18th Mechanised Company

The battalion's tank crews

18th is CAB's main fighting force. Members crew tanks in Multicrew Tank Combat or support them as infantry, artillery or helicopter pilots.

Its best tankers can end up in 212th AMP, the company's invite-only platoon. You get in by passing a tryout. Each qualification you pass is worth points, and you need 2 points to join.

Skill level

Crew roles

With 1 to 3 other crewmen of similar skill, you should be able to highscore or topscore a public server easily.

Support roles

Given your tools (points for arty, a decent map for infantry, etc.), you should be able to carry an average 18th crew far enough that one of them topscores or completely dominates a public server.

The point system

Pass qualifications in a tryout until you reach 2 points.

For example: two 1-point qualifications, or one 1-point and two 0.5-point qualifications.
