Tactic Skill Level

[jddurango]

Question about tactic skill:

How long does it take to increase your tactic skill? I've been playing the same tactic for awhile now and it doesn't seem to increase. During this time, I did purchase several new players and overhauled my team. Do new players set the Tactic skill level backwards since they are new to the team/tactic? My tactic skill decreased (i believe) after I acquired those new players.

Is there any way to measure it to see when the next pop is?

I pretty much don't have a B team and play my same team (excluding trainees) in friendlies and league matches.

Can you be proficient in 2 tactic skills...say AIM and CA? How would you train up 2 tactics? Run one in league and one in friendly...keep that the same or rotate it the next week? Do league matches gain tactic skill at a faster pace?

Sorry for the shotgun approach with all the questions...i think you'll see where I'm going with this.

Thanks in advance!

Tactic skill is not based on experience using it--only formation is. Tactic skill is based on your players, and HattriX has a thing on how each is calculated.
From HattriX (http://www.databased.at/hattrick/):

counterattack CA
use it if you got a strong defence and attack but a worse midfield than your opponent. this tactical type is only effective if you are not dominating the midfield.
the ability of your squad to get a counterattack on a missed chance of your opponent is dependent on the defending skill (1x) the passing skill (2x) and the experience of your defenders. Scoring on a CA is up to your forwards.
disadvantage: you lose 7% of your midfield strength taken away after comparing your and your opponents midfield!. (this means if you would have had 51% of the midfield the counter-attacking tactic will get ineffective but you still loose 7% of your midfield strength and therefore get the weaker midfield then = bad)
formations: 4-3-3 with very CA-fitting defenders, 5-3-2 with very good forwards

attack on wings AOW
tries to turn middle attacks into wing attacks. could be used against a team with weak wing defence.
the ability to turn a middle attack onto the wing is calculated by summing the passing skills of all fielded players excluding the keeper. also experience bonus is added.
depending on this ability you get from 20% to 40% more attacks on the wing.
disadvantage: weakens your middle defence.
formations: play it with 2 offensive wingers and 2 wingbacks

attack in the middle AIM
tries to turn wing attacks into middle attacks. could be used against a team with weak central defence.
the ability to turn a wing attack into the middle is calculated by summing the passing skills of all fielded players excluding the keeper. also experience bonus is added.
depending on this ability you get from 20% to 40% more attacks in the middle.
disadvantage: weakens your wing defence.
formations: you could play your wingers to the middle to gain midfield dominance 2 defensive wingbacks would be important in that case.

pressing
aiming at a 0:0 the amount of chances in a game can be reduced.
the ability to reduce the chances is calculated by summing the defending skill of all fielded players excluding the keeper. powerful players defending skills are counted twice. also the players stamina is more important (should have excellent). experience count into the pressing skill aswell.
disadvantage: your players will loose stamina faster.
playing pressing or any other tactic wont affect the chances of injuries.
formations: 5-4-1, 4-5-1

Tactic skills are based on your players skills. You cannot raise a tactic by playing it in friendlies, etc.

The different tactics require different skills. I dont remember the exact skills per tactic, but it is something like...

Counter Attacking = Defense + (2*Passing) of your defenders
Pressing = Stanima + defense of all your players
AIM = Passing of middies, wingers, and forwards (i think)
AOW = Passing of middies, wingers, and forwards (i think)
