1 char point = 100 hours with teacher. Green troops dont(realistically) have 100 hours of shooting practice.

Veterans on other hand have 14+1bracing+5 aim+2 extra 2 sec = 24-10 = 14 to hit .(Though with bullets flying around cut that down to 1 sec aim + duck for cover,add -4 for enemy behind wall,window,in ditch and you get rare hits again ... but if veteran has opportunity to take his time he will score a hit) |

Re: Star Wars: Imperial Stormtroopers
I agree that they are a tiny force. But their main qualification is loyalty, not necessarily military skills. If you select for loyalty and obedience, and fire everybody who has an independent thought, you will probably not get very good soldiers.

According to canon, the Stormtrooper presence in many major battles hinges on their unwavering loyalty, as they endure withering casualties against dug-in Rebel forces. This actually resulted in the acceleration of the replacement of clones with more recruits. |

Re: Star Wars: Imperial Stormtroopers
If talking about Clone troopers:
They had 10ish years of intensive military training with TL 10+ equipement simulating real battlefileld. They are clearly Veteran + quality. Clone Commandos = pure Elite |

Re: Star Wars: Imperial Stormtroopers
Careful. The early Waffen-SS, before it got that name, was loyal, fanatic and brave, but hadnīt spent many points on Tactics and Soldier and took unnecessary risks and losses in poland and france. The later Waffen-SS varied very much in quality. And the good combat records of several divisons can be explained to considerable amount by those divisions being bigger and having more and better equipment that comparable wehrmacht units.

Re: Star Wars: Imperial Stormtroopers
I tend to view Stomtroopers as being well-equipped (relatively) with their special armor and useful because of their numbers and unswerving loyalty. My take is that their tactical effectiveness depends a lot on effective leadership, both by using veterans imbedded in the command structure and by employing a competent officer corps. To me, basic stormtrooper training focuses on drill, drill, drill.

Re: Star Wars: Imperial Stormtroopers
Unfortunately for the Stormtroopers, their "Special Armor", doesn't do diddlysquat to protect them, because are easily shot and fall down a lot!
