Why is my Crew member displayed in red?

A Crew member is always trained for a specific vehicle. Should a Crewman operate a vehicle that he is not trained for, he may receive a penalty to his training level. This is indicated by the training level being colored red in the garage screen.

A penalty is received for the following situations:

  • If a Crew member is in a vehicle of the same class, and the vehicle is not a premium vehicle, they will receive a 25% penalty to their current training level. So, for example, a 80% base training level will be reduced to 60%, or a 100% base training level will be reduced to 75%
  • If a Crew member is in a vehicle of a different class, and the vehicle is a premium vehicle, they will also receive a 25% penalty to their current training level
  • If a Crew member is in a vehicle of a different class, and the vehicle is not a premium vehicle, they will receive a 50% penalty to their current training level. So, for example, a 80% crew will be reduced to a 40% base training level, while a 100% crew will be reduced to a 50% base training level

Experience gain for each Crew member is also reduced under these conditions.

If a Crew member is in a vehicle of the same class, and the vehicle is a premium vehicle, there is no penalty.
