US medals fix mod

Capt. Shark Bait · 12-11-08, 12:04 PM

there a way to remove, not replace, one of the medals? the one that bothers me a bit is the Medal of Honor, 2 of which i received. the reason being, i feel that having these in SH4 deminishes their meaning and those who are deserved of receiving them. yeah, i know it's "'only' a game", but....

I agree and so would "Lucky Fluckey" I presume. He was of the opinion that the MoH should be for the dead and I think that the MoH should only be awarded if you go down with your boat.
If you don't go down then the highest medal should be the Navy Cross.

what i'm gettin at, is the MoH should not be there at all. who's "Lucky Fluckey"?

That would be too much for me, I just want it when I die.

Lucky Fluckey was Eugene Flucky, the captain of the USS Barb.

Yes, the Medal of Honor can be replaced with another medal, such as the Navy Cross. There are six awards the game uses for service decorations. Although I do not know what criteria the game uses for which medals (this set of data is not readily available to me, although the Purple Heart is pretty straight forward, you die you receive the medal) the medals can be moved about within the six positions to whatever you want. As in the U.S. Medals Fix mod, the lower tier award was changed to the Navy Commendation Medal. The Bronze Star and Silver Star were moved up in rank, with the elimination of the Navy Distinguished Service Medal.

So the question is, what six medals or awards would you want to see? I agree, I thought the CMOH should have never been an award for this game with the criteria of highest total tonnage sunk wins the award. The six tier's could be as follows:

Navy Cross
Silver Star
Bronze Star
Navy Commendation Medal
Good Conduct Medal ?
Purple Heart
