Rank is equal for everyone, subscribed or not. But it is going to be hard for the fly boys to get to anything now since they removed the infantry units attatched to the brigades a couple years back. The Navy still holds on to a few selected inf units if you want to level there.   So long Slpr

Thanks for the reply. I assume it is the same for paid subscriptions (60,000 points)?

It likely has to do with the 1.38.1.0 update (VP Update). The readme shows increased rank thresholds. https://www.wwiionline.com/post/readme-1-38-1-0

I noticed that it is 60,000 points to go from captain to major. I swore it used to be a LOT less last time I played. Was that changed from years ago or is it because I am free to play and have a different set of requirements?

In answer to your question. The downloaded installer can be stored anywhere you have access to, space available as well as read/write/execute file access to. You can then run the downloaded installer package from where ever it is located. When you launch the downloaded installer package and answer "Yes" to the prompt the downloaded installer package decompresses the real installer package to where ever your system has its "temp folder" set to. Typically on the C: drive. If the drive where that folder is located has space issues there is the possibility of the decompressing failing. The actual installers IS LARGER than the downloaded installer package.  Cheers.
