enemy as late as possible. Thus, it was not clear where the light tank was on the captured base, and it was impossible to hit it with blind shots. But it is also impossible to light him up because it is covered by allies. Thus, the enemy had only two ways, either you accept defeat and give to capture the base, or lose tanks in an attempt to spot a tank that captures the base.
Anyway,
use this sets and you will be more effective than your teammates. But remember, even if you have fully trained Crew, this is not give you 100% that you will win every battle. Only YOUR skill is matter, only YOUR skill can bring you to the victory!
