Promotions

[LordRipper]

Hi everyone hope all is well !

I've got a few niggling questions that I can't seem to find the answer to. Could someone possibly shed some light ?

What are the requirements of each medal that the player is awarded ? - Is it based on tonnage ? I ask cos I'm real tired of getting Victory Crosses hehehe. Done 13 patrols on this career and got like 11 VC's and 2 medals of valor. In other patrols I got the sub service and patrol stars as well as VC's and MOV's. Except in this career I really maximise the use of my ammo and sink no less than 84,000 t on each patrol. (I don't yet play on full realism or hard difficulty as I'm new to subsims).

I have seen the experience values needed for crew promotions, however I'm wondering about when I get promoted. I have a few senior LT's who have achieved enough experience to get Lt.Cmdr (20,000 points) but they are now not getttin gany more exp. I know a Lt.Cmdr needs 25,000 to get to Cmdr which means if I earn exp at the same rate as my crew I shouold have over 20,000. The question is, is when I reach Cmdr, will I then be able to award Lt.Cmdr ranks to those Lt's ?

As the ranks listed go up to Admiral, what happens if/when u achieve a staff rank ? Do u get to coordinate multiple subs or is the game not that big ? hehehe

..and why don't u get a congrats message or something when u sink a Carrier or Battleship ? After all that's gonna really hurt the enemy ! I sank 2 BB's and a carrier amongst others in one patrol and no special recognition.

Thanks in advance
