You guys have created a historically precise game which I've mostly enjoyed putting in over 2500 hours the past year. I notice some features get improved while others get added. The issue here is the LAV rank requirement.

In real life an LAV platoon commander is an 03 or Lieutenant. The youngest VC (Vehicle Commander) is a Sergeant. on the contrary Russian BTRs are spawned at Sergeant and FIA BTRs are spawned at Partisan. How come you guys are arbitrarily making the rank a Captain to spawn and command an LAV? US team is already more expensive and hard enough with newbies etc.

Here are Real References from Military Manuals:

Platoon Table of Organization & Equipment (TO&E)

• Vehicle 1: Commanded by the Platoon Commander (O-2 / Lieutenant).

• Vehicle 2 (Alpha Section Wingman): Commanded by a Sergeant (E-5).

• Vehicle 3: Commanded by the Platoon Sergeant (E-6 Staff Sergeant or E-7 Gunnery Sergeant).

• Vehicle 4 (Bravo Section Wingman): Typically commanded by the junior vehicle commander in the platoon, which is historically a Corporal (E-4)

Rank: "Marine must be the rank of Corporal (E-4) through Staff Sergeant (E-6)". [1]

The Marine Corps Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) Manual (MCO 1200.17)

For an LAV crewman (MOS 0313)

"Corporals who complete their time as gunners and demonstrate leadership are routinely slotted into the VC seat as part of their expected professional development."
