Keeping Rank Side Switching when Overpoped

[Keyopp]

Do you  keep your Rank  when you switch sides? 

When the server  says requesting reinforcements.

Or do you have to start from the bottom again. I

noticed that my % and points needed are different

in personas. Is there an incentive to go to under pop side if your rank is lower and need more points then original.

As far as I know, your rank remains regardless. Of course it would be a bloody good wheeze if your rank slowly reduced over time, and would not increase through kills, every second you spent playing for the over-pop side when you usually play.... For most of us, who win and lose roughly equal numbers of campaigns, it would not matter, as out  over-pop and under-pop terms would be roughly equal. For the few who only play overpop..... <evil grin>

Ranks go up in unison to a certain point (I think level 5 or 6 where the majority of equipment becomes avail).   After that point ranks become segmented by country/branch.  so it is possible to be a LTC in one country/branch, but a lower level in another.

Iirc "Major" is the cut-off point, afterwhich rank climbs according to individual persona.
