Skills are organized into Skill Fields of various shapes and sizes. Let’s take a look at them a bit closer before we explain the details of the new progression system. Skill points can be invested on each commander’s detailed screen into additional bonuses called Skills. The progression speed is roughly equal to vehicle progression and the amount of Commander XP obtained is equal to the standard Experience obtained from battle, including bonuses such as Premium Time.Įach Rank (often referred to as “level”) comes with a skill point.

The more you play with a commander, the more experienced he or she becomes. There are 15 commander ranks in the game, ranging from Sergeant Third Class to Colonel – earlier, there were only 5 and the conversion described in a separate section of this Developer Diary.Ĭommander ranks are gained by collecting Commander Experience (furthermore referred to as Commander XP), which in turn can be gathered by playing vehicles equipped with the specific commanders. Here, all available commanders are laid out next to each other with the bars showing their progression through the ranks. In Armored Warfare, apart from being available directly in the Garage for every vehicle in the Commander and Crew section of the main screen, your commanders can be managed using the new Barracks Garage window. Some commanders are suited for specific classes of vehicles (with their skills reflecting that), while other commanders are more universal. You can choose from multiple commanders, each with a different progression tree and different skills available. Unlike the regular crew members, the commander can move from tank to tank and has a specific tree development system in place. The Commander is a special crew member that progresses differently than the rest of the crew. The amount of crew members can vary from as few as two to four, depending on the vehicle. Vehicles in Armored Warfare are manned by crew members and commanders.
