if i recall the medals are awarded based on total renown.
so if you go out and sink ships and patrol assigned grids and return to port instead of "warping" back to port etc etc you accumulate renown (as we all know) but if you dont spend a great deal of renown on equipment upgrades then your total renown accumulates faster.
i cant remember the exact numbers, and they are somewhere around here im sure of it, but there have been times where i have received more than one medal at a time simply because my total renown encompassed all of the renown requirments for both medals. (hope that makes sense)
hang in there, the German Cross in gold and the front clasp are among the last medals awarded... they will be awarded to you based on your total renown.
if anyone knows the numbers please post them thanks
