Welcome to another War Thunder guide! In today's video, we will be taking a look at the crew skills for aircraft. Much like tank crew skills, these increase the general performance of your vehicle. This is one of the most crucial mechanics in War Thunder, and it's important to understand what they do. To help you out, I explain all the crew skills and each of their parameters. Sorry if my you can't understand what I say or if my voice sounds different during parts of the video, this was recorded over a period of 4 weeks. I'm planning on getting a new microphone soon, so the voice overs should sound a lot better in the next video.
Special thanks to the Free Golden Eagles app for sponsoring this video!

Small error in the video, upgrading fire precision by half a skill level reduces fire scattering by 0.03 degrees, not 0.01 degrees.
Having a fully aced crew on a bomber basically makes your gunners robocop
True, but their DPS is still really low. Twin .50 cals can only do so much. Only really starts becoming effective if you have quad .50s or some form of autocannon.
@Steven Yapp Don't bother. I did and it's not worth it. Gaijin nerfed them so they only start shooting at 210m, use manual gunners. They are destructive if maxed and someone closes in on you
@@Jaminhawk laughs in german 13 and 20mm turrets
@@reedman0780 Exactly my point.
@@crabbyjungle5670 why the nerf?
Crew system should be reworked dramatically in this game
It's too much dumb shit I swear.
in tanks i hate when i have 40s repair and enemy aced cn have like 12s of the same damage
3 Things to note:
Mechanics skill carries over to ground vehicles as well.
Reload speed is bugged it seems and actually only affects in air reloads. Rearming on the airfield is always the Repair Speed instead, regardless of if you're actually repairing. The only exception to this is in game modes with modular airfields where reload speed is lowered if the supply depot is damaged.
Reloading turrets is only a thing in RB and AB. In Simulator your turrets have a fixed ammo count and cannot reload regardless of if they just a gun sticking out the side or not. Reload times varry with the caliber as well. .303's will have the lowest at 30 seconds base. .50 is 45 seconds base and 20mm is 1 minute base. You only listed the .303 reload.
Wait, jeff doesn't die in this video?
Then how am i supposed to make jeff dying compilation 2 then mr dog?
Jeff training montage when?
@@skDoger now that is an epic idea, cool and good
First of all, you're using Spirited Away's music, second of all, the information are extremely useful so thank you
My man is getting ads omg 👑👑👑👑 U da king
5:40 in arcade battles on a bomber...
EXTREME OVERLOAD 19G
And in realistic battles my unupgraded pilot calmly flies at 8G
in realistic with a heavy bomber: EXTREME OVERLOAD 1G
(I am not kidding, I sometimes get that warning)
lol planes would probably start peeling apart like wet paper at 19 g your pilot would look like bologna I think rockets (the kinds that go to space not blow up tanks)pull like 12? 13Gs somewhere about that range and the astronauts look like they're melting
@@vollelektrolysierer5773 pe8 pulls up to 6g when doing the insane 180, but with a lvl0 crew, ur wings rip apart. u just need to upgrade a specific skill by 1 lvl to fix that, but idk wich one
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAScrew g tolerance has nothing to do with the planes g tolerance
Crew g tolerance determines how long and to what level they can sustain g forces
@@nathon1942 ye but dats literally eat happens to pe8, or maybe in Dat specific time, I somehow hit the exact conditions needed to break it's wings, cuz Dat thing turns like crazy
Thank u so much for making these videos I played war thunder on and off for a year but its over whelming and these videos help me get better and understand more cause I do want to get better 👍
Also dude your videos are super helpful, I've come back to them a few times to make sure about certain things I'm new to
Damn dude, you drink before making these?
You were flying through that script so fast you sometimes weren't even saying the words!
Haha, sorry about that. This video was a bit rushed so I didn't have time to make the voice lines as good as I wanted them to be. Next video will definitely be better though.

I found it hard to understand you at some moments, nevertheless still very VERY helpful video. Thank you, thumbed up and subscribed!
been playing this game for 7 years. why am i watching this
Can't wait for the naval crew explained video
Nice man now I know way more
Good job bro 👍👏
Yes he back
The legend has returned
thanks mate

Keen Vision and Awareness are just bloat research; as for them it all depends on server side and spotting system. Just another common evil feature from the mischievous snail.
This was very useful. Thanks for uploading.
Glad it was helpful!
@@skDoger I am starting to grind out Sweden's air vehicles. (I have a jet btw) what tips do you have about that?
@@MausOfTheHouse I haven't started with the Swedish tech tree yet, but I head the J21A is quite good. Maybe try going for that.
@@skDoger Thanks. Maybe make a guide, since many people are grinding the tree. It would surely get a lot of views.
@@MausOfTheHouse Definitely will do that. But I have some other videos planned, so it'll have to wait.
