Sunk a carrier and was awarded the" Medal of honor". The next patrol I got the "Silver Star" for 53,450 tons of shipping.This works great.

I would like to see the medal of honor requirements tightened up but it will work for now

Any chance of replacing the Purple Heart? going on the mechanics of the game, it's just the first "nice job" medal as opposed to dealing with injury in the line of duty. It'd be nice to have something else...

Maybe a good conduct medal? or the legion of merit? Kinda hard to find another medal that is time period appropriate. Perhaps any of our naval/history/military buffs could help pick one.

How about simply a pair of dolphins?

Some historically accurate medals that may fit in the game would be:
- Legion of Merit (since Oct. 1942)
- Navy Commendation ribbon (since Jan. 1944 - now called Navy & Marine Corps Commendation medal)
- Navy Good Conduct medal
- Asiatic/Pacific Campaign ribbon (since Nov. 1942 - a medal was created after the war)

The only problem is that giving these medals since Dec. 1941 is not very realistic but... who cares! at least it's better than the current system.
