Nope, I’ve heard about this and tried to do that (who doesn’t like a good exploit?) But it didn’t work for me - same class, different classes - no matter, it was a random soldier that I was getting back.
Odd. Might have been fixed more recently than i thought and I just hadn’t used the academy, usually going with silver troop orders gets you the most Lvl 5 and 4
I tried it for about 2 weeks and it never worked for me - so what I mean by “it wasn’t available to every one” is that IT WASN’T AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.
Sorry your comprehension levels are so low.

Who knew if it was a bug or a feature until it got tested by various people, reported and fixed or not??
If it was a feature then I wanted to be able to use it - why wouldn’t I?
Now that we know it was a bug it’s been fixed and that’s a good thing.
Sorry you feel the need to keep whining - hope you get over it some time before you hit puberty.
Hey happy for you - well done - you got an unfair advantage - you must be so proud.
Awww.
Yup. There are a few other people in this thread that describe similar behaviour. It seems like it was always random for some.
It could also be somehow connected to the installation date, I guess. Maybe that particular logic depended on both client side and server side.
I’ve had a 100% reliablity of it working in Moscow
Might have been an issue also dependent on Campaign
Which campaign were you in and when were those “2 weeks”?
Right now its fixed across all campaigns as far as i can tell.
I also mainly play Moscow, both Allied and Axis, although I only tested with Allied. I did a few tests at different points of time, because this topic would pop up every now and then on the forums, and every time I was going: “wait. Lemme try that again, it can’t work for some and not work the others”. But evidently it can 
I was also kind of late to the game, I started about two months ago. This is what got me thinking it could be somehow connected to client.
You know, if You want poeple to share your opinion don’t be an a-hole.
We would love to have this bug around, for me it never worked. Now You almost convinced me that it was good fix.
I got like 4 trainnig orders from battle pass, and 2 arerequired to train anything above level 3. A simple buff to reduce card requirement or just get us more of them, and not through random chance.
Maybe we could get one card for every training without using them

No. Worked everywhere since start of OBT and even before.

I don’t even use the customization options XD
But knowing you, you probably use them a lot if the change hurt it get my like…
The man is responding that it is a bug, it was not available for everyone and he is 100% correct about his statement. He is speaking plain language and nothing else. Stop being demeaning to someone just because they dont have the same opinion. A 5 year old is trainable to understand that. Sod off.
It was a bug, there are literally card rewards in the game that give you the option that this bug gave you. There can be no clearer bug than that. If you agree or not or want the option or not is something completely different.
It does not matter, if it was a bug or feature. When you can select who comes back, you can develop your soldier from one star to five. You care what perks they have, what are their names and how they look.
After “fix” it is all replaced with a lottery, all soldiers are expendable, all new and futures customization features are dead.
So yes, please unfix the “bug”. For everybody, of course.

i feel like i’m missing something.
the main point of the thread, mostly because i haven’t played the recent updates.
can someone give me a recap?
Looks like, despite the academy being advertised as giving back 1 random soldier out of 3, for someone it used to ALWAYS give back the soldier in one specific slot in a predictable way, allowing to plan the upgrades without the need for training orders. Others did not have this feature.
Now apparently it’s actually random for everybody, and those who used to be able to pick their soldier every time think that NOW it’s bugged.
Academy for some people was bugged: 1st person placed in training always returned which made anti-lottery tickets pointless.
Now this was fixed.
Honestly, I agree with those who want this to be reintroduced for everyone. I don´t understand why it should be random (without special lottery tickets) in the first place.
thanks ( also to @Serpiko82 )
than i guess i i’m one of those of the unlucky where my soldiers were and are basically dictated by rng.
if i have to be honest, i don’t know what to say, because it was mainly designed randomic. and therefore, shouldn’t be a thing.
but now that cosmetic orders and name tags are a thing, on the other hand if i don’t get that soldier it’s a waste of orders. than should be reintroducted.
we’ll see.

That is true, however, we have a lot of RNG in Enlisted anyway, and weapon upgrades were originaly designed on RNG too (bless you devs for removing upgrade chance… those were frustrating times).
Since we still have RNG in almost everything concerning logistics (be it silver or gambling orders), soldier names, and of course perks (and gambling points), getting rid of RNG in academy would be quality of life improvement while still keeping things grindy.

Indeed. You cannot care for soldiers if they have virtually no chance to reach level 5. May be it is by design, but then why to have all these nice models and options to change features and callsigns, all that.
Academy by itself with one out of 3 coming back is ridiculous enough, but when it is random, or pretty inconvenient with training orders and such - it is a sure way to stop us caring about soldiers and I fail to see how it will make the game better.
