Around about patrol 5 or patrol 6 Josef Erdmann's (the chief eng.) rank drops from Leutnant zur See to either Oberbootsmann or Bootsmann.

The other effected characters seem to remain as Matroonsen Obergefrieter once they get "demoted" from Kapitan zur See.

I found a file that refers to their ranks as well as various interior sub systems and other crewmembers (ActiveUserPlayerUnits.UPC) and tried to edit it but it had no result in game.

Have you edit the File with notepad and write in the file the correct ranks, but they don´t show correct in game ? ´

When yes, I don´t know why....?

I'll be totoally honest with you, Magic, I am not a skilled modder and I don't understand the SHV file structures. So what I tried was looking for other crew members with the same or similar ranks to the ones that werew wrong and copied the rank details across. It's made harder because the ranks aren't named but are grouped (eg: Seaman, Jr-NCO, Sr-NCO) followed by a number. I can't find any entry for officer ranks apart from CO.

I have neither the knowledge or ability to move any further forward with this I'm afraid. I just hope that at some stage someone who does have the neccessary skills will find this info useful.
