You did your job well, and the logic is sound. So, I'll tell you what's going on (it can easily be checked).
I created The Economist account on:

I made as high as Captain. However, more and more I became angry with the game engine. You can argue randomness as you wish, but there is a NATURE law:
- when you toss a coin, you have 50% to get any result
- when you toss it for the second time, the chance is NEVER again 50%
Yet, in CC every dice toss is a separate event (am I wrong?)
Some results that we get in battles are theoretically close to impossible to get.
So, I stopped playing without ending the games in progress, and the account became a Cook.
Then I decided to give it another fresh start, so I created new account Eduardo da Silva.

Soon enough I made a Lieutenant. However, this game engine made another horror story, so I quit the game completely, keeping the rank.
After almost a year, I tried once more - to see if something improved. I created a third (free) account, CROscout

This is my statistics:
Rank: Sergeant 1st Class Sergeant 1st Class
Score: 1480
Games: 41 completed, 20 (49%) won
Then I took a challenge: let's see if I can revive the old account. Within a week I made it from Cook to Sergeant. You can easily find out that I NEVER had those three accounts in the same game!
Well, since the game didn't improve, and also some team games went crazy (our teammate was attacking us), I get mad and decided to exit the game with the style: to join some games as a secret double and see how would a multi look like.
Wining like that is too easy, so actually there is nothing more to keep me in the CC. It's a pity that you cannot find a mathematical/computer model which will simulate statistical probabilities with more realism...
I will try to finish all the games I'm in, but won't care if you block me...
Good bye!
