just control flags.. controlling flags boosts your war rank.. the longer you hold flags the faster you get a higher war rank, the more you hold the faster you get the next war rank...

I would like to see a better representation of what your current war rank is, and how close you are to achieving the next war rank on the UI.  Currently, it shows how many points you have, but the number needed for the next rank is not displayed.  Also, it is displayed in an arbitrary place, (on your XP bar?).  I thought the patch notes said this was changed, however, when I logged in and played a game or two I noticed that my War Rank stuff was ontop of my XP bar still.  Very hard to read and understand.  I would rather see War Rank displayed by each team's icon for the game goal or somewhere else on the UI that is easier to read and understand exactly what it is, and how long until my team achieves their next War Rank.

That is correct, I would rather that number be my current xp/requirement for next level... and have war rank displayed elsewhere prominently so I know when we are about to rank up and head to the base.
