Rank 1 to 2 takes 5min
Rank 2 to 3 takes 2 hours
Rank 3 to 4 takes 4 hours
they take longer and longer, quickly.
Rank 5 - 8 hours.
Btw 
The Academy timers are seriously reminding me of mobile games with the āFree-2-Waitā system. This wouldnāt be much of an issue if we actually got a decent chance at higher-ranked soldiers once we unlocked the respective upgrade for it in their ānativeā squad, but as it stands the majority is one / two-star.
it takes just over 940 hours to get 21 rank 5 soldiers, asuming you go from all rank 1 soldiers and level up every single one to max. This does not account for waiting for the upgrades, only for leveling time. I think waiting for the upgrades is the least of your problem
i beg you, lets not spread this false bias
you cant claim you know how much its gonna take as every person has different performance per battle + random drop + there will be premium account
afterall - 900 hours for endgame is not a big deal, such games are not made to allow you get everything in just weeks, even through some tryharders playing 24/7 with premium stuff of all kinds will be able to achive goals much much faster
furthermore you dont need 21 soldiers of max grade, from 7 soldiers in squad your primary are only 4, therefore you should aim for 8 lvl 5 soldiers for 2 squads and vehicle, or 12 for 3 squads without vehicle
vehicles dont require leveled soldiers at all as perks has no direct improvements for it, use them to improve your mains
pretty sure with premium and daily play after work youll get it in a single month if you aim for it and dont play other games
p.s. in addition to this roadmap has already announced perks gain speed rebalance. Please stay constructive and consider everything. You can trick people here, but this wont work with game designer having all the exp numbers on the paper with such cheap calculations and arguments, especially when it comes to amount of grind needed in a free2play game that is gonna make money by selling āpremiumā accounts increasing exp speed

You have a valid and good point, but you also have to consider that there Will be 2 nations too grind per campaign and for now there is 4 announced. The hours quickly adds up. Seing how many different squads there is aswell
That calculation was made by asuming the average time you need to level up 1 character is 15 minutes of in-match time, which should be about right. Of course the actual time in practice can range from <700 to >1100, but Iād say 900 would be about average.
Once again, youāre not counting events, premium stuff, rebalance from cbt and for sure you dont level up a single soldier in 15 match as they progress more or less simultaneously. These calculations are just bad for an argument to actually ask something to rework, imho.
If i recall correctly, you gain at least 200xp for every soldier when you spawn a squad + 10 for every squad member for each kill + some bonus to the soldiers who actually did these kills.
Spawning 3 squads in a battle would result in at least 4200 exp, which is equal to 3 soldiers 1 star per battle regardless actuall performance, battle outcome or length. In fact they should gain much much more exp. All this is subject to change anyway and is not final.

how good are these bots better or simply just bOTs
I am only stating a calculation to give insight. It is not an argument for or against a rework.
I have no idea, iāve never seen any proofs of different AI based on stars.
Im leveling my soldiers only to get more perks, because i find many of them as very needed, as:
- health regeneration
- ammo
- reload
- vertical recoil
- horizontal recoil
- stamina boost
- stance change speed
Having 5 star soldier you can choose 5 of these. Health boost is not inclusded, it turns out close to impossible to get this perk using 5 stars non-premium soldiers which i hope may be changed to actually let every high level soldier use it.
Rank 1 AI do not shoot downed opponents. Rank 5 AI do.
