So, as I have every once in awhile for the last 10 years or so (probably longer, whenever CC2 came out), I found my way back into playing Close Combat 5.

One thing I like to do when playing is rename my units to reflect their platoon roles. So that "AB Command Squad" becomes something like "1st PLT HQ," and the other squads follow. I like to give each platoon objectives, and it makes it feel more like an actual company rather than a haphazard group of squads.

Here's a minor detail that has been bothering me though - rank. I'm sick of seeing three First Sergeants leading every command team and no officers. Most of the regular squads seem fine (usually sergeants or something, which is fine), but I can't understand why a fresh unit jumping into Normandy on D-Day isn't structured correctly. I could understand it if maybe the unit has been in combat for awhile and lost many leaders, but on day 1?

I know it's a minor quibble that doesn't really affect gameplay, but I was wondering if there was anything out there that fixes this. Thanks!

I absolutely love this mod, but am I missing something about the vetmod? I have version 1.13, but it sure doesn't seem like a vetmod is in play here. AI isn't really attacking, teams are same size as always. Is there another thing I need to download?

I'm playing a grand campaign with the Okinawa Mod and having a blast, but there is a problem that's annoying me to no end. I've pushed pretty far south, but for some reason every single turn the Japanese 22/24 battlegroup shows up at Shuri Castle. Is this supposed to happen, or is it a glitch, and if so how do I fix it?

I've been playing CC games since they came out and I love them. I've probably logged more time playing CC5 than any other game, and no matter what current stuff I have I always go back to CC.

However, I have two nitpicks that kind of annoy me. They don't hurt the game in any way, but I figure they should be modable. The first is rank. Why do all my companies have like 4 first sergeants? Sometimes I will have a command squad led by a regular sergeant, but a rifle squad in that platoon has a first sergeant. Not to mention the fact that I rarely see any officers. I get them sometimes, but the majority of the time my command squads are led by sergeants, something that is historical but only to a point. I would really like to see a realistic rank system for every company, at least before they've fought any battles. It kind of bothers me seeing so many first sergeants, especially if they aren't even the leaders of their squads!

My only other problem is that leaders seem to be the first ones killed all the time. I can have a squad in a building and they take fire from a machinegun and instantly the first one down is the leader. Now, this should happen sometimes, but the frequency I see it is a bit much. Does anyone know of a way to edit these things, or if it's already been done?

I've seen CC2 for like $5 in the bargain bin of a bunch of computer stores. Not CC1 though. Amazon maybe?

That's fantastic. Laughing

It's so nice to see new CC stuff around. I've been a fan of the series for years, and the one thing I notice is that whenever something new comes along, the same people show up, proving that the fans of this series stay with it. Congrats on the site!
