One of the things I found messing with the BuPers mod work is that the medal's wording is fixed as a generic paragraph. I'm not on my install computer, but I believe it's in one of the lines towards the bottom of the 'ini' file (menu_1024_768.ini maybe ???).
Anyway, one of the options I did was try to make it even MORE generic so it doesn't look like what you're seeing.
Another option I'm looking at is leaving the line as "null" (no wording whatsoever) and replacing the whole thing with a sort of certificate and medal package with proper wording for the medal. Granted, that will be dependant on whether I can define a proper entry for the "image" once I can make it since the current "image" is a cropping of the medal placed in front of a background image.
Bottom line, the awards system in the game is, well, lacking. Nothing in b/w that can be verified, but it would appear that what a dev posted a while back regarding the number of ships, time between sinkings, etc, is fairly accurate.
Unless someone can figure out how to edit the "exe" like "hsie" did with SH3 to change a few things, it would seem that the medals will be awarded via the hard-coded system. All we can do is try and make things somewhat more generic than what they gave us as far as the award wording goes.
