this is temporary right? i mean, there will eventually be new models for t2 and t3 right?
aside from that, i think it would be better to have little holograms above them that say T2 or T3 when you zoom in instead of making such a minor detail change to the model. if the hologram thing or new engineer models for each tech level is impossible, this is still sorta useless because by the time you zoom in to that level, youve already selected the engineers. could you just change the size of the model when advancing to a higher tier?
The answer to all these is no, No point in new engineer models as the Ai is only able to use select unit ids, this will also apply to all upgradable units in the game. Factories having a larger rank logo.
Letters and numbers won't work as most units are mirrored meaning the letters will show back to front on one side, yes but for vet levels it would be to hard as there are to many units also rank levels, this was also just a test I did.
If these decals were added to anything other than Engineers and factories, I only see it practical to have them on XPs.
Just my 2 cents seeing as the smaller troops can easily die fast,
any the higher ranks don't make them as intimidating as say, a rank 3 MK2 Monkey Lord, which you would definitely want to see the rank of.

I actually like it this way. It sorta ensures certain low tier assets' relevancy in late/top_tier stage too.
Hey, would it be possible to have these rank decals for veterancy units?
For Engies it would be better to have T1, T2, T3 decals.

No problem. I even think decals would not be practical as they would reveal the veteran units to other human players.
