Wacht am Rhein

Small update just to notify you all that I've tried to edit the LW ranks to the gold yellow colour used by the Fallschirmjäger but it turned out to be a trickier operation than I had anticipated. Nothing overly complicated, of course, but to do it properly I'd need some more time and dedication I can't spare at the moment. I'm putting it on hold, then, and will possibly resume the task in the future.

I'll see what I can do, then ;-)

Thank you! (taking just BF's recent titles into account) Well, kind of. AFAIK, CM:BN has a different background in the unit interface (brownish instead of green) and so they wouldn't blend as good; nothing a little editing can't amend, though... As for CM:RT, they haven't added Waffen-SS yet, but then it will be of course possible!

Ok, I just wanted to let you guys know that my version of Waffen-SS (and Luftwaffe, too) ranks is on greenasjade.net for anyone who might be interested in using it (here). (also, sorry for the double post but apparently it's impossible to edit one's post after some days since it's been originally posted)

Thank you for the explanation, Ken - I must reckon that it makes sense, although the way they chose to display those ranks still leaves me a bit baffled (by the way, I was checking the same table you linked me, hence my bemusement by the game's graphical choice). However, to amend that and to make Waffen-SS collar tabs look like they should, I've made that little mod I was typing about in the OP. While I was at it, I've also remade the Luftwaffe ranks to look in the same style (plus a couple, small extras). I'm going to post it on the greenasjade site as soon as I register there, too. Cheers!

Hi all, having decided to make myself a little mod to change the appearance of Waffen-SS ranks, I noticed that the order of the vanilla ones seems to be inaccurate. To make but one example, SS-Unterscharführer ("02" in game) comes apparently before SS-Sturmmann ("03" in game). Now, I wrote "apparently" because I wanted to ask: does the naming of the files (german ss rank 00, german ss rank 01, etc.) actually match the order in which they are used in game (i.e. rank 01 comes before 02 but after 00)? It may seem a silly question but I'm sincerely wondering as this appears to be a very strange oversight for a company which pays so much attention to detail like BF. I'd like to point out that I'm currently using Juju's Blitz UI which, however, I suspect doesn't mix the order of vanilla ranks. Thank you a lot in advance!
