I'm wondering which is the highest rank in WOE?

 

I think its 4 stars. Hard to go higher than that......

[Viggen 644]

I currently have 4 stars which makes me a General or Admiral or Air Chief Marshall. I hate it though.

[FOTF 0]

I'm a Rear Admiral......whatever the hell that is

[triplethr3at 0]

Im a brigadear general

[+Typhoid 231]

i've made 4 stars a couple of times and start over with a new name in a new campaign, load, etc.

[+Spectre_USA 7]

Ditto Typhoid.

 

4 stars get retired. Have a new Captain running `round in NATO Fighters 2 currently.

[+Dave 2,322]

I am a 4 star and havent been retired. It takes forver to get that rank. Its the same pilot i started using in 2002. I just started a new one he is a new 1st Lt after my 5th mission.

I don't mean the game retired him, I did.

 

e usually just hits the range on occasion, if a new system comes out, or for refresher training.

Or maybe let you go to DC in a FPS mode & bitch-slap McNamara as a reward for living through the stupid RoE (for WoV, anyway)

In BoB I usually start out as Pilot Officer and quite quickly transfer to Ensign in my inflatable dingy...

[Wolf65 0]

So what do i need to get to the final rank, i'm currently a Lieutenant General.

[Viper6 3]

Any of us that have flew well will get to full bird and above, but why is a 1,2,3,star Gen. flying missions? (lol) His ass should be in Washington some where.

[JediMaster 451]

Right, Colonel should be the last one, although on occasion generals will fly for a specific purpose. Never in combat, though.

Rgr that, they are much too "IMPORTANT" (lol) to risk that star studded butt! Remember that rescue mission to get that Col. (Gene Hackman played him in the movie) the loss of life to get one man was great, begs the question was it worth it? being a Ex-serviceman myself, "I'd do it for you man" comes to mind.

I'm all in favor of O-5's being rescued!!!!!

 

[+Crusader 2,101]

I changed the amount of points needed to get promoted, that way I stay a ensign or whatever much longer....

never checked how it affects the AI pilots in a campaign ( squadron flight roster), but I guess there arent any bad effects.

They probably enjoy the same delayed promotion chain as I do

 

the promotion points are int he MISSINCONTROL.ini, FLIGHT folder, MissionData.cat... iirc..

 

the stock entries look like this ( for SF:P1):

 

[PR]

SR001=0

SR002=5000

SR003=12000

SR004=25000

SR005=40000

SR006=75000

SR007=120000

SR008=160000

SR009=240000

SR010=360000

MR001=0

MR002=5

MR003=10

MR004=20

MR005=30

MR006=50

MR007=70

MR008=90

MR009=120

MR010=150

 

I guess that

SR = Soldiers Rank

MR = Mercenary Rank

 

I haven't figured out why the MR values are lower, it could be that a different modifier is used by the game for them.

No idea.

I know that if I double the SR values it takes longer to get promoted, since I need twice as many points.

Especially if it were my O-5 butt that needed to be picked up!

[Mannie 21]

Well, I don't know how many stars I have. all I know I'm a "Medal of honor decorated General."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers. <S>

Better than this I think is only "Tie Fighter" from the X-Wing series where one could achieve the rank of Grand Admiral and still be strapped in a Tie cockpit...

If you can poke around the file where the ranks are why not just remove everything above Colonel (or whatever is the highest active rank) and simply have it like that.

 

Also, MannieB., is that the default menus for Strike Fighters, becouse it looks a lot better (and more in the theme) than WoE?

Yes it is the SF default menu.

I don't have WoE.
