I’m level 49 Sgt Major, although I have been Second Lieutenant a few times. According tor the ruling you are only awarded cups for winning battles and heroism. On numerous occasions I have been awarded 1 or 2 Battle Hero awards for Pilot and Mortar man or more commonly rifleman, but these have been when we’ve lost the battle. Despite being recognized as a hero you are still punished at second Lieutenant level if you lost the battle. No points are given for heroism in a losing battle, yet in many battle during war soldiers are awarded medals for heroism.
I’m not a real soldier and this is only a game, but when you are playing with other people in the game you are punished for their ineptitude. It’s not as if we can choose which people we play with, that’s what the custom matches are for, the general part of the game is totally random.
Just a thought.
And still people have 400+ rank point
Just remember that from developers’ POV, the ranking system so far is just yet another cosmetic gimmick to encourage you to play more. Nothing more, nothing less.
The rank icon doesn’t really mean anything, because bots also get a random one.
By hitting marshal level, you will be awarded a 5 stars Rifleman III soldier for US in Normandy, with random statistics (not even maxed).
If you play regularly, you’ll eventually get there no matter what.
If by any reason you want to rank up faster, just play the factions with the better win rates (currently Moscow Allies and Berlin Allies).
Some say ranking may possibly affect matchmaking in the future, but I wouldn’t bet money on that.

I never trusd Devs again
Im sure there’re bigger nerd than me, i play like every day, some ppl play all day long.
The loss comes in when you reach Second Lieutenant and above. I gained 5 from two back to back wins yesterday, then I got matched with weak players and gained hero awards but still lost 3 of the 5 points I gained over the next 3 matches. Out of annoyance, I quit and went and play COD instead.
Oh mate, I seen a few things that have really boiled my piss, like being shot by a rifle through walls, not in a pillbox but in a house, or a stone wall. A tank has been flagged as a target, and as I’m lining up my mortar or even the plane it disappears only to be in the same spot a few meters away. Oh an grenade trajectory is rubbish, it’s like a girl throwing.
I am well past Marshall at 257 rank points, I just get Battle Hero every single match.
