New PE Rank Insignias

[House-Bro]

I thought it was pretty boring that the Wehrmacht and the Panzerelite share the same Rank Insignias just with a different color...
So i made some new Insignias for the PE, which resembles the Collar Tabs of the SS.

I hope you guys like them! Here are some examples (Not all 20, but i hope you get the picture... ^^):

Spoiler

- Level 5
- Level 10
- Level 15
- Level 20

Note: Level 8 looks a bit odd, because what relic made level 8 ("Stabsscharführer") wasnt really a rank, but a position in a company, same like "Kompaniefeldwebel" would be in the Wehrmacht.
Just so you know!

Edit:
I remade the Rank insignias. They are medium sized and level 8 is improved a bit, level 1 is displayed similar to the Wehrmacht level 1, but in black... I hope you like them that way! If you prefer the "older ones" just PM me!

I like it very much, but the first rank and the 8th look not so good...

[Darkbladecr]

Look fresh and new, great work

how to install them?

[House-Bro]

You have to use corsic or the skininstaller... If you don't know how to use either of those, just message me...
Fuck I'm drunk! ^^

Like 'em very much...

Is there a chance to fix panzer_08.rgt?

[House-Bro]

Sure can I change it... The Problem is, "Stabsscharführer" wasn't exactly a rank in the Waffen-SS, but a position in the company... So I didn't find a good way to display it!

I'll think of a different way to make level 8! Will post it here if I finish something!

I don't like my level 8 symbol either, but I wanted to fit all the displayed ranks to the title given...

[firefish]

Hmmm... I see...

But what you were trying to achieve with the rank Stabsscharführer?

The Wehrmacht heer_08.rgt icon is Oberfeldwebel and so it's Panzerelite counterpart should be Hauptscharführer...

Perhaps the prob were caused by trying to make a Panzerelite counterpart of it's own to heer_04.rgt Stabsgefreiter... In fact there wasn't a pendant to Stabsgefreiter within the panzerelite (and actually there weren't any ranks below Unterscharführer/Unteroffizier worn on the sonderbekleidung (camouflage and snow clothing)!).

Maybe one possible solution would be to use the same panzerelite rank panzer_03.rgt as counterpart for heer_03.rgt Obergefreiter AND heer_04.rgt Stabsgefreiter, cause to me your panzer_04.rgt Unterscharführer imperatively has to match with heer_05.rgt Unteroffizier

What do you think?

[House-Bro]

You're right, that is what i planned to do right from the start...
The problem is, that the names of the ranks wouldn't fit with the collar tab that is displayed...
That bothers me a bit... If I wouldn't care about that, I would do something similar to what you just recommended...

Edit:

I've remade all of the insignias, they are now a bit smaller (they were a bit too big...).
But before I'll release them, I wanted to show you guys some suggestions for the new level 8 symbol:

Tell me which one you like the most, then I'll pack it all up and upload them.

I kinda like the first example, with the silver tresse around the collar tab, and it looks the most "real". Considering we'd be viewing it ingame against the dark grey background, where it'll be very noticable, i like it.

[House-Bro]

Thanks! To be honest I started using my new symbols recently, and I use the one you mentioned myself for level 8...

[firefish]

Well... The first one I like the most, too... Let them comin'

[House-Bro]

Edited the 1st post, the new ones are ready for download! Thanks guys!
