Russian Rank Insignias

[Dragon93]

Does anyone know what i have to change in the file:

data\Crew\Body\Body01\Ranks

So that i can replace the insignias in Rank_Deco_ND with these:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_ranks_and_insignia_of_the_Russian_Federation ,

Without the computer still showing where the old insignia was, like this:

At the top of the new ones you can see grey triangles, how can you tell the computer the shape of the new insignia.

Shoolder loops of moddern pattern are different from used during WWII. See here for uniform http://www.rkka.ru/iuniform.htm Furthermore, there were no boards before 1943. Green board with red ribbons presented on your screen are used by Army not Navy, which uses black and gold/yellow colors.:cool: See also here

but the picture is a navy insignia, it is from a Midshipman.
See:

The black and gold is for higher ranks like Lieutenants, admirals and captains.
I am using more modern things because i think that the mod i am helping is to add a modern Akela, plus russian ranks, names etc.
Does any one know how to tell the game the shape of a insignia, so that when i change them the game dosen't show the shape of the old one with the new textures?

I ensure you that wikipedia is wrong with this picture.

This is midshipman's insignia since 1943 and until 1960s
