Each member of your crew can belong to one of six classes -- engineer, grenadier, medic, scout, soldier, and sniper. However, just like in choosing between the Allied and Axis powers, there isn’t as much difference between the classes as you might think. Each class gets a unique skill tree, but that’s it, and there aren’t any restrictions on the activities your soldiers can perform (your engineer can use a sniper rifle and your sniper can pick locks, if you want). Worse, many skills are shared between the classes, and it’s only their placement in the skill tree that changes. So character development isn’t the best part of Silent Storm.​
