Default What Medals have you won

I'm asking because I always get the same medals

Every patrol I finish I earn a medal. I play at normal. So I guess I have to step up my difficulty level

So far I've earned:

01 x Bronze Star
04 x Silver Stars
01 x Navy Cross
01 x Purple Heart
02 x Medal of Honors :hmm: Is there any person who actually earned 2 Medal of Honors??

Anyway here is a screen:





But when I'm in office and I open my medal case I see different medals. As shown in the screen below:




Here I see the Navy Distinguished Service Medal (which should be a Medal of Honor.)

So what other Medals can be earned? I think only that Distinguished Service medal. Since there is only room for one more medal. I have a MoH (but in the box shown as a NDSM)

Yeah i know. I fixed all the other stuff where proper display of medals is concerned, but the textures in the medal case was giving me greif, so i just let it go.

Nobody "wins" the Medal of Honor (or any other military medal, for that matter) - there isn't a competition for them.

That's no problem at all (at least not for me anyway), You did an outstanding job for making authentic medals. I just wanted to know if other skippers earn medals so easily. In real life to get the Medal of honor one had to pull of some extremely special stunts and most of the times died will doing so. And I got it twice.

I mean I got 9 medals in 8 patrols. I find it difficult to believe that they actually gave shiny medals after every patrol. Is that because I play this game at NORMAL difficulty. If I play it at difficult level HARD, will it be also harder to get medals? Or has that nothing to do with that?

Also, what are the requirements for getting Different medals? I know how to get the Purple Heart. But what about the Bronze/Silver Star, MoH, Navy cross, etc.
And for the Crew? I'm only able to hand out silver and bronze stars.
