AFAIK prem tanks are elite tanks too. That will be a great feature and im all excited about spending 18mil exp on crew skills.
However id like to point out that no one ever said it will come in 4.3 as another topic's title suggests. Zloyyd said "in the nearest updates". To me that sounds like 4.4 and beyond.

First I wanna say that an introduction of crew skills level 7 is nice BUT

 

• the cost for level 7 looks way too low.
• being able to use combat xp on elited tanks makes the grinding of crew xp ridculously easy.

I'd agree with the first point, absolutely, but the second helps those who play tanks more rather than the muppets rushing up the tiers, who have zip on their elited tanks

The first picture shows level 1 being researched or did you mean the 1.1mill xp for level 7 on the right of the second pic?

This is what he means, I think; achieving Crew Skills to level 7 is as easy as 1 2 3...

Earlier the cost for each level of crew exp increased almost exponential. Now the increase of cost between level 6 and 7 is only 10 %.

There are indeed, and the long-term players amongst us have squillions of them on tanks we elited (fully researched all modules and researched the next tank in the line). The little silver wreath indicates this. I like this a lot.

 

well thank you my good man, I never understood the wreath thing.

Well...it is 10% but lets not forget that its 10% of 1mil exp. IMO it's fair.

But those who have got to level 6 will be pretty damned good already, so will be able to get to level 7 in no time. Seems counter-intuitive to me.

However players just starting the game now are going to be a bit more disadvantaged.  Maybe they won't notice.

 

Spot on. And as if they exactly needed to be in more disadvantaged position vs. those who have honed their skills for years and have better equipment, crew skills too...

And this favours cautious players and de-noobers.

Therefore, assuming you value a given crew skill, it's better, from a cost-effective perspective, to increase a crew skill up to lvl-7, rather than just lvl-6?

Yes, a buff to sealclubbers.  Relatively less so if they were re-rollers.  I wonder if crew skill boosters will be later discounted?

 

I think I've accidentally benefitted from this upcoming change, as I always liked to try out the complete range of guns available to a vehicle.  In doing so, I have elited all my non-premium vehicles probably as rapidly as possible.  Without realising until reading this thread the significance of the silver wreath.

There's something new every day. Recently, I noticed that the wreath appears (or not) even in the tank icon when you pick tanks for platooning. And you can also see whether your platoon mate's tank is elited or not...

Niceeee

[Ol1o31]

You’ve just fcked up the game again. FV4202 was MEANT and MADE to have good pen !! You’ve ruinded it. And your still keeping your changes to the T95 ?? Even an is3 can pen it from the front now idiots. A famous tank for its speed and armor fcked gg. With it’s fin armor you could give it a 50 km/h speed

[RibbleStripe]

I guess many players wonder what next update will feature. Here we slightly open the curtain )

So, in update 5.2 you'll find:

• new map "Faust";
• ribbons - new feature designed to help you track your actions in battle;
• replays and spectator mode improvements;
• balance adjustments announced here;
• and some other changes we'll tell about in patchnote.

[StrikeFIN]

Ribbons :o those are nice, like on Console and WoWS.

[EndToast_LOCA]

Sounds pretty good so far

Yes, but all the dancers are from Saudi Arabia - they are all wearing black hijabs and the ribbons are all green.
