Is this now fooockin correct, I would like to use this...

@Jeeves awesome! thanks for the information

Soldat was up to 1939, Schütze from there was up to 1942, and Grenadier was from 1943 to 1945 when the game takes place, I find a few reenactors agree on THIS website as a reputable source: http://www.alternatewars.com/BBOW/Ranks/Heer_Enlisted_WW2.htm

Grenadier-game reduction of panzergrenadier. A panzergrenadier-mobile infantryman. Panzergrenadier is not a rank.

@Loli-chan :'3

I have several conflicting research on this. Some souce call it Schutze, some Grenadier, some Soldat. Since the original title DOI used is Soldat, I've decided to go with that.

If anyone could clarify the difference between those titles, I would really appreciate it!

Soldat? lol, maube Schütze?)))

PROMOOOOOOOTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

UPDATE: To preserve the last 4 ranks as officer ranks, in line with DOI, I have decided to move every rank up 1 level.

If you already have this mod installed, you will notice that you have been promoted!

+rep

Just add in a cool race car stripe to each level and then replace every texture with the Skyrim snow texture to give the game the edge it so desperately needs. Thank me later.

wellllll, if doi ditdnt skip it this would be more realistic xD

I agree completely with your information. However, since following DOI original title would cause the amount of stripes to skip around, I decided the change the title of the ranks as well.

If you look at the second picture (the table one) on the right most column, that's the rank title and insignia this mod changes to.

Unterzoffizer should have one stripe only, but you can use Stabsgefreiter because due to a lack of NCO's they used stabsgefreiters as NCO's.
Feldwebel should have 3 stripes (becuz DOI skipped Unterfeldwebel)
Oberfeldwebel should have 4 stripes (no 5 becuz DOI skipped Stabsfeldwebel)
Oberleutnant it should have 2 stripes and a flower thing at the top
Hauptmann should have 3 stripes and a flower thing
Major should have a stripe but 2 flower things at the top
Oberst should have 3 stripes and 2 flower things
otherwise i think its correct :/

@Laxtall I see. Thanks for the information! I only did research specifically for Wehrmacht/Heer and couldn't find any reference to a 3 chevron rank.

I cross referenced multiple sources and all I have come across seem to agree with these insignia/title match up (for sleeves).

@Animefreak As far as I understand it, the SS used the same sleeve insignia and only differ in collar inisignia. My apologies if my research was wrong.

wellll, i think some are wrong

Well the 3-chevron rank did exist until 1944 in the Luftwaffe only, it was called Hauptgefreiter. In 1944 it was changed to Stabsgefreiter with the army insignia introduced.

Censored SS divisions to be precise(goddammit valve let me edit my comments like you would in the forums section fookin hell)

But aren't a few of the ranks Waffen SS ranks?Correct me if I am wrong,also we can use the SS divisions.

Feind ist tot !

OY vey goyum, keep that political correctness like the good goyum you are.

Keep comments civil guys....

Oy vey, it's like anuddah shoah! Quick Moishe, call up the ADL and the JIDF! Shut it down!

I'd use this if it kept the default officer ranks insignia, which are accurate and better looking, anyway.

very cool, I like it.

Guys, this is my first workshop upload ever. I never expected such good feedback, let alone get on the front page. Thank you all for your support!

cool

nice, THX

@[GES]-Waffen-SS- Savage @skateboarder900
Yay, I'm not the only one bothered by the original ranks! :P

finnally, someone decides to make a realistic mod for the german ranks. :D

Nice mod. Can't stand the idea of having ranks like colonel and major when most of the conflicts in this game are on a small scale.

@SomeDude glad you like it! Please give a thumbs up and favorite the mod if you can!

good mod

Ayy faq u Rymd I ain't dumb

Thanks for the words, might have misunderstood you there on your first message, cheers everyone.

Haha, nah man, not that. It doesn't matter if you are or aren't to me, you should know as well as I do that there will always be people who won't read the description no matter how obvious or vague you make it. It's merely just a little amusing to me that as an active mod creator for many games on the workshop people's blatant ignorance (prevalent in just about every thread for a mod you're involved in) still gets to you. Once you've given all the ncessary information as a publisher, it ceases to be your problem. But you might be asking for it if you start encoding all your descriptions lol

@Rymd @Smug Anime Man
It's actually my fault. I didn't really make it clear that the mod doesn't affect arm patches in the original description (I edited that in later).

While I do plan to update it to affect arm patches, I don't think I'm going to attempt that until the devs actually fixed current issues with the patches.

@Smug Anime Man
Not sure what you mean by that, but if you're implying that I'm a hypocrite, then you're wrong, I put the essential information in the description my mods and it's really tiring to see people asking question that they can answer themselves just by reading the description.

Maybe I should release my future mods with cryptic messages then, probably the description but it's encoded in base64.

@smug glad you like it! :)

Rymd you remind me of a guy who hates the ocean, but chooses to work as a sailor.

Nifty mod btw. Always liked those high rank German patches.

so what are descriptions for ?

utterly tired of you people

So... do the officer ranks appear on the sleeve now?

:O oh mein gott dat is cool!
