I usually get a boatload of medals for my crew, and I don't even sink much tonnage. I'm using the RFB mod.
I also try to keep track of who got wounded, who shot down an aircraft, and, in those rare cases when it happens, had "fanatical" morale when the going got rough. The rest of the medals I give as a goodbye present to the crew that I am rotating out
On my current campaign patrol I managed to get 16 crewmembers killed (ran into a mine), so they'll get their medals posthumously if I make it home.
I agree that there should be more meaning to morale. Only very rarely I see one or two crew members who are either "broken" or "fanatical", and this only seems to happen after taking damage. It would be nice if morale got lower if you spend a long time at sea without success, and spread around the boat if you don't have enough officers with leadership skills. And that it would carry over between patrols. Because as soon as you enter port (or load a saved game), morale appears to be reset to Normal.
