  • Bigger expert gain for sailors in certain ship slots?

Some time ago (event) i nuked all my fighter pilots for more vets (semi susscesful because
one of them hogged all the vets while the rest got barely any)

I stopped playing for a while and recently decided to replenish experts on those fighters.
First thought? AA of course.

After about 4-5 games i found that the fighter pilots i put in T slots got more than twice
the ammount of vets compared to other sailors including the AA gunners (Who were using IJN
6.1" guns in R slots)

Current status:

Fighters in T slots 45 experts each (counting from 0 counting from 0 after the nuke)

Fighters in support slots 20-25 experts. (counting from 0 after nuke)

AA gunners in R slots 25 and 35 (counting from 200 after the nuke)

I'm gueessing the game tries to award the AA gunners with extra experts for the aircraft
they kill but does not realize AA gunners can be placed and used in R slots.

The more experts you have on sailor, the slower remainin rookies get turned into
experts.
Example:
you have a sailor with 500 rookies, expert gaining will be fast at start, but each time
you get more experts it'll get slower, now when that sailor will have 100 rookies and
400 experts, getting those last 100 rooks into experts will take a while.
I think veteran number is also involved here too.

P.S. I haven't noticed any lvl limitations for gaining experts.

I had it completely different. I was leveling a bunch of supports and I had to
rotate them off the T slot because the first 2 support slots were getting more
than twice the number experts the other sailors were.

@ richardphat

Your observations fit quite well. Level does influence experts gain.

At the moment i have 5 fighter pilots.
4 of them are in the mid 90's and one is lvl 85
Note: The lvl 85 FP is NOT boosted.
FP in Support slots

lvl 95 - experts gained since nuke 30
lvl 95 - experts gained since nuke 34
lvl 85 - experts gained since nuke 23

FP in T slots

lvl 97 - experts gained since nuke - 60
lvl 96 - experts gained since nuke - 63

Besides the fighters i have a lvl 36 BO who got 12 experts total (I'm leveling him to open
up the second IJN CV line)

I don't have numbers to back this up, but I have noticed this phenomenon.
It is verifiable as working as described.

I can write a dissertation on how experts are earned through AA, but I guess it
will be too complicated. And you will find it too long.


In short. Generally speaking, the one with the highest lvl(number of crew) will
receive usually more than a lower lvl, if and only if, that highest sailor do have
a same ratio of rookies/total crew.
This situation can be considered true on a long term observation.

But then there is the random experts gained, and given randomly.
There was a day I remember reaching 300+ sailors while some were still in
the 220.

Yet, more details that I haven`t written.
You can find my post via General Topic, the way, I AA and can manage to get
faster experts.
In those post, shows animation gif, which display the ratio of experts and
rookies and vets, by cramming and putting all sailors on the same boat.

Interesting. I'm going to do some tests of my own.
