Skill

Each crew member and commander can learn skills to improve their performance. Skills can be learned when leveling up through battle experience. Skills should be chosen based on a player's style of play and vehicle features, as some skills will perform better than others for certain vehicles. With correctly chosen skills, vehicles should become easier to operate, quicker to reload, or shoot more accurately.

Crew Skills

Each crew member earns reputation after every battle and may level up and learn skills associated with their role. All crews for newly purchased or never been played vehicles start out at level 1 and can be progressed to a maximum level of 5. The exception to this is some premium vehicles that already come with level 5 crews. Crews are locked to their vehicles and will stay with them even if you sell them. Upon buying a sold vehicle back you will find that the crew members will retain the reputation, level, and skills that they had earned during your previous play history with that vehicle.

Crew members can have a maximum of two skills. Skill points are gained when a crew member reaches level 2 and level 4. When a vehicle has a gunner/loader as one member, they may learn either gunner or loader skills. They will not however, be able to choose more than two skills despite filling two roles. Some vehicles (For example artillery) may have two loaders. In such a case, the loaders will be able to double up on skills, but the effect of their skills is halved compared to a vehicle with only one loader. So having both loaders take the same skill would be equivalent to a single loader on another vehicle picking that same skill. This halving also applies to the loader's passive skill.

Speaking of passive skills, all crew members have small boosts to vehicle performance based on their crew position and level. A crew member's passive skill(s) increases automatically every time they level up.

Commander Skills

Each commander has a set of skills organized into a 7 by 7 grid. Each time your commander reaches a level, they can learn one of the skills horizontally or vertically adjacent to any unlocked square on the grid. Once the commander is fully leveled, they will have fifteen grid squares unlocked in total.

There are four tiers of skills. The higher a tier a skill is the more effective or potent that skill is. Higher tiered skills also tend to be placed in such a way in the skill sets that you must make a choice between going through blank spaces or unlocking a certain amount of preceding skills before you can take them. The characteristics of the Tiers for the skills are as follows;

• Tier I: Tier I is the weakest tier of skills and have white outlines around their boxes. They are the "baseline" of all the skills at their lowest values. Despite being Tier I many of the skills are still helpful on your path to higher tiered skills, and getting something is a lot better than getting nothing in a blank space.
• Tier II: Tier II skills are a step above Tier I in potency and have their boxes outlined in green.
• Tier III: Tier III skills have gold outlines around their boxes and are the best skills you can get on a commander in terms of potency besides their core skill. Due to their large benefits or boosts, many Tier III skills are behind a line of preceding skills or otherwise only able to be gotten if you sacrifice some skill points on blank spaces. Take care when planning out your paths for these potent skills.
• Tier IV: Also known as Core Skills, the defining and main skill of commanders that they start with, Tier IV skills are the most powerful skills in the game. These skills improve by a small margin every time a commander levels up and count as the first unlocked skill or square for a commander.

In order to promote a commander to ranks higher than "Lieutenant" (level 10) you must first raise 2 commanders to the preceding rank (Experience earned whilst awaiting promotion is carried over to the new rank, when finally promoting the commander). This "chain of command" is required for every level above level 10 or "Lieutenant". The maximum rank a commander can achieve is "Colonel" (level 15). Due to the prerequisites of leveling up commanders past level 10 only a select few of your commanders will ever be able to reach maximum level.

Some skills can be learned by many different commanders, while others are exclusive to a certain commander. The chart below lists all commander skills and their effects, as well as which commander(s) can learn them.

Legacy Commander Skills (Prior to version 0.22)

Each commander has a set of skills organized into a skill tree with 5 tiers. Each time your commander reaches a level, they can learn one of the skills from the same tier as their new level. Once the commander is fully levelled, they will have five skills in total.

Every commander starts with their tier 1 skill when you get them. At level 3 and 5, there is only one skill to choose, but at level 2 and 4, you may choose one of two potential skills.

Some skills can be learned by many different commanders, while others are exclusive to a certain commander. This chart below lists all commander skills and their effects, as well as which commander(s) can learn them. The number next to each commander name is the tier at which they can learn that skill.
