Dragan Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) Hello everyone, I'm curious how you achieve a promotion/rank? What is it based on, is it flying hours, kills, total score, or number of missions completed/landings?Which of the following is most important for promotion to a higher rank?Thanks...

Second Lieutenant: -0 flight hours First Lieutenant: -15 flight hours Captain: -30 flight hours Major: -60 flight hours Lieutenant Colonel: -120 flight hours Colonel: -240 flight hours 1 1

SmukY Posted May 9 Posted May 9 In regards to the medals there are 8 and they are awarded based on overall score. Here is every medal with the required score to obtain it in order: Air Medal: 200 points Purple Heart: 600 points Bronze Star: 1000 points Airman's Medal: 1400 points Distinguished Flying Cross: 1800 points Silver Star: 2200 points Air Force Cross: 2600 points Air Force Medal of Honor: 3000 points IIRC medals differ from country to country too, but scores are same. 1 1 Helicopters don't fly, they just subdue the air.

Hog_driver Posted May 9 Posted May 9 (edited) Come on, does it even matter? (I'm a "colonel" BTW). With every promotion, we should get a module for free! Edited May 9 by Hog_driver 1
Dragan Posted May 9 Author Posted May 9 (edited) I already have these 8 medals, so that's the finish line, along with the rank of colonel in the USAF DCS. These are my achievements since August last year in A-10,with small breaks in flying due to other commitments. Edited May 9 by Dragan 1
Hog_driver Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I hope this feature is still WIP and as Colonels, we'll get better planes, graphics and performance! 1

Is it real or is it some kind of joke? Maybe I should have entered my real first and last name and not the made-up name from Tom Clancy's HAWX Edited May 9 by Dragan

Raisuli Posted May 29 Posted May 29 They permit Navy squadrons, should have Navy ranks. Got a medal of honor for aborting a mission because I realized I hadn't set the altitude on a waypoint. Wish they generated a citation. "For showing intrepidity (they love that word) above and beyond the call of duty by being too lazy to change the WP data on the fly at great personal risk..." The purple heart was for doing touch and goes. Not an enemy unit on the map, unless you count the plane captain who probably hurled sharp vituperation at me for the damage being done to her aircraft. When I did the cold re-install all my logbook data was lost, so my new pylote got all those medals again. It's oddly disturbing to me, honestly. Don't mind the rank, they should let us flag out the medals, though. None of it really means anything anyway.
