Medals in SH3 ??

Grey Legion · 06-20-06, 02:48 PM

During my newest career I want to keep better track of my crew and ther skill and promotions.

Using SH3 Commander I want to be able to award the proper medal for the propers service (if that makes sence !?! )

So I was wondering where can I learn more about the medals featured in SH3 and how to better award them, did the google thing and only found sites selling them with little to no details on how why and when they were used.

Any help would be great !!

Cick around http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/ as well. Good site.
http://www.axishistory.com/ as well. Another good site.

Note that SH3Cmdr follows these historical guidelines in regards to the suggestions that it provides plus the availability date of each medal or badge, so you are not all alone.

As per the SH3Cmdr readme (relevant parts bolded)...

A Crew Manager component. By selecting the 'Manage your crew' action, players can:
- promote and demote within type (ie Officers, Petty Officers and Sailors);
- change crewmen names;
- give and remove medals based on historic criteria;
- give and remove badges based on historic criteria;
- give, adjust and remove qualifications (3 for officers and senior petty officers, 1 for petty officers and 1 for sailors);
- create a crew list for viewing (html format) and printing.

The Crew Manager warns if certain conditions are met, such as a crewman receiving medals before they are historically available, or if a crewman might be entitled to specific medals or badges and allows a "one click" auto fix.

When I do what you're doing (in my non-WaW careers) I use the following:

Wound badge for being wounded during a patrol.

U-boot Badge after two patrols (can't be awarded before 13 October 1939). Or after one patrol if wounded.

U-boot Combat Clasp after receipt of the U-boot Badge, for exceptional valor or for making a large number of sorties at the captain's discretion (can't be awarded before 15 May 1944). Basically, if I have someone who has made many patrols with me and has done something exceptional, I will give him the Combat Clasp. There was no set criteria for this one.

Iron Cross Second Class is reserved pretty much only for officers. There were men who received this but it would have been very rare. I end up giving one to my IWO after he's done his part in sinking many ships on night-time surface attacks. My L.I. might get one for saving the boat from a seemingly impossible situation after a prolonged wasserbombe attack. And so on.

Iron Cross First Class and up are pretty much off limits for my crew. My IWO *might* get an Iron Cross First Class if he does something truly amazing. Otherwise, no one gets this.

So it's pretty easy if you want to use historical medals, you can only award the three badges and the Iron Cross 2nd class.
