Starting rank in SH4

hyperion2206 · 01-28-07, 06:15 AM

Does anybody know which rank we'll be granted upon our first patrol?
I've read that the captains of the bigger subs were LTCDR and the captains of S-class subs were LT.
I'll guess we'll start as an Ensing anyway:p

Seaman, First Class.

That's ok for me as long as I don't have to start as a Marine!:p

If you start as an Ensign, you better be the Exec, and not the C.O.

is an ensign like a midshipman?

The Ensign is the same rank as the Leutnant z.S. in the German Navy. A Midshipman (in the US Navy) is the equivilant to the Oberfähnrich z.S. in the German Navy.

Me too but never the 'Skipper' of a Sub. And could not be with SFC rank.

Really? Are you sure? We'd better check the WWII records just to be sure that there were no Seaman CO's. I want this to be historically accurate.

Then you should have a leg up on the rest of us. Mind if I pick your brain on how to kiss up to the chief? I really don't want to spend all of my SH4 time peeling potatoes.
