4saken404, on Feb 22 2012 - 19:46, said: Will the rate of crew XP be changed from the current system? Currently (according to the wiki) it takes 210,064 xp to get your first skill to 100%. Going with "However, additional skills beyond the first will take two times longer to train than the previous skill" that means if your second skill is a perk it would be over 600,000 total xp before you could even use it. And a third skill would take over 800,000 more experience to gain! Is this correct? I'm an average player and that works out about 4,500 battles just for that one vehicle.
MORE INFORMATION ON THIS PLEASE! The current MM system is so bad that many of us have considered a money boycott (not buying gold) until the MM issue improves. The skill changes look very nice, don't get me wrong, but the MM situation is a critical flaw in the game for mid tiers (4-7).


Parka, on Feb 22 2012 - 19:48, said: As predicted, this new skill system favours tanks with more crew members. Having 6 crew members gives you way more diversity in skills/perks than having 3 crew members. Wargaming shows once again how they fail at game balance.
Not to mention the fact that the "Hunch" perk is going to be greatly imbalanced for french tanks. Just spam back and forth between AP and gold AP until you get an instant reload. Offload the new clip and do it again.

I thought it would be better to implement the US vehicle update by itself, then a separate patch for the new skills, then MM improvement, then new economics.
Push them out at regular intervals instead of making us wait half a year to a year and then get overwhelmed with new contents.

Maybe you were told Q1 but the website with the 7.2 features clearly said Feb. 2012 and was then changed to Q1 2012. If you guys are taking longer than expected, TELL US!. Don't edit your posts or tell us you have always been saying this when you really have not. We can understand delays if there is a reason. Like your American Heavy models were delayed because there was a redesign. Most people here do not know that because it only showed up as a tiny note in some talk with the devs.
Stop lying. Communicate. Everyone will be happy.

Right now my most played tank has about 750 battles and I dont have the original 3 skills max'd. Granted, I dont only play 1 tank but after 4 months, I dont even have 3 skills, how long will it take to accumulate 8?

I kinda feel like a donkey following a carrot, or a WoT gamer following the 7.2 update...
T34 and T30 waiting in the garage, crews at 100%, all ready for the update! The wait is killing me, but I've got my Tiger II to keep me entertained

brojones, on Feb 22 2012 - 19:24, said: Not many arty friendly skills.
Currently arty only really needs camo so there's plenty of room for other skills. Firefighting and repair aren't needed. The radio skills seem redundant since the high level radios have no trouble reaching across the map.
Brothers-in-arms seems like it could be useful for its Ventilation-like effect.
Possibly Cruise Master if it reduces the dispersion when traversing the hull.
Maybe Hunch, if you want to switch to AP for an incoming tank or whatever reason.
Something like High Arc and Low Arc for arty would be cool.

Steel_Viper, on Feb 22 2012 - 19:23, said: I need a clarification.
Currently i was under the assumption that if you wanted to repair the fastest, or have the best camo rating, all of your crew needed to be at 100%.
Many of these new skills say they "Only the highest trained level of this skill will be in effect if multiple crewmen have the skill trained," so does that mean the same will happen to repair and camo now? Or will you still need a full 100% crew to be most effective on the original skills?
