[REL] Real Medals v1.01

[GSpector]

True about the Bronze Star but it was a retroactive Medal that was Awarded to any person in any branch of the military service who, while serving in any capacity in the armed forces of the United States on or after December 7, 1941.

So, even though the Medal was authorized on Feb 4, 1944, I see no reason to not include it.

Just a thought, my father was on two subs during WWII that were awarded Presidential Unit Citations. He was very proud of them. They reflected the heroism of the whole crew in battle. For more information go to: http://www.valoratsea.com/PUC.htm
I don't know how this would be incorporated SH4 but it would indicate that it was a team effort during a patrol. Maybe everyone on the crew's morale and "renown" should get raised. BTW, I like the change in medals to something more accurate. Nice work!

I think the best way to use something like the PUC is if you make it to the TOP of the TOP ACES list. I'm not sure how this could be done in-game.

I think the best way to use something like the NUC is if you just make it to the the TOP ACES list.

As for their dates:

Both were retroactive Awards that go back to Dec 7, 41.

Presidential Unit Citation: Established Feb 6,42

Navy Unit Citation: Established Dec 18, 44

you would have to award one to all of the crew tho

[GSpector]

Yes, and that's where the problem lies with Unit Awards in Sims.

Can someone explain how to install this and is there a way to verify it is installed correctly or do i have to earn a medal to determine that??

Hello aso544,

1st, get a program like WinRar to unpack the files. It works just like WinZIP.

Usually I just open up the file, find the directory called "Data" and drag it to the Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific directory on the Hard Drive.

When the message pops up letting you know you already have a Directory called "Data", just click yes and it will copy all the files to where they belong.

This is what I do with ZIP's and RAR files.

Thanks, a greatly necessary piece of reality.

hey chaps!

i dont know what i made wrong ,but it seems likei´m only getting the DSM and less medals for the crew. i play at 58% realism with patch 1.1 and installed the RM-mod like it described in this forum.

these are my debriefing screens. is that normal??? i think theres something wrong. i accomplished all objectives and sunk several BB´s and BC´s + 2 CV´s. and 2 bronze stars for the crew + a DSM for the captain can´t be all

After installing the new patch, for some reason all the medals reverted back to their old names, but with the correct medal images. I tried installing the mod again, but it didn't seem to work.
