CHEATER!




Did you get that idea from me?

I've been doing that for a very long time, which is funny because I never use the renown to buy anything.

As to your question, that now has me puzzled. I too always thought it was the score required for that medal. It certainly seems to work that way for promotions, as GWX changes it to 1499 for the first one, so you become Oberleutnant immediately following the first patrol.

So I don't know about the medals. Sorry to be so little help.
