Militaries have changed their structures throughout history, so it makes sense to me that there may be differences between modern versions and those chosen for the year 2142.

What I find peculiar is that both the European Union and Pan Asian Coalition use the same ranks. However, I understand that the developers needed to use a universal ranking structure, since a player’s soldier is interchangeable between the two factions.

You EA sympathizer!!! j/k

To an average joe they might assume its like a Level 1 Lt then Level 2 Lt...

As I said before I know the proper order just disputing whether its obvious to ANYONE...

I agree with you.

I am the average Joe and will admit that I had no idea that they were out of order. I am not in the military so why would I know how the rank is suppose to go?

It shows a lack of attention to detail.

Like the radiation trefoil being upside down on the walker. It's correct on the equipment at the comm tower flag (Belgrade). My business is radiation protection.

proper trefoil

Funny.

Yea, ranks are "switched"? Then again, we don't have "Field Marshall" in the US Military either.

**DirtyLude** · 03-06-2007, 11:02 PM

How about Field Commissars?

**Acreo Aeneas** · 03-06-2007, 11:24 PM

Heh. Perhaps as a passing title in the Russian Army? (or maybe the former RLA - Russian Liberation Army?)

**Zid** · 03-07-2007, 01:19 AM

well whats a medic hub without a fresh supply of hepititis.

**Concr3te** · 03-07-2007, 02:29 PM

Blegh, I wish I had fancy stuff like that in my medpacks, the only things I can find in mine are Diceperines..

**Zid** · 03-08-2007, 02:15 AM

yeah DICEperines are fantastic fresh from sweden i hear.

**Concr3te** · 03-08-2007, 02:22 AM

Anyway, I would rather have Concr3terines, you know, the upgrade for the medpack coming in the next boosterpack, Medical Strike. Dice said that they would have super fast healing power but the negative thing about them is that you won't be able to send proper radio messages after eating them...