3:42 intentional misspell
Dude I had no idea that the second page is for your crew members and not pilot himself, I focused so much points on the crew page all the while playing exclusively fighters so I have no gunner crews, just an hour ago I was beginning to suspect that the second page is for crew not pilot and lord behold, I was correct, but at what cost; for the last month, I played and sank my points into the second page without knowing that it wouldn't help my pilot.
Same here, i mostly focused on fire precision and accuracy
USED GOLDEN EAGLES FOR THAT!!!
same it annoyed me so much when i found out
damn, me too, i actually have my precision in one russian crew at 4.5 and accuracy at 5.0, im putting my pe8 in that slot
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS Nice lol good thing you found out a bit earlier than me, good thing I quit this game though. Hit a good 500+ hours and 5.0 or higher on almost all the nations in both aviation and army.
@@locness.monsterr i didnt find it earlier lol, i found now with the vid, im putting pe8 in dat slot
Ive been waiting for this video, thankyou for making it, will help on crushing russian planes
underated af
AFAIK the maximum range on when turrets can fire highly depends on the plane you're flying. My b25 says .8km max range and 1.07km max tracking range. 200m is shit but 800m is pretty damn nice as I can't usually hit a target farther than 400m when trying to fly at the same time. With 3.5 precision and accuracy and a qualification my gunners are actually more effective than I am most of the time unless very close range. I wish you knew more about the g tolerance and stamina affecting aim accuracy. They don't explain it in the tool tip.
The plane has no effect on the firing range, you were looking at arcade stats vs. RB/SB stats.
That being said, I've seen them fire further than 200m when I was hunting ai attackers with a He-111 H-16 frontal cannon, so I'm not convinced it's totally useless to upgrade crew accuracy and precision.
Nice music. A remix of a Hisaishi piece, from Spirited Away :)
if ure lazy and want quick advice, here it is:
if ure a bomber player, upgrade the 2nd window of crew skills (gunner skills) and pilot
if ure in fighter, u should only upgrade pilot skills, and focus on gun maintenance, cuz dat will make ur guns be better, a bit better
Imagine trying to get 2k GE on that app you'd be there longer than tryna grind through all the Sherman tanks
When you where talking aboute vitality you showed the swiss flag insted of the red cross, just wanted to let you know
1:56 omg is that the real Kgb_Elite from the SkDoger discord server???///?/?/?
Yooooo is that the real KGB Elite in my comments section??
should i invest in reload and repair speed for CAS in tank RB?
and also do i need repair rank to get the repair faster on airfield or is it just for in the hangar?
Repair rank is only for the hangar. Repair speed and reload speed are also for the airfield, so you should upgrade those two.
Is there not a way to increase the sight range reticle for your aircraft? So that you can lead targets from further away?
The targeting range option before you spawn I believe
Love the video, helped alot. BUT, try slow down with the talking, i couldn't understand 50% of what you said. had to slow it down on the video.
16:00 and what if my fighter in tank RB doesn't have a gunner? should I put points in pilot vitality instead?
Yes, if your plane has no gunner the gunner skills are useless. Put them into something more useful
Please make a video of battleships crew skills
Just the right video I needed. 1 question tho, can I install the app on ios because I can’t see it on App Store.
Sorry, it's only for Android. You can install an Android emulator on your computer though.
So having the repair rank maxed out on a plane won’t make it maxed out on other planes ?
Are bombers good for grinding RP until about 4.5 BR? I'm grinding US aviation tree until I hit about 4.5 so I can use a good aircraft for CAS in Ground RB. Any tips are GREATLY appreciated. I hopped in recently, haven't played in years and bombers gunners were super deadly
Bombers these days have low RP modifiers and high repair costs. There are exceptions, but I'd say you should stick to other planes. Feel free to give them a shot though, if you like them, you can use them.
You may wanna check out P-47D Thunderbolt or Hellcat, their loads are good, additionally, P-47D is a fighter but awesome for CAS
So i only play SIM battles.. does that mean for fighters the only thing that really matters is stamina, g tolerance, and weapon maintenance? And for bombers those 3 plus precision and accuracy?
Yep, those are the only ones that make a difference.
I only use fighters(so mostly 1 pilot), should i be putting stats into the “Number of Experienced Gunners” stat?
