CO: Clan Skill ratings?

[Maelwys]

So Clanners on average have better skills than the IS. A Clan regular is 3/4, when an IS regular is 4/5.

Is this taken into account if you're creating a Clan force utilizing CO? For instance, if I'm making a Clan Hell's Horses unit, and I want a Heavy BattleMech with a regular pilot, the roll is a 6+.

But does that Regular skill rating make the pilot a 3/4 or a 4/5?

I was always under the impression the grades were shifted one over

Clan Reg = IS Vet
Clan Vet = IS Elite
Clan Elite = IS Eliter

Hell's Horses vehicle crews and infantry are identical to Inner Sphere. Other clans Subtract one from the roll for those "lesser" units.

BA troopers are question mark however . . . certain Clans would have better IMO.

But to answer your question from a book, might have to ask the authors.
