Question On Promotions/Medals

SilverGhost · 12-19-06, 11:55 AM

I'm on my fourth patrol of GWX in late January, 1941. At the close of my third patrol I was awarded the UBoat Badge and Front Clasp and promoted to Oberleutant. The third patrol netted me about 14,000 tons, about 2150 on the second, and about another 16000 on the first. Nothing spectacular.

In TGW mod, I was out on a long, long patrol and got back to find the KC, KCw/silver and then KCw/gold,swords and diamonds!

In real life the KCwGS&D was a rarity. I think there were 2 Uboat skippers and 1 Lufwaffe officer ever awarded this one. How or why does the game rationalize these upper awards?
