jumping in here....
i did a bit of testing with the user rank of LT.
the user-captain playing the US-side will never receive a promotion from LT. it is a design flaw within UBI and SH4.
that user-captain-rank did not cause a problem with awards or boat upgrades, as i received several of each, and, after playing maybe a dozen missions, i never experienced a CTD.

if you are experiencing CTD, it is most likely not caused by your user-captain-rank of LT.
good luck, Herr Kaleun.
