I've made a list of the icons of the unit ranks in CC5 default game. I dont use any rank mod and I think this could be useful for people like me. Thank you for posting this info about the section leader, i didn't knew that before reading it. Now i'll improve my strategy in order to keep my officers alive and earning medals.

Its incredible, for example, how the RAF Spitfires had to stop de V-2 missiles by reaching the same speed of the rocket and desestabilizing them by rubing with their wings.

correction: Those were the V-1, the V-2 were too fast for any allied fighter. |

| Without the "Flying Fortress" and the "Liberators" droping bombs over the axis industry, hitler's war machine would have never been shooted down. Besides the blitzkrieg was based not only on tanks also on stuka bombers. I think now that planes fly at match X speeds the "dog fight" of WW (I and II) it's impossible, but it was a really nice duel on the European sky. Its incredible, for example, how the RAF Spitfires had to stop de V-2 missiles by reaching the same speed of the rocket and desestabilizing them by rubing with their wings. |

Bombers and artillery destroys, grunts conquer.
They do the ugly work.

Perhaps you think as Lt. Rico from Starship Troopers : " The air force strolls while the infantry fights"
But don't forget that the bombers must arrive to the objective before droping their bombs. It wasn't easy for the Flying Fortresses to survive at the flack and fockewulf attacks on their way also the fighters had less fuel and could only scort them on short distances above the enemy lines. In WW2 many of the US losses were on the sky. |

| I think that you're focused on infantry war movies. There's a good film about the crew of a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, I've found it online and going to see right now. The film may be know by many of you, It's called "The Memphis Belle". |

And the name of the english version is't iron cross, it's "Cross of Iron"

| Hey, kelly's heroes is a really good film, I love it, very fun movie and also a realistic belic film. Dont forget another classic: The iron cross Where Clint Eastwood was Sgt. Steiner on the axis side fighting at Crimea against the USSR. Das boot it's nice too, as Platoon. But none of theese movies it's funny such as Kelly's Heroes. |

| I'm currently playing version 2.0 of this mod and i've found it very nice. Its a great work that some people has done to remeber that horrible war where men talking the same language killed each others for nothing. The sounds, the weapons and the troops are very nice. The maps names have great realism such as "cotas" and "Gandesa" and de desing is very awesome. I'm really enjoying this mod. Thanks to all the developers of "Clan Nomada". |
