Rank Threshold Fix
Not long ago rank thresholds were increased in an effort to make grinding a thing as there was concerns for awhile that earning rank was too easy.
With that being said, it appears we over-corrected and for ENLISTED RANKS we will be rolling back their original values.
Officer ranks will continue to be a grind though for progression.
Please review the modified rank threshold requirements effective today, September 25th 2026.
Ranks | Points Required (Before) | Points Required (Now) |
Recruit | 1000 | 100 |
Private | 3000 | 300 |
Lance Corporal | 5000 | 500 |
Corporal | 7500 | 750 |
Sergeant | 10000 | 1000 |
Color Sergeant | 12500 | 1250 |
QM Sergeant | 15000 | 1500 |
Sergeant Major | 20000 | 2000 |
2nd Lieutenant | 30000 | 5000 |
1st Lieutenant | 45000 | 7500 |
Captain | 60000 | 10000 |
Major | 80000 | 20000 |
Lt. Colonel | 100000 | 50000 |
We appreciate your feedback and we also wanted to let you know, that for our Air Force pilots... we're working on an all-new "Air-to-Air" kill score (plus Victory Points) currently in development.
Let us know what you think, comment below!
As a returning player regaining rank I believe it's to easy with this... maybe at most halving it would have been sufficient... Like Say instead of 10000 for a given rank making it 5000 instead of 1000.... Seems to easy.... Then again if you're trying to entice new players I guess....
The old scale was plenty good enough. Never needed to change. The grind in a paid sub game isnt necessary.
Moving it back is too easy. This is an overcorrection. Start with a basic 250 CP per ranks up to Corporal. This would require 1000 XP to make Corporal. From there on for Sergeant ranks make it a set 1000 XP per rank. This makes it take effort, but the highest enlisted rank takes only 5000 XP to attain. Then make it 5000 XP for each of the Lieutenant ranks. Make it 10000 XP for Captain and Major, and then 15000XP for Lt Colonel. In the end this still maxes out at 50000 XP, but it is a more consistent rate of advancement. Jumping 3K to get 2nd Lt and then then dropping to 2.5K to make 1st Lt…
Could double the point requirements for the lower ranks. Makes it a bit more difficult without being excessive.
Why go all the way back? Now it is too easy again; Sheesh, get it right, make it 5x
