This I know. I won't waste time in this thread telling the story, but I'm sure there are plenty of interesting stories out there.
Just to finish on this subject. This is what my basic.cfg lines look like now with lots of reminders in place:
[PLAYER_RENOWN]
AcademyBonus=0; was 1000
RankLevel0=0; SCORE
RankLevel1=1000; was 1499 - SCORE
RankLevel2=50000; was 15000, 7999 - SCORE
RankLevel3=100000; was 15999 - SCORE

MedalScore0=15000; was 3000 2 class, SCORE - 1 Sep 1939
MedalScore1=45000; was 6000 1 class, SCORE - 1 Sept 1939
MedalScore2=100000; was 20000 knight, SCORE - 1 Sep 1939, German Cross at 75000 - 28 Sept 1941
MedalScore3=150000; was 30000 oak leaves, SCORE - 3 Jun 1940
MedalScore4=300000; was 40000 swords, SCORE - 28 Sep 1941
MedalScore5=500000; was 50000 diamonds, SCORE - 28 Sep 1941
MedalScore6=750000; was 90000 all, SCORE - 29 Dec 1944, U-boat war badge - 13 Oct 1939, U-boat front clasp - 15 May 1944
Dates listed are when the medal came into existence. Something I learned by doing extensive research was how the Nazis kept coming up with new and creative medals as the war dragged on. Had to keep the troops motivated!
Keep in mind here that I use a NYGM/GWX hybrid when it comes to tonnage. For those of you who were here during the NYGM vs. GWX flame wars, please pretend I didn't say anything. Don't want to start that up again.
It has been a little while since I last
ragequit played the game. IIRC, medals are given upon returning to base in the "In Base After Mission" file and promotions are awarded the day you leave on your next mission in the "In Base Before Mission" file.
If you screw around with some of the entries in the Careers and Patrol files, you can get SH3 Commander to report sailors that are wounded and KIA, as well as aircraft shot down. Also note, the German Cross shows up after 3 patrols, and the U-boat Front Clasp shows up way earlier than it should.
The way the game awards medals and promotions is even worse than in my original post, but if you remain vigilant over time, you can manage it and make it more (whatever you consider to be) realistic.
I don't remember how to do all of this, but one good thing about this is that you can pretty much screw with anything here. First, make copies of anything you mess with. In addition, you can check everything just by generating the crew list and/or the personnel file in SH3 Cmdr instead of having to load the game. I am a bit hesitant to criticize anyone's coding work, but, ultimately, SH3 Cmdr is flexible for tinkering, albeit clunky.
Finally,
this post may be relevant here.
Cheers!
