Knight's Cross for 16k Patrol!?

onelifecrisis · 08-24-07, 05:27 PM

I just finished the third patrol in my current GWX DiD campaign. The first two patrols went unusually well given the green crew I had (77k and 70k respectively) and I was awarded the first and second iron crosses, which I felt I deserved.

But the third patrol went terribly - final score only 16k, and that was made of eight small (2k) merchants, all sunk on the surface using the deck gun. No torpedos fired at all, and I limped home with no fuel (having spent a month at sea trying to find something to shoot) and they gave me the Knight's Cross!

So now I'm thinking medals must awarded based on total tonnage to date and not on the merits of the individual patrol? :hmm:

Bizarre
