Commanders! Over the past few years, the crew system in World of Tanks has gone through a series of important and meaningful changes. With Update 2.2, this long-term evolution reaches its final stage.
Ten new perks and several quality-of-life improvements complete the crew rework we've been developing for a couple of years. Now we're bringing the entire system in line with the vision we set out with: tactically rich, flexible, intuitive, and convenient for every commander—without changing its familiar core.
Discover the New Perks!
Update 2.2 introduces 10 brand-new perks—two for each major qualification. Check them out.
New Perks: The Basics
Every role now gains new tactical tools designed to shine in real combat situations. All perks are built around:
- Critical moments in battle
- Situational advantages and smart decision-making
- Different playstyles and vehicle classes
All existing perks remain unchanged, with the exception of a significant improvement to Reliable Placement. The new perks are considered final, though some values may still be fine-tuned in the future.
Quality of Life Improvements
Alongside the new perks, we're delivering several quality-of-life improvements that make crew management faster, simpler, and more convenient.
Removal of Unneeded Crew Members
A dedicated button in the Barracks lets you permanently dismiss crew members who don't have enough experience to learn their first perk, freeing up space. Note: This action is optional, clearly confirmed, and cannot be reverted.
Perk Reset for Credits
Reset perks in the Tank Academy without losing XP for 100,000—now you don't have to spend gold.
Crew Book Training for Premium Vehicle Crews
Train crews directly in Premium vehicles using Crew Books, with no need to move them to researchable tanks that the crew was trained for.
Perk Notification Control
Customize which perk notifications you see in the Garage—keep what matters, disable the rest.
