Well since I'm quite happy with a Type VII I doubt I'll be upgrading anything anytime soon either, except for maybe upgrading from a VIIB to a VIIC and even that's not a given.

As to your question, that now has me puzzled. I too always thought it was the score required for that medal.

I still think it is, but obviously the "score" in question does not equate to the renown the game tells me I have after a patrol. I have always assumed that when I end a patrol, the renown it says I have is my total renown for my career to date. But if that's the case, something else that I don't know about is being added to make up the "score" that awards me the medal I get.
If the renown shown after a patrol is only what I earned on that single patrol, and doesn't include what I got for previous patrols, then yeah I probably qualify for all the medals I've gotten so far if the ending renown for all the patrols are added up. But that seems to me like such an odd way of doing it - like it's keeping your total score a secret unless you make a point of keeping track of it yourself outside the game. Didn't occur to me that this might be exactly what it's doing until now.
