TYVM sanitarium and richardphat, i appreiciate the help.

All the others you were no help and just argued, i wish there was a place we could put all you  trolls on the internet, maybe new jersey would work. the_slasher ty for defending me but if your jsut gona anger trolls and not help the person whos asking for help you might as well go to troll island with them.

also sanitaitum i have around a lvl 50 russian crew that i havnt had to class up the support stuff yet, should i jsut class them when they reach the lvl or what ever this delayed crew shit is should i do taht on them to improve them or whatever

well when i origanly posted this i was asking about my lvl 60 some uk support engys and reps but some guys said i should just class those as soon as possible. but now im asking about my russian support crew, engys and reps, that havnt had to be classed up past 2nd so what should i know about delayed crews

You should class supports on time ~ all nations.  The exception to this would be is if you had some plan about your end goals.  I've seen a player go with all engineers on their UK by late classing their engineers so they would provide extra repair.  But they had a long term plan in place and weren't using repairs.  The point here is that you would have a totally different assortment of crew and a purpose to what you are doing.

Another easy example is with torpers.  Torpers reach their cap quite easily so I might leave them as national sailors for a long time so they gain repair and restore ability while sacrificing their torpedo ability.  In the short term, I would be giving up torpedo ability but in the long term, I will have full torpedo capability along with good repair/restore.  Once again, it's a matter of looking at the end product.  The most likely instance of late classing is with sailors that cap easily since the main ability of the end product whether classing on time or late are the same just that the latter will have more support stats.

I guess this goes back the Eufo's original response of ~ if you don't know(or have a plan) about classing late, then you should be classing on time because supports should be classed on time.  I've also mentioned previously that if you don't class on time, your total crew will be less.  At each classing, you can add more recruits ( thus the potential for more experts/vets).

TYVM mako, i really appreiciate the input it was very informative. i will follow your guidance when classing sailors thanks agian =)

The people who get "creative" with this kind of classing are usually players who have done a regular crew already and are going for something different.  I wouldn't recommend it on the first play through. I did a second set of torpers late classed for repair and restore stats because I had other ships I could put them on for XP and not actually USE them until they are ready.   Good luck.
