Expert crew qualifications are important because they give you a flat out +3 on every skill. Because of this, I think the best way to level out crews is to first get each crew to a level where you can buy expert qualifications for the tier of your vehicle. This means, instead of directly putting points in the most critical (and the most expensive) skill slots, it's better to spread out crew points evenly, even on the "dump stats". Putting points in crew skills that are cheap to upgrade allows you to quickly get the crew to a level where you can buy Expert qualification. The +3 skill increase from Expert crew gets you to a higher skill level in critical skills faster than if you just put points on the critical skills alone. After you have reached a level where you can get Expert qualification for your vehicle of choice, then you should focus on putting crew experience points on the critical skills. For planes, that would be G-Force Tolerance, Stamina, and Weapon Maintenance (and for gunners, Precision and Accuracy). For tanks, it would be gunner's Targeting skill, loader's Reloading, commander's Leadership, and possibly driver's Driving skill (though that is debatable), and secondary skills would be Agility and Field Repairs on all crew members, followed by Vitality and Keen Vision. Ace qualification, by contrast, is not *as* important but it can still give an edge on planes that rely on sustained high-G turns. That said I would not waste Golden Eagles on Ace crews. Rather I just play a vehicle and eventually get the Ace crew upgrade for free.
@paktahn
4 ай бұрын
i think that all depends on what teir you are playing at and if you are not one of the thousands of retards that bought their way into higher tiers if you are naturally progressing through the tree then imho if you dont have premium putting points into repair speed and repair rank while turning off auto repair is the first priority as it affects air land and sea vehicles and will save a shit load of sl especially if you play more than one nation by the time you get to the higher tiers you should have enough points to unlock expert crew also using crews for specific aircraft types like bombers help because a fighter crew needs no points for gunners until you get to higher tiers to unlock expert which i believe requires crew level 60 if you max out the repair speed and rank its enough a head start for naval and ground if you are planning to play those with the same crew i fully agree about not using ge to ace a crew you would be better of using that ge for a talisman if it is a vehicle you are going to play alot as it will earn you much more rp and you will get the ace crew for free even faster

Apparently IRL viper pilots need to be able to sustain 9G for 30 seconds in order to remain eligible to fly it. A lot of them can go longer than 30sec. Taking into account the way gaijin models aircraft (in RB anyway) to pull ~1.5x their real-world limits, i don't think it's too much to ask that expert crews be able to do hard pulls of >9Gs for 30sec before losing control, and Ace crews (the best of the best) longer than 30sec.

I have a few decently trained gunners that are really solid, where by default they feel borderline useless.

Upgrading to Expert already make a difference and better when Ace . I play mainly Bombers because of high ping i have ( 230 minimum lol ) I am far from the servers .

I'm thinking about maxing crews on event vehicles such as the Obj 279, Moderna and the Tornado Marineflieger all of which i know i will be using in the future (esp. the 279, it's fun when they try to bomb you over and over and most of the time nothing happens :D)but right now i set saving up for the 50% off sales as priority. I think there should be a 50% off on crew expert trainings more often than it was in the past as those tend to be expensive at higher ranks, maybe even a universal consumable to put an 50% off on a certain selected vehicle the same way universal backups work except you get a sale similar to personal discount coupons from battles.

TLDR quantify the differences instead of just seeing that it is a bit better but you don't really know by how much.

Allow me to add my two cents as someone, who played quite a lot of 10.0+ matches, where high crew levels are pretty much necessary. I think that Ace crews are not good value for money. Most jets, even ones with very high AoA (aka jets that pull really hard) like the MiG-21, the Mirage 2000 or the Gripen for that matter are manageable with just a regular max level crew. That being said if you want to really have top tier dogfights and push your airframe to the limit, you need an expert crew. A normal max level crew just does not cut it. That being said unless want to full send with max elevator pull for as long as possible (which is generally very rare as preserving as much speed as possible for as long as possible and using positioning tends to be the safest way to dogfight), an expert crew is really all you actually need. Also, consider that the expert qualification gives you 3 levels in all skills (except repair rank) while the ace qualification gives you two levels on a single plane. You could get a talisman or a lower level premium for that, both of which are far better value for money, premium planes (especially once a sale comes around) in particular. This is just my opinion (yes, I am biased), but I have played quite a lot and my opinion is mostly from experience. So, it really depends on how you play in the end.

Crew skill has to be up there as my most hated mechanic. It just doesn’t scale properly and when working through a tree it’s easy to get to jets without having them maxed out. Then you just get to play with a ridiculous handicap. Even worse in those early mid jets without flares where manoeuvring hard is your only counter to missiles. Add in that that gaijin has gone mad for high tier premiums I think it’s just this horrible handicap that almost forces you to spend cash just to get a chance. Basically it’s a mechanic that worked in the game ten years ago, now it’s god-awful.

Definitely. At best, it’s an advantage for players who really don’t need it. At worst it’s just another pay-to-win mechanic.

You explained Repair speed and Reload speed quite poorly. They both speed up how fast you can repair and rearm on an airfield in realistic battles. Maxing them out can give you a reload and repair speed of about 10 to 15 seconds.

Specifically about Expert crew, it simply cost as much as the plane did. You'd think it'd wost as much as training your crew, maybe double, but nope, it's the price of the aircraft.

You are kidding yourself if you think crew skills aren't P2W and make a difference. A fresh pilot in a jet or even a late ww2 plane can't even pull a turn without passing out early into it. The only equalizer and why it's hated is an unseen incoming missile, unless the basic crewed plane gets a perfect pass a gun-kill is almost impossible.

100% crew skill = 50% crew skill maxed + 30% expert + 20% ace I don't think spending GE on a +20% is a good idea, spending on crew skill is valid, though you'll get it if you just grind a tree anyway, but it is understandable, you should at the very least wait for rank IV before you commit with expert and maxed crew you already have 80% of the max, I don't think the remaining 20% is that significant

IMO, dont sleep on crew skills. Especially mid tier vehicles that most new players are still playing. Its almost criminal compared to the crew that those new players are using. Feels like seal clubbing sometimes lol.

Honestly they should remove ace and expert because the basic is actually realistic but people think turning harder is more exciting so it would never happen

My question is does it matter for low tier. I have the P-40-E-1, P-39-k1 and I would like to know if it is worth acing them. I play them a lot so I'm wondering if I should ace them now or continue grinding and ace them for free eventually.

For low-tier stuff, it depends more on your playstyle. The question to ask is "are you blacking out CONSTANTLY, for like 3-5 seconds at a time, or only blacking out sometimes?" If yes. *might* be worth it for you.