Edit: 7:50 Ohh ok thankyou, i didnt want to waste points but also didn’t want to miss out
at the moment im trying to max out the repair skills, cuz repair costs piss me off
Ive decided to max out almost ever skill in gunners for my b17 and max qualify them
Best decision ever. In 1 match i killed 3 aircraft by sniping the pilot out
doesnt fire presision lower the scatering for your pilot?
dont think so, the description of the crew skill says "for the gunners"
In the USA a6m2 I have the pilot maxed out and it still says upgrade your pilot
dats the default message when ure passing out, ignore it, zeros just turn alot
Why is the backmusic from "spirit away"? I mean, I was not exspecting that
It makes for some nice background music :)
i play fighters, and unknowingly upgraded the gunners thinking it would somewhat effect the pilot too... i'm gonna kms
For example you have 150 people who use your code and all of them earn for example 10 GE every day.At the end of day , you have 300 GE for day. STONKS
guten tag :)))
5:49 my pilot has taken 20gs before lmao
How do you reduce bullet spread, do I still do fire Precision even if I have no gunners?
No, you should get the weapon modification
Thanks
when will be that plane ammo guide? I am still waiting :D
I will definitely make it, but I have a couple of other videos planned right now. Maybe in a couple of months.
@@skDoger ok I have time
50 cal: use tracers
any other gun: stealth, or if u dont know to aim (like me lol) use universal. if theres no universal, use something else similar to universal, the planes dat dont have universal belt normallyhave belts like night or something, use dat belt if u cant aim with stealth
7mm: cool to use tracers too, u wont be dealing many damage, but if u have planes with 7mm and bigger guns (italians for example) use tracers in the 7mm so u can guide ur shots easier
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS The only thing I play now in ARB is the kai so yeah no really that much of shootin (missile thunder), but thanks for the info anyway :D
Lol what I usually do is save up my crew skill points and spend them when I have alot
When you didn’t know they are a thing and been playing for 1 year.... shit I’m good
Wait Awareness and Keen vision work in RB?
Air RB yes, but tank RB no.
I just learned about this, my br is 8.3.....
is there anything like that FREE GE for IOS???
wait so im upgrading my gunners on fighters where only a pilot is onboard, does that mean i have spent crew points for something that legit doesnt give me any benefit?
Exactly. The only thing that does is increasing your crew levels for an expert or ace crew. Basically a waste of points.
There are some fighters that have turrets. Like the USA's P-61c-1. It has a dorsal turret with 360° rotation and 90° elevation, 0° depression; armed with four 12.7mm mgs. Two AI gunners controlling the turret (one facing forward, one back) allows the turret to be used in an offensive role as well as defensive. The main armament being four 20mm cannons with 200 ammo each. Honesty, the AI gunners has gotten more kills for me then the main guns because it will start shooting long before I do. That is of course with the gunners accuracy and precision maxed out + ace.
How about a video on Crew Skills for ships?
That video is planned, but not for the near future.
@@skDoger ok, thanks
IM SO DUMB, i upgraded gunners and i dont use bombers or attackers, i should upgrade gunners to one slot of crew groups.
What crew thing should I level up first?
Tank reloading is a solid choice
I spent all of my crew points upgrading gunner fire precision cause i thought it helped the planes main guns to
me too lol, gotta put my heavy bomber in dat slot hehe
There should be a caution or warning or something in the defensive armament (formerly known as Gunners) crew skill section, something like "only applied to bombers and ground attack aircrafts"
any news on your next video? love your vids
It's coming out hopefully next week actually! Stay tuned...
@@skDoger I will! :))
did anybody get golden eagles from that app?
god job like
Thank
I wish I knew about the gunners before I started so I wouldn't have spent all my crew points into them
Does the Golden Eagle app even work? Some dubs
Idk i think you whatch adds
Seems like a scam tho
Are you going to make more videos?
Yep, sorry for the lack of uploads. I am busy with school these days, but videos are in the making.
Guten tag :)))
That pilot was 100% Swiss
2:23 2:49 3:06 *50meters
"Very manuverable" yes not until your pilot can tolerance the 20G in 2 seconds and losing stamina that quick
I have a friend whom I fly with, and he has 7 plus years experience but, refuses to upgrade his crews. I, on the other hand make sure my crew(s) are fully upgraded. About three years ago, maybe more, Gaijin made upgrading your crews a major priority. Otherwise, even your fully spaded plane flies like it was just out of the factory. However, he refuses, says it is too expensive. Sadly, that means almost every game, he passes out pulling too many Gs. Some people you can lead to water, you cant make them drink. For me, it is worth it, and logical, to spend the money and buy GE to upgrade to EXPERT and even ACE. Most of my crews are EXPERT and a fair number of select crews are ACE. Did you know, without using some hack on rear gunners as some unethical bomber pilots use, a fully skilled EXPERT crew in a bomber or any plane with rear gunners will track an enemy plane faster, the turret will spin faster, and the maximum range of a rear gunner is 660 meters. As most fighter pilots use a convergence of 300 - 500 meters, that means your rear gunners will start firing long before the enemy gets within their convergence.
