I understood it like that. If you build the AWC after your soilders ranked up, it will give them the chance to get a hidden abillity an error or bug in the files made that impossible before.

Before you only got hidden abillities from the the other skill trees, which were below or equal to the rank of the solider.

For Example a Grenadier CAPTIAN could not get rapid fire because its a skill from the Ranger tree which requiers Major Rank.

sorry for my english.
Hidden skill requiers random rank, not the rank from class.

This mod is supposed to ensure that every soldier will get an additional perk from the AWC.
Before it was so that any soldier that reached a higher rank would not be able to get a perk if the AWC rolled the perk to be given to the soldier at a lower rank when he currently is.
This is supposed to be what this mod fixes.

Example: You have someone at Major-Rank, but the AWC rolls his perk to be acquired at Captain-rank. In Vanilla, he would have thus missed his chance. With the mod he should still get it if you check his skills in the barracks.

There appears to be one caveat to every solder getting a perk. It appears to assign this on promotion. If you already have Col. rank soldiers they don't appear to get anything.

Not just colonel. It chooses a random rank, undepend on what rank your soldier has.

I have six colonels right now and none of them got anything from the AWC after installing the mod.

yeah, AWC not guaranteed hidden perk for every soldier. so.. bad luck?

Go to the Armory, View Soliders, use the little right arrow to go through all your soldiers. This will popup the awarded skill even if they are already a Colonel. This also works for any ranked soldier that was awarded one of the hidden skills before you had time to build the AWC. So if some Lt. got one but hasn't ranked up yet, going to the soldier view and scrolling through all your soldiers will prompt it to get awarded.

Concerning this...3 of the Colonels I got from scannings/missions/bought did not get an AWC-Perk this way. One I got from scanning however did, as well as one I bought(only got one from a mission, and that guy is in those 3 up there).

How it changes it is: When you build the AWC, the game rolls what rank the soldier has to be to get that perk, and if the soldier is higher than the random rank it generated, the soldier cannot get a random ability

This mod makes it so it won't do that

What if you buy or get rewarded a soldier with a specific rank, how does this affect the hidden perk?

@nielsnb Either way you would have to roll them in the AWC to get the hidden perk. Instead of denying you a hidden perk because you made the AWC too late or you enrolled a soldier in the AWC after they level up a couple times, now you can at least always have a chance for that hidden perk.

I'm not sure, what is unclear about the description. Unless you've played xcom for less than 5hours, it should be blatantly obvious.
