Rank

Could someone tell me what the highest rank is you can obtain in the Gold Edition ?

Hey and Merry Christmas too

was this a silly question?

No, not to me. That's a very good question. I'd like to know exactly what you have to do to increase your rank. I've been stuck on Commander with three whatchamacallits for I don't know how long. I went through all of the USN surface and sub missions so now I'm going to start going into the other factions.

Btw, glad to be able to get rid of those other patches and just load the gold version. Works great and is much easier to load. =)

I found a list of ranks and promotions in the localization.txt file. Looks like these are it, I'm guessing. Promotions are below the ranks list. Not sure why there are more ranks than promotions. Maybe someone else knows.

I'd guess because you can only get to Captain in Chapter One.

So are you saying you start off as a captain in chapter 2 ?

We won't know 'til we see Chapter Two.

I thought someone might already know whats in chapter two after all this Forum is full of facts.

I hope that we get to command CAs and BBs and stuff in chapter 2.

enigma!:

Yeah, this forum is full of great stuff, but we won't know anything offical untill chapter 2 is out... (I'm used to saying that after being on the dev team for PA, lol)

a quote from a great film 'The Long Good Friday' ...

"someone somewhere must no something...just not natural not to know nothing"
