Artillery Certifications & Units

[/b][/center]

So, you can buy Comms Officers or earn the Radio-Operator rights through qualifying for a certificate to use the Radio Abilities. The following information in this thread will differentiate the differences and how to use your Communication men appropriately in battle.

[NPC] Comms Officer:

The NPC Comms Officer is a standard Combat Radio Operator, so in comparison to the certifications of the Radio Operators, they qualify for the lowest certificate open to members.

• NPC Comms Officers may call in OFF-MAP Artillery every Seven to Eight posts made within the thread, this is OVERALL. So not every seven to eight posts YOU make, but seven to eight posts made by everyone in the thread.
  
  
• Artillery Abuse - In reality, Artillery isn’t called in every several minutes of the battle. So use it wisely and ONLY when you need it. As a Mod-Marker, witnessing you using the Artillery resources every chance you get, may just end up breaking your radio equipment completely…
  
  
• NPC Comms Officers are also rookies; They can be highly inaccurate or highly accurate, it all depends on how well you use the Comms Officer and technical language describing co-ordinates and communication between your Artillery/Headquarters.
  
  
• Comms Officers are Unarmed - They can’t wield any weaponry what-so-ever, other than a Bayonet.
  
  
• The NPC Comms Officer’s Radio may also malfunction or break more regular than the member obtaining a Radio Operator certification. These can span from ‘No Replies’ from your request made, Static (interference), Breaking completely and so forth -- However, if you have an Engineer in the thread, you can attempt to repair the equipment, assuming it breaks.
  
  
• Finally, you can call in reinforcements.
  - When calling in reinforcements, it has to be another member either within your division or someone willing to come and help you.
  - Infantry, Pilots, all welcome to accepting the call - BUT, you must request 1 person and 1 person only. Do not signal for the whole of the Allied frontier to help you, otherwise your reinforcement request will be void.
  - In conclusion to only requesting 1 person to aid you, in every thread, you may only request 1 bout’ of reinforcements. No more. So pick wisely.

[MEMBER] Comms Officer, Certificates:

The Member Comms Officer can range from three categories, Combat Radio Operator, Technical Radio Operator and Chief Radio Operator. For more information on the certificates, view Here!

• Member Comms Officers may call in OFF-MAP Artillery. This can range from every several posts to five posts made within the thread - all depending on the certificate you hold.
  
  
• Artillery Abuse - In reality, Artillery isn’t called in every several minutes of the battle. So use it wisely and ONLY when you need it. As a Mod-Marker, witnessing you using the Artillery resources every chance you get, may just end up breaking your radio equipment completely…
  
  
• For better effect, be more descriptive when calling in Artillery. As a Member Radio Operator, it’s crucial to describe your target and co-ordinates through a sound language Radio Operators would communicate via’. So in comparison to a NPC Radio Operator and how well you describe yourself, your Artillery called in could possibly wipe out the entire enemy frontier………
  
  
• In comparison to the NPC Radio Operators, your equipment may also break or malfunction. So be sure to look after it and use it wisely.
  
  
• In comparison to the NPC Radio Operators, Member Radio Operators may wield weaponry, however, this may falter depending upon the certification you hold.
  - Combat Radio Man: Rifles/Side-Arms
  - Technical Radio Man: Rifles/Side-Arms
  - Chief Radio Man: All Weaponry.
  
  
• Finally, you can call in reinforcements.
  - When calling in reinforcements, it has to be another member either within your division or someone willing to come and help you.
  - Infantry, Pilots, all welcome to accepting the call - BUT, you must request 1 person and 1 person only. Do not signal for the whole of the Allied frontier to help you, otherwise your reinforcement request will be void.
  - In conclusion to only requesting 1 person to aid you, in every thread, you may only request 1 bout’ of reinforcements. No more. So pick wisely.

Engineers may fix Radio Equipment, but with all fixes attempted on any broken or malfunctioning weaponry/equipment/vehicles, it may fail.

So the higher the Certification (Chief Engineer) the more chance you'll have of repairing things and the higher ranked NPC Engineer, the more chance you'll have of repairing things too. But yes, Engineers may fix Radio Equipment.

Weaponry, yes Grenades, side arms, rifles, etc. Only thing you can't carry, is Machine-Guns or SMGs, due to the weight factor of you carrying a hunk of equipment already. However, if you abandon your gear in a thread and say, McMillan throws you his weapon, you can use it temporarily.

But as it stands, you'll be weighed down, so it's not that fact you can't shoot with machineguns like anyone else, it's just the fact you're carrying too much weight to then drag along anything else.
