SH3 Commander Medal Award Criteria

Murr44 · 08-02-08, 04:26 PM

Not sure why you're getting all those awards but SH III (with or without Sh3 Cmdr) is pretty weird when it comes to medals. I had a career going with Cmdr where I was awarded EK II (Iron Cross 2nd class) at the end of one patrol then given the DKiG (German Cross in Gold) at the end of the next. I'd skipped over the EK I & had to wait until I'd finished yet another patrol to be awarded that medal.:hmm:

Strange things happen, In my 2 careers (about 56 patrols) I've never been awarded with German Cross. Last patrol I exited just after start to receive uboat badge (ubootfrontpange). NO kills, 0 renown.:hmm:

Bug, short answer.

Long answer, I don't know. I've played missions where I have received these medals. Shortly afterwards, they would be gone, and then the next mission, I'd receive them again.

Is Admiral Donitz your father-in-law? :hmm:

During the Norway invasion, I sailed along the Norway coast hopeing to give my fellows some support. In an extremly nasty weather, all I could find is a bunch of German ships.

Finally I encountered 2 armed trawlers (better than nothing). Fired 4 eels, but they passed right below their keels, as the trawlers were jumping on high waves.
A few days later I stumbled upon 4 destroyers steaming towards Narvik at 36 kts. I fired a long distance spread and missed.

Frustrated, I returned home without a kill, expecting a Court martial. Instead, I got promoted

. Go figure...

Looks like your efforts were enough to warrant recognition.

Maybe in those four patrols in stock SH3, you were just a insanely agressive kaluen that uses the deck gun to its fullest and a crack-one-shot marksman with the torpedoes.

In that way, you raked up so much tonnage that the Admiral pinned you with a ton of medals.
