Bless you, Tessa! This is a mod that should have been done from day one.

I've never quite understood why, but past discussions of this usually ended with some long-time modder or member stating that ranks were hard-coded and messing with the configs would cause CTDs or corrupted career saves. Hence, no way to "climb the ladder" as a measure of your skills rather than merely "hot-rodding" your boat and/or surviving the war.

I belive I am not alone in greatly anticipating your reworking of the awards.

It would be wonderful if you and Jaesen could get together and have him help you to intergrate the new ranks and awards into his SH3 Commander.

This would also add realism by using his "random crew transfers" feature to reflect that your WO or CE got promoted to command their own u-boat, if possible.

Too bad there's currently no known way to promote ordinary crew and petty officers to officer ranks for replacing any officers that get transferred or promoted out. Then again, higher ranks for your u-boat commander wasn't supposed to work, either, according to common wisdom.

Keep up the great work, Tessa!

P.S. Wouldn't this technically be more suitable for posting in the SH3Mods Workshop section?
