Im pretty sure that medals are awarded based on total tonnage, not the tonnage of the patrol that resulted in the award.

I think the Knights cross comes at 150K total tonnage

I see...

At first I thought this odd, but a little reading on Wikipdia just now tells me this is actually how they did it in the war - a Knight's Cross was awarded when a U-boat commander reached 100,000 tons.

So, switch to

Never imply that you don't deserve an award. Adm. Doenitz does not take kindly to that. Later in your GWX patrols you'll just be thankful to return alive for another patrol

you also get medals depending on how many patrols you come back from, e.g. you get a uboat medal after 2 patrols regardless of tonnage.
