Crew & Officer Skills

[elrond2002]

Likely we'll have officer skills but from a realism perspective wouldn't it be a consideration to put in a level of crew skill? A new crew even with seasoned officers would still work at less efficiency as well as the reverse a seasoned crew and new officers. Take reloading of the main guns... you talk all you want about a fantastic officer it'll be the crew that is doing the lifting. The officers would more likely just affect the accuracy. Possibly you wouldn't qualify specific skills for a crew but just general skill level.

Even the current WoT crew system is far from reality(a 5-men tank driving, shooting and reloading slightly slower with only radioman surviving... seems highly legit). I don't think WG would overcomplicate simple officer system with needless 'crew' skills.

Actually.......the CO truly has an influence on thier crews efficency.  If you've ever worked in any environment such as a volunteer project, military or...well anywhere you have a leader;  you will notice the difference between a motivated and well led crew over a poorly one.

 

It's not the officer directly effecting what they improve...let say accuracy.  No, he's not in the turret aiming each gun, but he has set the bar higher among his crew and they are following his orders to the T.

Depends on the numbers. How much a well trained leader effects the rest of the crew and ultimately the ships effectiveness, over a poorly trained leader.

Please read the Devs Q&a section a bit more in depth before posting these things
