Don't worry too much about it. The one who gets hammered in the awards system is usually you and not your crew. The problem with the SH3/GW awards system is that is based on renown, and renown is based on the realism level as well. Your crew can get their medals and promotions from you but you cannot get them from SH3

To give you an example I had played 65 patrols (1939-1945) in SH3/GW and sunk a bit more than 1,700,000 GWT, but because I was not playing 100% realism I was always awarded less renown. Also because the promotions are handed over depending on your current renown I was a Sr. Commander in the end of the war!!! I had got all the medals and everything but I suffered in the ranking system of the game.
