Military Recruitment

[Jay]

I wanted to propose changing recruitment to follow the following model. I think the current system could be improved by creating more structure with the training program aimed at different levels of military and paramilitary personnel. The idea is that you can mass-produce paramilitary forces at cheaper costs, but higher-level ones will take longer. This allows more standardization when forces get in combat with each other and also means losing T-1 SOF is more costlier than paramilitary guys.

​

Training Level	Time to Train	Minimum Cost	Maximum Cost
Paramilitary	2 Weeks	$5,000	$15,000
Regular	4 Weeks	$15,000	$30,000
Elite	6 Weeks	$55,000	$150,000
Tier-Two SOF	8 Weeks	$150,000	$500,000
Tier-One SOF	10 Weeks	$500,000	$2,000,000

​

Just a proposed list of training levels and the Min/Max costs

I would appreciate your feedback

As still relative new, I just want to add for such a system it would be incredible convinient if the proposed system with the numbers then is transparently visible at the thread/function where y3train your troops, so you don't need to rember or search for the list every time.

I don't know if I am suited to judge, but I like the proposal

To add to this, why not have it so that you can only train SOF/elite forces when you have training units structured on your military page?

I like this proposal, just one question. How are we handling existing forces? Will we grandfather them in based on just cost? I also believe we should add a category for pilots at 500,000 or more as their training is especially expensive and lengthy.

Thanks Duke!

Glad you thought it is convenient (especially as a new player!)

I assume for existing forces you would have to classify them based on how much was spent and assign them to the category and all future one's would be compliant with the new rule.

For pilots I believe they should fall in the same scale, namely that there are different qualities of pilots (e.g. an F-35 vs a Bell or Heuy) and being paramilitary versus elite should cover it.

Happy to hear your views on my opinion regardless.

Even that would have variations IMO; for example, if you want your pilot to land on an LHD in sea state 6 they would need to have appropriate training to suit, no matter if its a UH-1Y or an F-35B. Plus SOF and CSAR pilots.
