Standard expected

Qualifications
To become an 18th member your qualifications must add up to 2 points total.
Crew roles — 1 point each

Knowledge and usage of the FCS aiming system and modern tank weakspots. On a high level — accurate wallbanging on info from support, and shooting down fast-moving targets such as strafing helicopters.
Knowledge and usage of accurate gear shift, RPM gauge, positioning strategies and tank angling. On a high level — commanding and spotting while driving without issues.
Accurate callouts of movement, leadership over the crew, spotting and relaying info. On a high level — commanding multiple crews to work together on a small scale, such as attacking a dug-in enemy tank.
General support — 1 point each
Knowledge and usage of infantry tactics and differences between game modes, tank weakspots, and the ability to operate alone. On a high level — completely denying enemy advancement over a specific area of the map.
Knowledge and usage of artillery positioning and aiming strategies, proper targeting and the artillery calculator. On a high level — significantly impacting the game without external information support such as drones or friendly crews.
Specialised support — 0.5 points each

Additional grant systems
