Well,here we go,

Are captured tanks so alien to experieced tankers to figure out?
I think not as WW2 tanks were not really very complicated as modern tanks are.

I would suppose a few days to get the feel of it, maybe couple more.
The tiger had a steering wheel which made the driver's learning much easier,if it did not break down.

Experience will be lower for captured AFV'S already (IE:an exp.crew will lose some pts) so no debate there.

Ammo suppiles would be more scarce for some it also depends what it had before capture and ammo dumps,so it is assumed all ammo is available before battle as in the game.
