I suppose the medal is awarded for wounded below the 90/100 of health |

Just to add my experiences to the wound medal issue.
I just got back to Pearl Harbour with 2 wounded crew men. Low and behold I had 4 promotions and 2 purple hearts to distribute. However, whilst I obviously gave them to the two men who had been wounded, nearly all the NCO's/seamen's boxes were highlighted when I was dragging the medal, so I could have given it to anyone, not just the 2 who had been wounded. :hmm:

In SH3 the wound badge was hard-coded so that it could only be awarded to wounded men. I think we have three options:
1. Assuming the wound badge is being awarded to non-wounded crewmen, lobby the devs to fix this in an official patch. 2. Change the wound badge so it becomes some other lesser award unrelated to wounds. 3. Remove the wound badge from the game altogether. I'm for either one, but I've listed them in order of my own preference.

However I hope in the future patch (together with many other bugs) this aspect will be resolved |

Yes! Option One. I did the same and just wrote down who was wounded to receive a Purple Heart. If no one was wounded then no recipients. If there are no Purple Hearts (and lets please use the proper term, not "wound badge"), then there will be no way to recognize those crew members who were wounded in the line of duty. |

Not sure if this has been posted here yet, but here is a post from Elanaiba that he made at SimHQ:

I believe this is a quote taken out of context.

Without knowing more I would hesitate to argue...but SH1 had the correct medals, and I never heard about them getting any trouble over it.

I would agree with the misunderstanding of the english but I would also point out that I bet everyone who works for ubisoft is double checking laws and erroring(i know it's not a word but you know what I mean) on the side of caution after the whole grumman mess with pacific fighters.

Pacific Fighters has US medals in it.
Pacific Fighters has US medals in it, 3 whole files of them, and so do some other Ubisoft games. There is nothing that prevents their use, as a decoration in the game.

I think our Romanian friends simply misinterpreted or misunderstood the situation regarding the medals. They may have asked and been denied permission to use them by the US Army Heraldic Institute, but I think the greater issue is there was no need to ask permission in the first place.
