Question on crew repair speed

The Academy - Players helping Players
1

Does in-battle repair speed relate to all the crew members’ repair skill or just crew members on this tank?
E.g. Soviet/Russian tanks don’t have a reloader, does the repair skill level of this reloader in the crew influence the speed of in-battle repair?

It depends on the surviving crew members, not the invisible vodka-powered ones. The more of your crew alive, the faster the repair but for Russian tanks, the “no loader” thing doesn’t matter; the autoloader just keeps working like a good comrade. Basically, Mother Russia said “who needs repair skills when you have bias?"

I think he means that if all crew are alive but you don’t have a crew that is designated as loader in the game, would the crew stats of the loader matter and effect the repair speed (since some of the crew skills are calculated as the average total).

I don’t personally know the answer but i would like to find out if someone knows :)

I tested this by drowning my 96A(which doesn’t have a reloader) engine 5 times, upgrade the repair skill of the reloader, then drown the engine 5 times. I found out that even if your tank doesn’t have a reloader, the skill stats of him still matters. The repairing time decreased.

Just curious…was it a meaningful difference…?
I was under the impression the average was used, but i cant find info it unused crewmen were considered…HOWEVER i was also under the impression the difference was very small anyway…

The question I have always wondered but never asked…

it says speed is based on the “Average” skill… but dose that mean that if you driver and gunner are maxed and your commander has zero… then the commander dies… dose your repair speed increases? 5+5+0/ 3 =3.3 but 5+5/2 =5…

Ok, so it’s based on the average of ALL 5 potential crew positions. Thanks for sharing.

So the crew stats always count even in absence of an actual crew member. That’s how I imagined it would be. The game does advise to balance your crew and spread the crew points equally.
