Yes, I'd like to know for certain.

One thing that could be playing an additional factor in awards issued is the realism settings. Having the realism % high with manual targeting, no map contacts checked COULD play a role as modifing the awards. In other words, a player who has his options set low may have the games award criteria for the top tier award (CMOH) set at say 50,000 tons, where a high setting may be 35,000. I guess I'd like to look at all the factors a player is using before passing judgement. You can't compare apples to oranges. As I stated several posts ago, the player rank and/or the number of successfull patrols completed could modify the results as well.

Again, the more important question to ask yourself is: If I received a CMOH for a 38,000 ton patrol, will (or have) I receive(d) a Silver Star or Navy Cross for a 47,000+ ton total on another patrol, with no changes to my options or rank, and nothing major changed in the actual "quality" of the ships sunk?
