Unit ranking

Hi there and greetings from the Czech republic.

If have a question I cannot find in any manual I read. While a single unit improves their rank by destroying units it can reach the rank beginning at a Private up to a star of a general. However...has this some effect on the units behavior, action ingame or stats? In the older Total Annihilation, we played with much enthusiasm, the full trained star units makes for example the same damage like before but avoided/reduced some damage so they were not destroyed so fast like untrained units. Expensive AND well trained units become that way very important to defend or hold them alive.

Thanks for any answer and also many thanks that we can play this great game.

I was told by the devs that they also shoot more accurately with higher "level". That's an engine thing though.

They gain accuracy.

For some reason it seems as though rate of fire goes up when a unit gets experience, is there any way to confirm or deny this?
