Well, yesterday in the C- box, I read something about the Russian ranks "Praporchsik" and "Starshina Praporschik" havn't actually existed during the WW2 period. My own searching vastly used to proove this fact. Those two ranks used to get issued in the Imperial Russian army and got abolished by the commies in 1917.
So although they reinstalled the ranks in the 1970's, during the 1940's, no Praporschiks's served in the Red army at all.
Well, that actually kind of bugs me and so I'd like to ask for my Sergey- character to get the rank "Starshina" instead (the real, highest NCO- rank). And I'm all for deleting those two ranks out of the lists, as things should get kept as realistic as possible. But that's only my two cents of course.
