i have noticed another nuance relating to "awards".

in the recent past i drove an Argonaut, as well as a Narwhal/Nautilus, with FOTRSU. when we had a decent mission, our crew was awarded actual Silver Stars, Bronze Stars, and Navy Crosses.

i played TMO 2.5 w/RSRD, driving a Porpoise and the same range of awards was presented to my crew.

however, when we had the same success from missions while driving a Gato or a Balao with FOTRSU and TMO 2.5+RSRD, the highest awards made available to the crew were the Campaign ribbon and Commendation award. That's it.

so, it sure seems like Ubi values success with lesser boats more highly than it does with better, more modern boats. but how?
other than the Upgrade Class field, what other field could Ubi use to rank boat quality?
