Officer Ranks
The more you play Memoir '44 Online against live opponents (but not Johnny the Computer AI!), the more experience you will gain. Eventually, you will begin to move up the ranks in your career as an army Officer.
Initially, you start the game as a Cadet. To be promoted to Second Lieutenant, you will need to score at least 3 victories against other human opponents.
Moving further up the ranks will progressively become more challenging, reflecting the skills you will have developed. Exactly what is required to move beyond Second Lieutenant is still Classified, and has only been discovered by a few, but Intelligence reports are beginning to come in, offering tantalizing hints of what it may take to advance one's career.
By default, you receive a US Army Officer Insignia and Title, but you may choose to switch this to a diferent nationality: British, Russian, French, German, Japanese or Italian. The Insignia and Title will appear next to your name, and reflect your choice of nationality. The following table gives you the correspondence between the different nationalities.
