I am playing with RFB+RSRDC.

I am not quite sure I earned it properly, though I didn't argue!

I happened upon a convoy off Takao while patrolling the southern approach to the Formosa Strait. I got a couple large freighters and a tanker with two well-timed spreads (one fore, one aft), before being chased down and taking a depth charge beating by the lone DD on escort. I was able to get away alive, and proceeded to head towards home. I ran into a few singles on the way back, Hog Island types I think. Also got a bunch of Junks towards the beginning of the patrol.

All in all, it was like ten ships at around 25k for the patrol. I was surprised at the MoH, but I guess they took the beating we received into account

The game is quite free with its medals. I've read reports of players getting more than one MoH.

Only 25K?

I sank 98K in one patrol and I got a silver star.

I was limping back into port with a fuel tank leak and half my batteries destroyed!

Guess that's what I get for playing TMO.

Yeah Red, but his ships were actually moving around with sailors on board...not tied up to a pier with the crew on shore leave.

I thought I stripped you of all your medals for numeorus lies and false reports.

Anyway, my best patrol was 287,000 tons, no refits, no harbor raiding. I didn't just become an Admiral by chance or self appointment....as some suggest.

YOU DID!

I haven't played SH4 since. I decided it was time to take up IL-2 1946 for a while.

I might've snuck a patrol or two with Pacific Aces...
