World of Tanks Panzer Ranks
In World of Tanks, your tank crew gets promoted in military rank as they gain experience.
Starting crew ranks depend on the qualification of the tanker. Commanders start with the rank of Sergeant. Gunner and Driver starts with Corporal. Loader and Radio Operator starts with Private 1st Class. These ranks and their subsequent promotion has no effect on gameplay - other than sounding nice and more realistic.
