There are some premium tanks that have a really high XP multiplier, which will boost the crew XP even higher, but if you do terribly in those tanks/that play style, it doesn't really matter. Which tanks are best at training crews? The best crew trainers are the tanks you generally earn the most XP in. This multiplier for additional XP varies from one premium tank to the next, usually between an additional 10% to 70%. Premium tanks have an additional XP boost that increases the total XP earned, which applies before the crew XP boost of 25%. Premium and Elite tanks offer an additional 25% XP crew multiplier this comes standard with premium tanks, but to Elite a tech tree tank you need to research every package for that tank and each tank that it unlocks in the tech tree. Even if crew members die or your tank is destroyed, you still earn the same amount of XP. The amount of Crew XP you gain after a battle is equal to the tank's earned XP (the total XP value you see at the end of the round). If you move a crew to a new tank and the crew has to be retained for that tank, their base stats will be impacted and reduced based on the proficiency level the crew is reduced to (either 50% or 75%) - however, all previously trained skills and perks will operate at their normal proficiency - whatever skill/perk you were training will not resume training until the crew's proficiency reaches back to 100% and then skill/perk training will then resume.
Skills (like Repairs or Camo) will be incrementally beneficial while you train them, but perks (like Sixth Sense or Brothers in Arms) are only beneficial once full trained to 100% mastery. Once your crew's proficiency level is trained up to 100%, you'll begin training on skills and perks. It takes 24,157 XP to train a crew from 75% to 100%. The top stats listed for a tank will only be applicable if your crew is trained to 100%. A 50% crew will be less effective at reloading, spotting, maneuvering, etc as the tank's top stats indicate (based on a formula found here). 50%, 75%, or 100% crews - what's the difference?Ī crew's training level impacts the crews performance on all responsibilities and skills trained.
