I finally got the U Boat Badge in one of my un-doctored careers, but it was quite late in the war. It's not the good ol' plain one, either. It's the one with the diamond where the swastika would ordinarily be, and which was, I believe, usually saved for the elite folks, like Mr. Donitz.

I got it with one of my careers where the realism was fairly low, like 64%, but made it into late 1944 before it was awarded. This was before I started "fiddling" with config files, and before Herr von Braun joined the crew in that one rather startling career I wrote of in a different thread.

So it looks like the boat's commander is above the paltry "regular" U Boat Badge; presumably he's already earned one some time before getting his own command.....
