I'd vote for consistent vet 1 to 2 then a vet 3 symbol that stands out.

oh, one idea i did have once about vet was involving this thing: (if you rly want to use ur time about vet symbols  Cheesy)

leth that meter say on which vet level the unit you have selected right now is, and leth the bar around it show the amount of XP needed for the next vet level.
not only would that be cool, but you can also decide if you want to retreat ur unit or not, becouse you know exactly how much XP he has.

As cool as it would be to do that, it can't be done due to hard coded lines.

i tought you guys didnt have enough time to do everything(like gettin loading screens to work)
and now you all care about some vet symbols? everyboddy with a skinpack wont see the new symbols anyway.

What loading screens are you talking about? Maps? Those are up to the map creators. Our loading screen works 100% correctly, as do our backgrounds for the menu (which... who knows might get changed soon Tongue )

All in game artwork is of my own creation and I work, so when I said I was going to do this, it's because I feel unhappy with the current symbols and feel that you guys are as well. I'm a perfectionist by nature and hate seeing something out of place or messy.

Consistant all the way, up to vet 3, IMO.
Just make it look a bit more "dandy'ish"(bolt of lightning!) when at vet 3, but nothing standing out and extravagant.

As long as there's a way to know what the different symbols mean I vote for unique.

There was one in the Tiger Ace campaign, which could be used as Vet 3 or 1.

Personally I don't like the "private, captain, 3 star general" look we have going right now, but it's a hell of a lot better then those stupid bars relic put in, I really hate that relic changed how the vet and everything looks, but i guess it was necessary with all the things they changed.

Anyways I like the idea of consistantcy, but vet 3 would be unique. Uhg I wish I had my computer here, I would throw up some brainstorm ideas I've had for this. Anyways, what i think would be cool is either what akra is doing where you have all 3 vets with the same look, but vet 3 just has a golden background.

Or where you have vet 1 and 2 consistant then vet 3 would be unique. Examples:

US: vet 1 - 1 cheveron
      vet 2 - 2 cheverons
      vet 3 - golden or silver star

Wher: vet 1 - 1 diamond or stripe (all wher would be gray)
         vet 2 - 2 diamons or stripes
         vet 3 - iron cross

PE: vet 1 - 1 diamond or stripe (all PE vet would be the dark red they use)
         vet 2 - 2 diamons or stripes
         vet 3 - iron cross

Brits: vet 1 - 1 cheveron
        vet 2 - 2 cheverons
        vet 3 - the golden diamond or a crown


Another idea for PE and wher would be this:



Give wher the V marks for vet 1 and 2 and PE stripes or vice versa and keep them at iron crosses for vet 3.
