Commander

The commander UI.

Commanders are a separate fighting unit, forming part of the vehicle's crew and acting as a key element of any team. In contrast to regular crew members, the commander can switch from vehicle to vehicle and will have their own unique system of development. Each commander is a completely formed character with their own biography, history, portrait and personality traits. Each player gets three commanders at the start of the game. Later on this number can be increased. Commanders can be recruited with game currency, by achieving certain levels or by carrying out special missions.

Characteristics

Players will improve a commander's characteristics independently. As battle experience increases, the commander will increase their level and with each level gain a certain number of points that can be used to improve different characteristics. Also as higher levels are achieved, there will be access to new skills that can be learned. Each time a player will be able to choose one of up to two available skills and in this way they can create a commander with a unique set of improvements.

• Competency - reduces the chances of crew members becoming disabled when the vehicle is damaged.
• Leadership - increases the level of different crew member skills.
• Determination - a skill that increases loading skill level, if the commander combines this duty with the main duties. This characteristic also allows the commander to replace crew members that have been disabled.
• Perception - increases the field of vision of the tank while the commander is aboard.

Skills

Main article: Skill

Commanders will have several skills available from which a player can choose. A typical commander has 7 skills, split into 5 Tiers. Each time your commander levels up, they can choose a skill from the appropriate tier. Where there are two skills to choose from, you can only choose one.

Features

Commanders have their own qualification levels. The narrower the commander's specialization with a certain tank, the higher the maximum level of improvements available to them and the more character points they receive per level.

• Generalists - These Commanders can use a wide variety of vehicles and you will receive three Generalist commanders when you begin the game. These Commanders are limited in their growth but are quite flexible in terms of vehicle roles.
• Veterans - These commanders are less common than Generalists and are more limited in their usability; for example, limited to a specific range of tiers and roles. So a Veteran Commander might be limited to Tier 1-3 AFVs/TDs.
• Specialists - Specialist Commanders have a narrower range of vehicles that they can drive and are generally limited to a single role. For example, a Specialist Commander might only be able to work in Tier 7-8 MBTs. Specialists gain 5 Stat Points per level as opposed to the 2 that Generalist and Veteran Commanders gain.
• Masters - Master Commanders are the rarest and restricted Commanders in Armored Warfare and can only command between 1 and 3 vehicles. They gain 6 Stat Points per level, the most out of any Commander class. Obtaining a Master Commander will be a significant accomplishment for players as they will become available only at level 50.
• Exclusive - unique commanders who players can get only during special events. Their characteristics may differ or correspond to any level of qualification from Generalists to Masters. Players will be able to get 2 of these exclusive commanders before the game launches.
