You have to get the 10,000 XP first and then that unlocks the mission for 35,000 damage. Damage done whilst earning the 10k xp does not count towards your 35k damage.

That was the question I was going to ask - thanks. Doing the first two crew missions can be done easily and quickly, the third one is a drag, and the fourth one - after doing the other three, mind you - is just way more effort than a reasonable person would want to commit. At that point, you're left with 2 or 3 crew for the tank with BIA that you have to drop for some other perk because your 4th crew member is going to be a recruit - or be taken from some other crew, which would then may require a replacement for that crew. At 200 gold per, you have 600 gold to spend to get rid of BIA or you have to bring over a BIA loader from another German medium (which would be free, because you wouldn't need to Mutz train him...but still, that's a valuable crew member to be shuffling back and forth and just generally antagonizing).

And, even if you DO get all these missions done, you don't even get the tank; you just get the crew.

SO...for people that do not have either the Ripper or the Mutz, to do these missions on any given day, a player must:

Earn 15,000 exp in any amount of games. If done with doubles, say 7-10 games depending on the tiers you play. This lets you rent the Ripper for 24 hours.

Earn 5000 exp in the Ripper - keeping in mind that you only get one double this way, you're still looking at another 5 or 6 games. Then you rent the Mutz for 24 hours.

And you have to do all of that each day you play to even get the rental for the tank required for the crew missions.

On top of all of that, the icing on the cake is that the "BIA crew" is really just a one-skill crew that is trained for a premium tank. GG on these missions WG.

Aaah crap. Well, at least I should have a one-skill commander to train for my next German medium tree tank. And maybe a driver and gunner. IF I play this tank that much in one month, which is highly unlikely.

I don't mind buying the tank, though. Not a problem. So, I guess have fun playing the same two tanks over and over every day for a mediocre reward for those that will do so.
