The current placement of the rank does help in preventing easy enemy identification of ranking personnel, however individual actions such as pointing at stuff, giving orders in a very obvious way are more giveaways as well, so yep, watch yourself.
Let's be honest here.
I am sure modern sniper training is such that snipers don't even need to see the rank to identify who the officers are during war.
If sniper training is teaching that you should only take out soldiers only if you can see officer ranks, then I think the syllabus and training needs updating.

They added ESP training to the Sniper Course? I'm betting you'll say "look for the guy giving orders" but if the enemy in question is in a travelling or skirmish formation, not many or even no orders need to be given. Hard to tell who's an officer in that situation. Just remember your 3 up formation or your route marches. How much ordering was done then? Not much as I recall.
No, the training is "look for the guy in the Ford Everest"

"Encik, we lost another driver!"
"That's bad. If this continues I'm going to have to drive myself.... Wait, you got a licence right?"
"Er... No, got revoked for speeding past a police car without wearing seatbelts."
"When?"
"In 10 minutes time."
I find it odd that such a conspicious vehicle is the commander's transport. It used to be the G-wagen, which is also an attack vehicle and previously a 106RR platform.
Normally enemies single out the vehicle with more than one radio antenna. This one makes their job easy.
