By using the toggles and drop-down menus on the left side of the Barracks window, a player can sort the crew members by their nationality, Vehicle Competence, Major Qualification, and location (whether assigned to a tank or not). Those crew members who are currently assigned to vehicles in the Garage are listed in the Barracks window, but do not occupy a bunk in the Barracks. Only crew members who are not assigned to a tank in the Garage actually take up a bunk in the Barracks. Players start with sixteen bunks in their Barracks, and can increase the number of bunks by additional increments of 16 bunks at a cost of 300 Gold by scrolling down and selecting the Enlarge Barracks button. The Barracks view entry tab is located in the Garage view, top center-right. On the left side of the Garage view screen players will see a list of the crew members that are assigned to the vehicle that is currently selected and displayed in the Garage. The Barracks is where players can find all their crew members, whether the crewman is assigned to a tank in the Garage or is a resident in the Barracks itself. In this example, if the Commander was knocked out in battle, the performance of all of the four roles he/she was filling would suffer. Although these crew members perform multiple roles, they still only have one Qualification, which is the first, or left-most, icon. For example, in an MS-1, the Commander also fills the role of Gunner, Radio Operator, and Loader, while the Driver only drives. In such cases the game mechanics calculations require a crew member to perform additional roles. Small light tanks with a crew of only 2 usually include a Commander and a Driver. Other vehicles may require a crew complement of only 2, 3, or 4 crew members, less than the five Major Qualifications. It also allows for more skills and/or perks. On the plus side, if one of the two is knocked out, the tank will continue to perform that role at 50% of the crew's skill, rather than at 0%. The T1 Heavy Tank and the M6 each carry crews of 6 with two gunners. The M2 Medium Tank requires a crew of 6, two of whom are Radio Operators. Some vehicles, particularly large caliber SPGs and TDs, may require a crew of 6 members and include a second Loader. The more Proficient the Loader, the faster the time to reload the gun. Each Loader's Proficiency directly affects how fast the next shell is loaded, and the more Proficient the Loader(s) the faster the gun reloads. Loader The Loader's principal job is loading the next round into the main gun. The icon will change to indicate a crew member has been knocked out. During battle, each crew member's health is represented graphically in the battle interface by the following icons. These five roles are referred to in-game as the "Major Qualification" of the crew member, and include: Commander, Gunner, Driver, Radio Operator, or Loader.
