[REQ] Medals & Ranks?
Has anyone looked at the, yuk, medals and , shudder, ranks? The ranks are not accurate at all for the time. The medals are just cracker jack box trinkets.
Can we lose the 2 top Chiefs, these ranks did not exist then, and gain a Lt. Commander and a Warrant? Probably not though, these are probably hard coded, but could the 2 senior Chiefs become Warrants 1 & 2, if there have to be 9 enlisted ranks? The seaman ratings are not quite right either . The medals: Campaign Star look vaugly familiar but I don't have clue what it is. The Submarine Service medal looks sort of like commendation The Medal of Valor looks a lot like a Soviet Order of Glory The Victory Cross looks most like a George Cross The Wound Medal is simply a generic Purple Heart like thing without George. The Patrol Star models a Silver Star pretty closely. I wonder if some one official objected to real US decorations being used? I think this kind of thing is just childish.
