thanks for your comments and you are right, it is different.

Within the 1.5 UBM SH4, on the US-side, a user-player begins as a LtCdr and has the capability of two promotions. on the German-side, there are five or six ranks that a user-player may acquire.

so, my thought was that if i change my starting rank to LT (and a couple of other parameters) i could maybe extend the range of ranks to four.

however, after playing a while with that rank and having over a dozen successful missions, my rank is still LT. that behaviour leads me to believe that user-player promotions seem to be hard-coded by UBI.

all of the ranks are properly defined but Ubi's design for a US commanding officer do not have the wherewithal to advance a user-player from LT to LtCdr.
