Rank, Insignia, and how it works
Posted: Thu Feb 11, 2016 10:34 pm
How is rank supposed to be displayed in Long War?
I know how it works based on the posted mechanics behind the mod just not sure how it's displayed. In my Long War game, my officers keep their LAST stripes (enlisted rank insignia) +plus+ their PREVIOUS medals denoting EARLIER Officer ranks, while correctly states CURRENT rank name.
Summation:
Soldier earns 3 stripes - promoted to Lieutenant: displays 3 stripes, 1 medal, says "Lieutenant"
Same Soldier 3 stripes - promoted to Captain: displays 3 stripes, 2 medals, says "Captain"
I expected to see Stripes (as per usual in game & LW mod) until Officer promotion would replace Stripes with bars & leaves and only single medal denoting current officer rank.
I just want to know if this is by design/limits of the mod or is something off in my game?
And how to change it - if possible?
The old military man in me goes bonkers seeing Stripes labeled Officer - this is just an inquiry, not a rant
Thank you!
