[WG-EU] Sehales WG Staff, Alpha Tester 3,016 posts 935 battles Report post #1 Posted April 13 Greetings captains, Did you know that the forum is fully available in all our supported languages? To switch to the other languages, simply use the "Language"-button at the bottom of the page. As part of the translation process, we have now added a variety of different forum ranks - all in the naval style of the different countries. Note that for many of you this may also bring a battlefield promotion: Posts needed Rank Insignia 0 Seaman 10 Able Seaman * 25 Able Seaman * 50 Leading Rate ** 75 Leading Rate ** 100 Petty Officer *** 200 Chief Petty Officer *** 300 Senior Chief Petty Officer **** 400 Warrant Officer **** 500 Officer Cadet ***** 1,000 Midshipman ***** 1,500 Sub Lieutenant ****** 2,000 Lieutenant ****** 2,500 Lieutenant Commander ******* 3,000 Commander ******* 3,500 Captain ******** 4,000 Commodore ******** 4,500 Rear Admiral ********* 5,000 Vice Admiral ********* 5,500 Admiral ********** 6,000 Admiral of the Fleet ********** Are you using the non-English version of the forums? Let us know what you think about it. Action Stations! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[WG-EU] Tuccy [WG-EU] WG Staff, Community, Alpha Tester 3,372 posts 5,850 battles Report post #3 Posted April 13 'fraid the formatting is a bit borked, will try to fix - the Sub Lieutenant is for 1,500 posts, Midshipman for 1,500. The mid ranks (Midshipman - Commander) did not really change, but there is now more ranks in the Enlisted and, of course, in the Flag country Note: For fun, you can switch around forum localizations :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would it be possible to post the old ranking structure for comparison? Sadly forgot to screenshot it, but as noted, between Midshipman and LtCdr it is basically unchanged (though max. amount of pips was 5). Captain and Commodore went down, though, and there were Admiral ranks added, as well as Enlisted (which is why the ranks in English are doubled in places - compared to the NATO rank structure, Royal Navy misses few steps other navies have ).
