LW Soldier Ranks

Description
*If you are playing with Long War 2, this mod is no longer needed*

This simple mod seeks to make a small change to the many ranks within XCOM 2 to make it like what was experienced in the Long War Mod for XCOM:EW. This affects base soldiers as well as psi operatives.

Brigadier rank unaffected as it is not used in game
Disciple rank unaffected as there was only 6 Psi ranks in Long War

==================================================
TODO:
Fix Leader Ranks, possibly make them show over normal ranks?

@alpharius:
Working for me in WoTC. See my post below, some editing should be done, but not essential.

does still work?

Had a look at this for WoTC.
This mod just changes values in XComGame.int, from a quick eyeball check most things seems to match up in the mod's .int against the WoTC .int.

The main thing which seems to have changed is the rank names for Psi troopers. There'll be the vanilla ones even when using this mod.

This overwrites one of the Gameplay Tips so probably best to comment this out:

GameplayTips_Strategy[3]="Upon reaching the rank of Lance Corporal, soldiers will have more extensive customization options."

@macelharen:
Used this and LW Leader Pack in my last campaign and the two mods played very nicely together.

*crossing fingers hoping this works with the LW leader pack*

specialist is also Army, and lance corporal is Marine Corps and Tech Sgt is Airforce, so going off that, I'd say he's not going for authenticity

Is ths mod compatibe with the Long War Perk Pack?

Specialist is E4 then to Lance Corporal which is E3. I'd suggest swapping the two ranks.

Is there any way that the upgraded leaders could display the leader rank instead of the original one?

Spotted a typo in "LW_OfficerPack.int"
LWOfficerRankNames[1]=Liutenant

Should be Lieutenant
