Training - is harder training better?

[EastsiderSG]

I have a question that may be obvious, but I just wanted to be sure. Is harder training better, is it more likely to improve a skill or does it have any other positive effect? Or should I just look to minimize it?

1) For training bonuses up

Light training is better. More bang for your buck.

2) For skill improvement/SA gaining vs condition loss

No difference between hard and light training. 2 factors are key. Firstly the current rating of the attributes in the drill. The lower the attributes, faster improvement and gaining. Secondly, the training level of your drill. World class vs 1 star makes a big difference.

3) To save time

Hard training is only better for speed. It will train your players much faster than usual because of the intensity but it might not be as cost efficient as other drills that might have a higher training level or lower attributes.
