Confusion regarding medals

[Hinrich Schwab]

Exactly what is the new requirements for medals? It appears to be as strange and weird as the rest of the stock game. I am in the middle of my 10th patrol (just got my Type VIIC), in August of 1940. I have one Iron Cross 2nd class and 4 Iron Cross First Class. However, I have not received my U-Boat badge despite having 10 patrols and I had a friend receive it after a patrol where he limped back to port with >10% hull integrity. What is going on?

Apparently so. Maybe I should give the Tommies all 340,000+ tons I sank over 10 patrols back.

He's gonna really hate me when my war log reflects a prioritization on sunbathing and shuffleboard for my current patrol in protest to some Beamter who lost my war decorations forms.

All silliness aside, I would like to know what the game's requirements for the War Patrol Badge are. I am guessing something is broken regarding the reward or just plain scripted wrong. Mid-1940, almost a dozen patrols and a historically unrealistically successful career more than qualify for the thing.

Find the name of that Beamter + his Dienststelle Fp.Nr., and beat him badly !!
