Instructor’s Role:[/b]

The Instructor/s are appointed people who’re able to create unique scenarios every time and see best fit to who earns these skills through their writing and knowledge. These are the people you pay with an fixed amount of CP to earn your skill; not all skills are guaranteed to pass though, as research, knowledge and experience is require first hand to foreplay with these skills you wish to earn.

The Instructor/s will produce a Scenario - depending upon the Skill you wish to undertake.
The Payment made to these instructors by YOU, is what pays their time and effort in creating unique situations and marking your writing skills to the comparison of the skill you’re wishing to earn. So any refunds made is entirely at the Instructor’s discretion.

So now you now a little bit about the Instructor’s role and have hopefully chosen the Skill (from the above table) you wish to earn; you’re ready to continue and read how to go about earning it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Earn Skills?[/b]

By following the next simple steps, you’re closer to earning the following skill/s you require;

• Firstly, after choosing what skill you want and meeting the requirements (Rank and CP) you may contact your local Instructor via PM by filling simply filling out the following template;
  [b]Character Name:[/b]
[b]Skill requested:[/b]
  
  
• Secondly, once the Instructor has replied to your application with a “Yes or No” verdict to being able to help you earn your skill. You will immediately make a ‘DONATION’ of CP that is fixed to the stature of the skill you require. If you’re unsure of payment details, scroll up this page!
  
  
• Once you’ve notified your Instructor and paid, he/she will then begin to write up a scenario to best fit the Skill you’ve requested. Minor skills conclude easier scenarios and help, bigger and harder skills conclude longer scenarios and harder effort. So pick wisely and remember, there is no guarantee of a pass.
  
  
• Once you’ve been notified of your scenario, it will posted beneath a ‘NEW THREAD’ with your name written in the title. From there, you will respond to the scenario with your own post/s and show a performance depicting to your skill (Engineer/Marksman/ ETC).
  
  
• When you have posted your reply, now be patient! The Instructor will soon mark it and the verdict, with notes, will be given on your progress and achievement in earning the skill. Some skills and scenarios may require numerous posts before finally achieving the skill, so be prepared!

Boss man, I hope you don't mind, but I had someone host the skill table on imageshack and give me the link, then I edited your post, I am the only active instructor and I could not see the table, it was beginning to cause some confusion.

So, would I be unable to get Experienced Infantryman because I'm higher than a sergeant?

Hey Nazario,
No; Only the Infantryman Certifications are for NCO RANKS. I did state it beneath the "Experienced Infantryman" section on the table, I just didn't add it under the other's. Figured people would understand from seeing it.

There will be a SECOND TABLE in the making very soon, when a majority of the members now have certifications from the FIRST TABLE. Know it sounds a little harsh or odd, considering if Table 2 might have a cert' you want, that Table 1 doesn't -- but in order for me to create the second table, I need to know Table 1 IS being used.

Anyhow, I have many other updates and college work to be doing, so this will be a work in progress for a while.

So say your going for something like Chief Engineer. Do you have to get Apprentice and Mechanical Engineer first?

[PuNk! ™]

Nope; You can gain the top ones straight away, assuming you have the appropriate rank and CP.

Only things that do have restrictions, that I can see at the moment, is Infantryman Certs are for NCOs/Soldiers, whilst Commander Certs are for C.Os Only. Everything else is accessible by the looks of it.

On "Rogue Marksman" it says that accuracy when sniping is increased. Does this only affect you if you have a sniper rifle?

[friedrich]

I was wondering the same thing...

Okay, put it this way;

Sniper Rifle: 30% - 55% More Accuracy (Per Shot)

Bolt Action Rifles [no scope]: 25% - 40% More Accuracy (Per Shot)

Semi-Auto Rifles [no scope]: 10% - 30% More Accuracy (Per Shot)

You're probably thinking, why do I get less accuracy with a Semi-Auto Rifle, well, you're most likely to fire in more sessions at once, rather than one shot at a time, so the kick-back and re-gaining your posture for another shot will dampen your aim.

So being a Rouge Marksman (lower of the two Marksman Cert's) will give you an overall boost in accuracy WITH Rifles Only. Even Assault rifles to an extent, but that's firing in sessions again, so it wouldn't be much accuracy.

So the Marksman Certs mainly apply for RIFLES for best effect.

If you wan to be a damn-good Sniper, I suggest going for the "Skilled Marksman". I'd be more than likely to mod-mark your shots anywhere between 50% - 80%, all depending on your over all view of the battle field, temperature, wind, climate, etc... So the more detail you put into each shot, not just *Reloads and Fires again*, will make you extrememly deadly from afar.

Answer everything? Sorry I missed your question before Rhys.

[S.SGT David Bevan]

Would u be able to say how much accuracy skilled infantryman would give us?

[PuNk! ™]

I just said in my last post, anywhere between 50% - 80% Accuracy.
However, if you wanted to reach the top end of the accuracy table for your weaponry, you'd have to be very descriptive in your posts for every shot made. It's not just a case of saying you fired several times.

I has quesjun!!

If you get an NCO certification, and you get promoted to a CO, what happens to the Cert.? Do you keep it, or does it go bye-bye?

You can turn down the CO promotion; It would go bye bye.
I don't think it would be fair otherwise, as people could sign up for the highest NCO rank (almost CO), get the bestest NCO certification, that could be considered the strongest cert on this entire table and then get promoted to CO on purpose. So they keep it.

Unless I came up with an Exchange policy, where the cert transformed into a CO equivilant? I'm not sure. What is for sure, COs can't have NCO certs and vice versa. So it would disappear.

OK, another question. Can engineers repair planes, and if so, what level would they have to be? I'm sounding rather pessimistic here, aren't I?
