I feel like I’ve seen this asked before but I searched the forums a few different ways and came up empty so apologies in advance.
In ground vehicles you often have vehicles that don’t have five crew members. In these cases, are the skills from the crew that do appear (driver, gunner, commander, for example) the only ones that make up the performance values for that vehicle or do all crew skills in a slot regardless of the specific vehicle crew make up the performance value? ie Does my radio operator’s skill matter if there is no radio operator in a specific vehicle’s crew?

The average skill of all 5 named crew positions is used for the skill calculation, no matter the actual number of crew members. For example, the average Agility of one of my crews is 9.16 seconds at Expert qualification, as my Radio Operator’s value isn’t maxed out (it would be 9 seconds otherwise). This value doesn’t change between vehicles with or without a Radio Operator.
This calculation method may seem illogical, but provides a way to streamline those skill calculations without having to determine and assign a different value for each different tank according to potentially conflicting aspects like size, design, crew ergonomics etc.
