veterancy

In gaming: The experience gain and related increase in capability of a unit. Typically used in strategy games.

A level 3 veterancy tank is harder to spot, and has better accuracy than a fresh tank.

You should try to keep your helicopters alive, because each level of veterancy makes their fire more accurate at range, and their special abilities recharge faster.
