Factory Sapping and multiple ranks

Since my last post, a lot seems to have happened in the world of Battleground Europe, at least for me. I finally hit rank 2 in the air force and the navy!

The pic to the left shows how I gained rank in the air force, well completed the first rank. I needed about 50 points for rank 2 and so I spent a while bombing bridges with attack orders on. Each bridge bombed gives you 30 points and although it did take some time (my bombing needs work), I managed to get my rank. Rank 2 doesn’t actually give you anything else that I can see as most of the new planes come at rank 3. I also achieved a new rank in the navy by playing as navy infantry mostly, though I did spend some time hunting tanks from a river in a Fairmile (small attack vessel).

The most recent squad night went well for the Hussars. Some of you will have read my post about us sapping factories to slow resupply, well we did it again. The pic to the right shows us all waiting in the woods for our truck to arrive, after landing in a nearby field. Hats off again to Igor for driving a truck for 3 1/2 hours earlier in the day so it would be waiting for us after our flight.

Thanks to Icecoldj we have a video of the factory sapping for you all to see.

Finally I have just hit rank 7 in the French Army after finishing off a German FB which means I can use a Sniper rifle again. “Hang on” some of you might say “I’m sure I read your post saying you got the Sniper at rank 5″, well your right I did say that. In fact I have actually used the Sniper rifle once before at rank 5. The game Dev’s then changed the ranks so it was rank 7, which means I’ve only just got the chance to use it again.

Doc and Motormouth, if your reading this please don’t change the Sniper rifle to a higher rank. I want to actually try it out for a bit first.

Well that’s what I’ve been up to in BE for the last week or so, I’ll be working more Air/Navy rank in the future so I can use sappers and other infantry equip when on those persona’s. Of course there are the additional planes and boats too.
