In case that is not clear to anyone, SH3Cmdr does NOT modify strings 160 to 174 in **_menu.txt in any way.
I figured out how to re-add the expanded ranks you can put in to the 176-179 slots without casuing a conflict (and still staying correct and able to use the korvettenkapitan + ranks and images already included in SH's files). Was trying to use the menu_variable_en of your's that you used to insert all the extra radio dialogue doing so as per the difections in that file.

Alternatively, just make sure you apply your file changes to a clean state installation of SH3 (ie sans SH3Cmdr changes), OR apply your file changes to SH3Cmdr's "Static settings.cfg" file. That way SH3Cmdr will ALWAYS apply them to your game, regardless.
I'm sorry if it sounded offensive or that I was trying to blame SHC for the problems, I was frustrated that SHC wasn't acting as it should've even under the 2nd scenario you describe. The next patrol I started getting a chronic CTD problem and had to scrap that carreer and re-install from scratch (nuking any and all files and folders the (base) game creates).

After that whole ordeal started over at square 1 with SHC, and the modifications I added to the static_settings file and variable_menu_en and was able to get all the ranks to Vizeadmiral working again and change the medal values. Sorry that I did't make a post earlier say "everythings all fixed" as I should have. The CTD issues that were plaguing me before are gone and have even been able to successfully savegames while submerged (some times had no choice),early this week my Grandmother died and when I got the news was playing a game and submerged while in a safe (but not safe to surface) scenario and had to drop everything to travel up to her place and the funeral.

Some mods I had in use I cracked em open and instead of adding them with JGSME just added their changes in the static_settings file instead and drastically reduced the number of mods on my list, anything there now is something that is more major (like the gui mod, ship skin, etc.).

Is nice again to be able to use SHC's extra features and has made my games more stable. Scenarios where there would've been a 90% chance of CTD on loading the game, has no been reduced to 0 with SHC.
