Rank
Rank is an in-game system primarily used to identify player participation in the game, either how long they played the game, or participated in the game's logistics system. Rank is based on the Commendation system, which uses Commends, or player-rewarded "marks of approval". The more commends you receive from other players the higher your rank is. Rank differs from your Level, the latter is only based on doing certain useful actions (farming resources, killing enemies, etc...). You can see your Rank in the player menu by pressing F1. Rank appears after a player's nametag on top of their soldier. Rank never resets and is kept across factions and server shards.
Commendations
The Commendation system allows players to reward the good behavior of other players in game. Commendations (to give to others) can be earned through positive actions such as; enemy kills, friendly heals/revives, building structures, destroying enemy structures, collecting resources, picking up Factory orders and supplying bases.
You can see your available commendations in the player screen by pressing F1. Commend other players by right clicking their name in the player list and selecting "Commend" in the context menu, or through Alt+Click context menu on their player model.
The amount of Commends players can give is limited to giving 3 per day towards each player, with a maximum of 20 players per day. The amount of Commends a player can receive is unlimited.
The amount of commends required per rank grows exponentially with every rank.
Rank-locked functionalities

- Squads creation (LCpl Rank required)

Level
The player's level is distinct from their rank. Doing useful actions slowly increases your level (farming resources, killing enemies, etc...). Level is shown in the player menu by pressing F1. Your level cannot be viewed by other players.
Level currently only has one use: players under level 5 that have been faction-locked get one free faction unlock which they can access from the faction select screen on the top-right corner of the deploy screen (after pressing play at the main menu).
Like Rank, your Level never resets and is kept across factions and server shards.
Trivia
The rank structure is the exact same as the current British Army ranks.
