Crew Advancement

Recruiting

When recruiting a new crew, you will be faced with the option to select between three different training levels:

 Tank Academy

At the cost of 200 Gold, this option trains a crew member to 100% training level in their role, and thus automatically unlock a skill.

 Regimental School

At the cost of 20,000 credits, this option trains a crew member to 75% in their role.

 Rapid Courses

This option is free, and trains a crew member to 50% in their role, which is the minimum that a crew member can be at.

If you want to see what a crew member looks like before you spend on training, recruit using Rapid Courses and dismiss as necessary until you get an appearance you like. Then right-click on the crewman's portrait, open his Personal File, and click on the Training tab.

When acquiring a crew member at the Barracks you will also have to specify a Nation, Vehicle Type/Class, Vehicle Model and Major Qualification (role).
