Is it tonnage or renown that counts?

I don't think specific ship renown has much to do with the award system. As this earlier reply in the U.S. Medals Fix thread states, there doesn't seem to be a connection.

Tonnage, ship quality (decided by Type rather than renown), successful patrol quantity, I believe make up the qualifications for the system. AND, I believe the option for game Realism plays a role as well. The higher the Realism....the greater the modifier to the system.

I don't think anyone thought you were looking for approval, just asking a legitimate question. The stock game has many flaws, the medals are just one of the more noticeable flaws.

TMO does away with the CMH also. It would be nice after getting a certain amount of tonnage, with certain ships involved, but not important. Overall, I am glad the mods get rid of it. Getting several of them for mediocre patrols gets a bit tiring.

It's tonnage. Renown is a real, in game award for getting so much tonnage, and maybe certain types of ship.

Just a follow up on the award/medal question for RFB 2.0.

I found LukeFF does not have the tier/hierarchy that "U.S.Medals Fix II" uses.....soooo, the RFB award system will respond much like the stock game. Screwed up big time!

Sorry guys, I don't have a mod to fix RFB 2.0....nor, do I want to.

You're breaking my heart Cap'n!

You're OTC is the only thing that keeps me playing TMO. You live 30mi from where I work. I will keep you in beer while you work on OTC for RFB!

Seriously though, not meaning to hijack my own thread but is there a way to tone down the AI in TMO? Last night my beloved pigboat got creamed by a DD that spotted me as I was approaching a convoy. Said DD was at a measure 6500yds away on a moonless night in high seas. No kidding!!! TICKED me off!

I'm sure we could find a spot somewhere along I-75 to catch a drink!!

But, I'd rather make my own Mega Mod than fix someone else's.

Scurvy and Longknife, maybe we all can meet.

I actually got the purple heart recently. Thought it was only possible to get posthumanously. Naiively approached a big merchant ship and it turned out to be pretty well armed. Battled it out with deck guns, and had to bug out. Spun around and sunk it with a couple torpedos.

Got back to port with 94% hull damage. Got the purple heart, and a message saying "the mechanics were scratching their heads as to how this thing is still afloat" or something along those lines. I was offered the option to get a new sub or "end my career on a high note". I guess the old Porpoise wasn't salvageable. I got a new salmon class early for my trouble.

The Purple Heart is awarded for being wounded in action.
