Medals question

How exactly do the medals work?

Are they awarded for points? Kills? time alive? all the above ? or random after certain criteria are met?

When I went to the squadron screen I was informed that one of my previous kills was confirmed and one rejected.

The one confirmed made me an Ace and I was also awarded the Congressional medal of Honor (the plane i landed was really shot up...and it was a real rough mission).

cool award not sure why I got it though.

Something is messed up, that should have been the last medal you're awarded.

I figured as much DOH! so can someone else test this? I am playing with stock updated 1.25 files.

Oh and it's too late anyway, the government can't take it back can they?
 
I think it must be associated with the same bug as people getting the same medal four times in a row.

I can't see a file that controls it. I guess POV will shed some light on it.
 
Sometimes you may get something good for a good deed in game. Being badly damaged and heading on back into the fray for example - I'd say you earned it now get on with fighting?
There are medal improvements coming (small changes soon, maybe bigger later).

It's intentional? That's pretty naff. :icon_lol:
 
Really? OK maybe we should leave the improvements out then in case they are naff too mwuahaha ;)

You just made my day.

actually I had never been as shot up and lived as I was on that mission, I landed a plane that was junked shortly after I assure you. I also was informed I became an ace...so a CMH and a confirmation making 5 kills makes for a hollywood ending...I LOVE THIS GAME!

"Naff"...now you guys have me looking up Australin terms :)
 
It's naff unless it's truly incredibly exceptional/rare. The medals, especially the higher ones, should really count for something, lest they be de-valued.

But if that's what happened in MK2's case...congratulations old chap.:woot:
