look i played mechwarrior 2 titanium edition and i beat it but the problem is even though i did all the tutorials it still starts me off as a cadet so i have to earn mechwarrior in campaign which makes it to which the highest rank i can get is galaxy commander instead of khan.is it a glitch or do i have to do the games tutorial trial of postion on hard to earn mechwarrior rank before the campaigns first trial of position to ensure i get khan rank?
