[Gen_Sandworm]

Sure thing. If any new members need help on figuring their rank icon out. Show them my thread on Rank Icons. I will wait as long as you want Gen. Sandworm for the new usergroup! Take your time on it.

If the topic is still alive, I would like to add a very good site about ranks and insignia of many countries allover the world:
http://www.uniforminsignia.net/
Could be very usefull for creating new rank systems and in the case if someone wishes to know the ranks of countries like Djibouti, Belize, Bhutan etc.

PS. There are ranks of different time periods and troops

Just a quick one, I’ve just noticed that the “British” ranks have “Staff Sergeant” as a rank. While that is a valid rank, it isn’t terribly warry - the infantry version is “Colour Sergeant” while the rear echelon types like myself have Staff Sergants. Perhaps swap them over?

@Gen_Sandworm

So as you have noticed you all now have rank insignia’s (As stated below). If you hover your mouse over your rank it should read “US Army Rank”. So you might see where im going with this. It is possible to have ranks according to country.

However there is a problem in the since that I cannot change the title above the rank. If you want to be comparitive with these ranks that is possible but your title will still be in the American ranking system. The image can be country oriented thou and I can put a note with each that can be read when hovered by mouse. So if you want to post your countries comparitive ranks here that would be great. I can also do other branches (Nayy, Marines etc…)

The images need to be single. NO BOARDERS! Just like the ones you have now. They must be of good quality(well at least that of the present ones). I will also need the name of each one. Remember they need to be on par with the ranks listed below or at least close. I know this list presents gaps in other military systems. The must also be WW2 ranks.

So all im saying is that this is possible! However its alot of work. So please only post those you would be interested in seeing. Im not going to do this for the every branch in entire world. Also this just worked in practice so im not promising anything but it should be able to happen.

Private
Private First Class
Corporal
Sergeant
Staff Sergeant(new rank)
Sergeant Major
Second Lieutenant
First Lieutenant
Captain
Major
Lieutenant Colonel
Colonel
Brigadier General
Major General
Lieutenant General

To enable different ranks go to User CP (User control panel) then scroll down the options bar on the left and click on group memberships. Then put a dot next to the ranking system you want. Then click join group. This is reversible in case you change your mind. Remember American ranking system is the default with insignia’s and titles. You can see what rank is called and what country it is from by hovering your mouse over the image.

More countries will be available as I post them.

I don’t know if I’ll get a reply, but I have no idea what you have to do to get promoted. I found General Sandworm’s ranking blog but I was not able to see /find out exactly how/when one gets promoted. I am sure there are a lot of new comers that are wondering this same question. If General Sandworm is still around could he, or another site rep pls direct me to the answer. Maybe I want to become General one day too!!Anyone out there know???

[Major_Walter_Schmidt]

its the number of postes, herman.

[herman2]

I know that , but what is the number per promotion. is it every 200 posts or every 1000?..IDoes the promotion take longer the higher up you go?..I see some of you with 2000 posts and I wondered how many posts do they need to get to General etc…:roll:

P.M. WWII admin, he will tell you. It is as said before according to your post numbers. now even though there is a rank system, it really is just for show, and has no actual function beyond the ornamental.It does not confer any special abilities on your membership. (no Sgt. Rock powerup.)

If aly gets going like that she’ll be a Field Marshal by the end of the month. Some guys will have to dress up warmly then!:shock:

The number of posts to get a promotion is deliberately hidden. Knowing how many posts would get you a certain rank, would, for some members be like a red rag to a Bull who would then start spamming away to gain the rank.

As a guide, look at your fellow posters ranks and then look at their post count. This will give you a rough idea of where you are and where your headed.

Needless to say the gap gets larger between ranks the higher the rank.

Cheers.

[herman2]

Oh Man!..I knew it would be tough. Oh well, I guess maybe when I’m 65 I might make Field Marshall…but it’s worth the anticipation. Thank You Honourable Firefly for that insight!

Bulgarian insignia sorry it’s only black and white but that’s what i found .

I’m a little confused as to why PDF and RS are described as Captain staff Members when one wears the stars of a lieutenant and the other the crown of a major.

[pdf27]

The system can only deal with US army ranks for the mods - were we to be set to them, our written and displayed ranks would match. Since it can’t deal with it, it displays our mod rank in text (captain in both cases), and that based on posts as the image underneath.

This is a useful system for achieving personal balance.

It allows me as a grumpy Australian major to bellow obscenities at my disgracefully shabby little American captain, yet as a Yank captain I can tell my overweight and obnoxious Australian major to get stuffed.

All of this happens in the knowledge that neither of us can put the other on a charge.