Never understood the crowd that hate crew skills. You literally get them for free and they increase your stats. Maybe send him a link to this video, might change his mind 😉
@@skDoger Oh, I have constantly badgered him both flying with him and in the comment section of his videos. Whenever he passes out, I leave a comment, that he needs to upgrade his crew. The thing is, he is a very popular RUclipsr that I fly with. Some people are just stubborn. His argument, it is just too expensive. A good example is my ACE crew in the 229. I pulled a maneuver right in front of him one day where he exclaimed: What the hell was that.? I said, now you do it. As I said I have certain planes from tier one to tier 6 which have either an Expert crew in it or an ACE crew. 90% of all my crews at any tier have an Expert crew.
@@r.c.a.f_lynx9992 No point trying to persuade a brick wall I guess. You continue pulling off some sweet maneuvers and he might cave in eventually.
@@skDoger LOL Yeah, I do when ever we are flying together. Just to rub it in his face.
How can something be free are expensive????
Did you tell him that he doesn't have to pay silver to upgrade them????
Vision skills don’t apply to Sim, right?
They still do. In sim, if you get close enough, it'll still show a marker. The skills affect the range. But the distance is pretty small, so you shouldn't focus on those if you mainly play sim.
From 100 to 400GE Thank you
Then why does a crew of a fighter still those options ? when i started i messed up adding to these lol
Another one of the world's great mysteries...
Cause like he said, it's the same crew for any plane you put in that slot.
Is cool and goods 2 coming soon?
Yep, I have a big list of cool and goods ready, but I wanted to get this video done first. Don't worry, part 2 is coming soon.
@@skDoger nice! Keep up the good work!
@@Crazy__Biscuit Thank you :)
me who put pilots under 20g torture
b29 crew is 310k or more
One question: WHY DOES MY GUNNER NOT TURN WELL!!!
Yeah. I have the same problem
Crew talking skills?
What is the apps name?
The app was called Free Golden Eagles, but apparently it got removed from the Play Store. I've contacted the developers, but I still haven't heard from them.
So just so I'm sure, you have no need to upgrade the number of experienced gunners if you almost entirely assume manual control of them?
Yep, gunner skills are mostly useless if you manually control them.
Yeah I've thought that for a while and it makes me regret how many crew points I've wasted on my bomber crew's AI skills when I usually manually control them, lol. At least I know for the future to ignore them save for vitality.
@@minmus410 They are a pretty cheap way to promote your crew to expert though, so there's that.
True, true. I've been thinking of getting into Germany lately so I'll probably be playing a lot of German bombers. I'll keep that all in mind for that.
How do I even get these point things
By playing matches
@@skDoger does it work like the xp?
@@IcyMan143 Pretty much
Im watching this but i don't have a pc
SADLY THE BOMBER SKILLS DONT DO ANY THING IF THE ENEMY CAN JSUT 1 SHOT THE BOMBER DOWN :C
Aaaaaand of course final/ace qualification is gold eagles... damn gaijin and their pay to win bullshit.
Omg i am the first viewer 😲
Omg no one cares just watch the video 😮😮😮
not quite sure why this topic needs a video, like everyone could moseover the skills and read it for himself.
i guess its just about to spread your invite code so u can get 20% of every earned ge from the guys who used your code...
I'm must be extra dense, because I still don't get it, do repair rank has any effect in battle? I'm not sure if only allows to do quicker repairs to higher rank planes during the battle or has more and/or different effects.
Nope, repair rank is only for in-hangar repairs. Field repair is the skill for battle repair speed.
@@skDoger Thanks for the info. One more question if I may. If I only play one nation, is kinda pointless to untick the repair option, right? I'd have to wait after each battle.
@@MalakianM2S Pretty much, unless you're going to stop playing after that battle.
@@skDoger Thanks a lot for the info. Now I feel a bit silly, I dumped points to get to rank 3 and I only play one nation.
@@MalakianM2S Hey, maybe you'll play some others in the future, who knows :D
In general, AI gunners are only good if you need to adjust course briefly, as their range is so low. Nobody who has a brain gets anywhere near .2km of the rear of a bomber
im pretty sure dat was nerfed recently, i remember bv 238s and pe8s, tu4s and b29s being very deadly even if u were relatively far from them
2:59 how can he see through the fuselage?
magic.
also dat doesnt matter in simulator, u gotta see the enemy with ur eyes lol
Let's be honest: 210m of firing range making AI gunners useless
AI gunners are only useful in low br arcade i love when i get free kills in the B-34 and A-20
I would I watch a video that is literally twice as long as this over the insane speed of this one... who are you racing?? I don’t understand why this guy speaks so insanely fast. Relax dude lol
What language is this?
Fastspeak
E G G
There’s a 26 minute video I’m gonna watch instead. Take a breathe, slow it down my guy lol
