Aside from research points and silver lions, does it level up crews faster?
Yes and no.
Crew XP is directly earned from RP. I believe in Realistic / Sim, you get 1xp for every 100RP earned, whereas in arcade its 3xp for every 100RP earned.
Premium vehicles / Premium account do not change that ratio, but they do increase your raw RP earnings due to their premium modifiers. So in theory, if you are earning twice as much RP playing a premium vehicle as you are a tech tree vehicle, you will also be earning double the crew XP. (Same goes for premium account & Talismans).

So the answer is yes lol

I still don’t understand why it’s this way. Why aren’t all game modes 3xp per 100RP?
Just how Gaijin decided it to be. Out of our control.
Like i said, it’s yes and no.
Someone who plays a tech tree vehicle on a F2P account and earns 1,000 RP in a battle, will earn the exact same amount of crew XP as someone using a premium vehicle & premium account does in a battle where they also earn 1000 RP. So that’s why i add the ‘and no’ part lol. Premium itself doesn’t guarantee you will earn more, it just theoretically gives you improved means to do so.
Honestly, I have no idea. My two theories are :
- Arcade RP modifers per action are lower than RB / SB. So maybe they bump up the ratio to compensate for the fact less RP overall is being earned playing here?
- Arcade is more generally viewed as the ‘starter mode’. So gives newer players a quicker leg up when it comes to levelling their crews?
- Edit - The wiki also makes a good point, you use multiple vehicles in AB so more crews you need to level up.
I think the ratio needs to be buffed for all modes. The crew grind is by far the longest grind in WT. I have completed an entire tech tree and not had my crew skills anywhere near being maxed lol. It’s insane how many years it takes.
Its probably because you get less RP for the same ammount of score
Aren’t you kind of wrong in this tho ??
From what I know, you earn the same amount of Crew XP in both Arcade and Realistic
the difference is that in Realistic, you get 3x the amount of RP for other stuff (Vehicle/Modifications)
So, realistic is overall better in terms of RP grinding
Unless something has changed recently, I don’t believe I am wrong. I just checked the Wiki and it confirms what I said.
To quote :
‘‘In Realistic and Simulator battles, for every 100(RP) the player will receive 1 crew XP point which can be distributed to the crew of the vehicle used in that battle. In Arcade battles, every 100(RP) will grant the player 3 crew XP points’’
But doesn’t that also mean what I said is correct
for Arcade
if you get (70%) activity, you get 100RP and 300 crew xp
but in Realistic
if you get (70%) activity, you get 300RP, and 300 crew xp
Honestly mate, you’ve confused me with these numbers.
100RP in AB = 3 crew xp not 300.
300RP in RB = 3 crew xp not 300.
If you’re trying to make the point that Realistic / Sim still overall workout better because of the higher rewards in these modes, maybe?. Idk. I’d need a good sample size and spreadsheet laying out Time Played : RP earned to come to anything conclusive on that. I do think AB would probably win overall though. I’d doubt that RB earns 3x+ the raw RP that AB does across the same time spent. (Also you have to factor in as an individual what mode you play best in, and that varies for everyone)
I would say RB is probably best for grinding vehicles / modifications, but AB is best for grinding crew skills specifically.
Is that really the case though? So many players actually suggest playing AB to grind crew skills. So even despite lower score it seems the modifier more than makes up for the difference.
I also find AB a quicker gamemode to farm event points, less time spent and more relax as well for the more points despite lower modifier.
It does. Itried AB in my premium tanks to play something different and I got in 3-4 hours 1300 crew XP in my T-80UF idk if that is good or not but it was deffinely more than in 3-4 hours of RB
yes, its a fact. AB gives you a higher Crew XP multiplier.
But lets be honest… even 3x faster in AB…1st u have to play AB, just grinding for RB in AB is kinda stupid…2th 3x is still super slow… either u play for ever and suffer till you got a minimum crew or you gold it…
suffer with a crap crew or buy the important skills like driver, gunner, reload…
and while at it… ALWAYS buy the expert crew! Yes its not cheap! Yes you get more kills and therefore make more SL! YES the difference is crazy, 82 LvLs to be precise is the expert crew increasing! Ace crew would add additional 68 LvLs, making Expert and Ace together 150 lvls increase.
Just to make you aware, the difference between a lvl 30 Crew and a Crew that is lvl 75 and Expert is somewhere between 0.3 - 0.7 Brs worth.
Lvl 0 vs Lvl 150 + Expert and Ace, easy worth 1 - 1.3 Brs.
Crew is just insanly important in this game, no matter if u fly or Tank, but for Planes u need a shit ton less to have a decent crew and also usually u only need one crew.
