Medals too easy - Page 2

In SH3, medals were generally awarded based on how much cumulative renown you have. Ive been wondering if SH4 works the same way, i woudlnt be suprised if it does. (edit: Point being, ill wager many start with 5,000 renown. I know i do to pick up better crewman. Butfor the most part the game is liberal with the renown)

I've got two medals of honor on my current career, one patrol for sinking a battleship, the other patrol for sinking 3 huge liners.

I don' t think there is anything wrong with how the game distributes medals, its just a little too easy to rack up huge tonnage figures.

The campaign needs to be modded because there are simply too many targets out there. There should be fewer merchants and a lot fewer heavy units in task forces. Running into a task force with multiple BBs or Carriers should be extremely rare. As folks mod the game to make it more realistic (ie. less heavy traffic leading to lower tonnage figures) the medals will be harder to come by.
