"From what I believe, no toxic, they arent as important, and I believe its true
because the US is the most average nation."

calling gunners and support unimportant is on par with saying a BO isn't important.

every gunner is important. just because US and UK have no chief gunners i should
just get whatever sailor i can find to be a gunner because they're not important?

every support sailor is important, the only thing that changes is usefulness, and that
only applies to Japanese restorers

'chief' whatever only applies to nation strengths, not whatever's 'important' or not.

engineer with +8 or better restore will never get a negative growth...

Engineer.

Don't waste the +12 stat.

no not sarcastic... my current eng contributes 40% of the SD that my restorer does, though
the gap may widen significantly as the levels hit higher. Hence I'm asking for some
advice. If it's all the growth hits negatives by the time it reaches lvl 50, then the
extra restorer ability doesn't matter for an eng.

From what I believe, no toxic, they arent as important, and I believe its true because
the US is the most average nation. It doesnt have a specific calling like the germans
and their gunners, the uk and their defence and survivability, or the japs and
their "all around" offense. The US is average in defence and offence, strength and
weaknessess.

"Here is some more proof. On trainworld.us, if you check the sailor charts, the MOST
IMPORTANT sailors of each country have the word "Chief" in front of it, or for pilots,
the SQ. or Squad leader."

so gunners aren't important for US? or support sailors for that matter?

make him into an engineer. you already have 2 restorers, 3 is overkill unless you
plan on selling one, and +11 is a good base, +12 will make it give more soft, and
you get the additional engine ability.

or you can just sell it now...then you don't have to level it o.O 1 point difference
between restore growths i don't think will make much of a difference in soft or the
restore ability unless you plan on playing all the way to lvl 100...

I'm thinking thats suppost to be sarcastic?

Before you think I'm wrong, I'll share some information with you to change your mind.

EVERY sailor class's skills are quite un-noticible at low levels, only until he gets to
about lvl60 does it make a large enough difference.

When its level gets high enough, then the engineer will become almost as important
as your gunners.

Here is some more proof. On trainworld.us, if you check the sailor charts, the MOST
IMPORTANT sailors of each country have the word "Chief" in front of it, or for pilots,
the SQ. or Squad leader.

For Germany, its the Gunner, Fighter, Dive Bomber, Engineer and Seaman.
For Japan, its the Gunner, Machine Gunner, DP. Gunner, Divebomber, Torpbomber,
Ground crew, seaman and maintence.
For UK, its Torp bomber, Repairer, Restorer, Seaman and Maintence.
For US, its AA gunner, fighter, dive bomber, accountant (wierd), and seaman.

g0ast, take you eng off your ship and see how much your SD drops.

You definately need to promote him to a Restorer, for one thing, he has a +12 stat,
and thats the rarest stat number to get.

Secondly, where did you get the idea that people classed in certain jobs actually use
stats from other jobs? That DOES NOT HAPPEN, if you promote a sailor to a job, that
is his job and what his specialty is going to be.

And the most important support sailor to Germany is the Engie, then the Restorer
then Repairer.

How did you determine that Restorers waste their Eng ability but Engineers use their
Restorer ability?

I'm just wondering. . .my guys are only lvl 29, so I can't really say. . .

And, offtopic. . .if you decide not to use him, I still need a good restorer ;)
