Regarding the born leader “buff” in the patch notes, I’m not sure it’s really needed? It’s already a very strong skill, so I’m not sure it needs to compound the effect of other skills with it? Just basic 10% crew performance increase is probably more than enough.

Everything already has laser accuracy, RB/RT meta isn’t that fun when a heavy snaps you across the map going full speed. Same with reload and DPM.

Also another thing is that its bad for new players. I have 9 skill crews on absolutely every tank I play, and would benefit most. New players won’t, and so born leader would be way less powerful for them, as opposed to the experienced players with full 9 skill crews. I’d suggest considering whether the change is going to be a positive one in terms of gameplay and new players.

it's called balancing. Sixth sense can't be the best skill for ever 😂

#

new will have even more disadvantages

abstract basalt
#

it technically isn't a buff cause thats what it should have been doing in the first place

real kernel
#

That’s why I put “buff”

prime oar
real kernel
#

That isn’t my point…

#

Regardless of what it should’ve been when it was released. It isn’t really needed

#

10% boost to crew performance alone is too much tbh

prime oar
#

Well regardless of that fact that yes it's technically "OP"or "gamebraking" since it boost crew and skills people still like using it, although I'll give you that it's more of like a crutch skill than anything else, if you don't have it you're at a pretty big disadvantage

real kernel
#

Yeah, exactly. And the changes are only going to benefit experienced players with 9 skill crews

mystic trout
#

@real kernel what are they doing to it?

#

Oh nvm, just saw it rn

#

Yeh that’s really dumb

real kernel

real kernel
#

Chieftain is 5.5 without now. So with AR, in theory it should be 4.7 😂

rough plaza
#

Have you tested with last stand equipped as well?

mystic trout
#

How much does last stand give?

#

Also I thought it was removed from the game?

rough plaza
#

25% to crew performance

mystic trout

No

That’s how trash the new season is

But new players have never stood a chance against players with experience. In Build 5.0 upskilling took time and commitment to the game. After 1 year my crew skills increased and it was an interesting aspect of the game especially after you had made a tank elite. If you take away all crew skills new players would still suffer at the hands of experience players.

real kernel
#

But why widen the gulf between experienced players and new players?

midnight quartz
#

Compounding with other skills was how it worked before 6.0

mystic trout
#

Other skills weren’t busted op pre 6.0, were they now?

midnight quartz
#

I mean, some of them were? Not to the same degree

#

But even a 4-8 skill crew gave you a massive advantage over those with 0 skill crews

mystic trout
#

It would be large but not massive enough

#

Now over someone with 0 skill, you have 10% better reload, 10% better accuracy and such

#

All those skills are like stacking extra equipment pieces on a tank

#

You also only need one commander per nation since the transfer is very low cost and most desirable perks are the same

#

I'm confused I already thought 10% to crew skills buffed all crew skills by 10%. I think the recent wording is confusing--meaning nothing has changed except the wording.

real kernel
#

Max said it wasn’t just the wording that changed

#

It used to be 10% to crew performance

#

Now it’s 10% boost to skills too

vernal peak
#

It definitely has changed

deep tangle
#

Thanks, I always get the born leader along with 6 sense. Most skills will go up 1% (from 10%).
