Question/Support Experience not transferring fully?

Hello!

I think I may encountered a bug (or feature?) with recycling units in campaign.

I just finished first encounter with New Paradigm (mission where you get better tank bodies and command turrets) and I hoped to transfer my most experienced crew into upgraded tanks with command turret (on next mission, when I can upgrade factories and build better thanks), but my "professional" rank/lvl 5 guys are replaced with "trained"/lvl 3 when I try to build them.

Is it the case of better units requiring more experience (going from light Viper body to medium Cobra tank, and also using command turret), some sort of hard cap on experience, or a bug?

Commanders require more experience to level up than regular units do. So the experience is being transferred correctly but the new unit's rank is lower due to the higher experience requirement.

Cool! I suspected that may be the case and make a lot of sense for commanders having higher requirements than their subordinates.
