Astromind 1 Report post Posted May 12, 2021 I'm not exactly a newbie anymore, but the medals-section fascinates me. When I see that players with level 4,5, 6... have medals and when I hover over them and see what they had to do to earn them, I ask myself why I did not get these medals with scores 2 to 3 times higher. I thought one had to achieve the targets, e.g. 100/100 for The defence of Stalingrad. Well, I see medals with only a fraction of that 100. I only want a medal when I have reached the target, but It puzzles me how this can happen. In my Achievements/medals I see I have a long way to go... I know that you don't need medals to enjoy the game, but I think one has to have respect for the medals because of what the real warheroes had to do to earn them.

Requirements for the medals have gone skyhigh like 2-3 years ago. Before it was much easier to get them. So, the players who have got the medals without meeting the current requirements earned them before the change... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromind 1 Report post Posted May 14, 2021 I see. Mystery solved. So the medals were very cheap a few years ago. (screenshot player - wiped the name for privacyreasons). Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromind 1 Report post Posted May 26, 2021 Let me make myself clear that I am not accusing anybody for cheating or something like that. I just want to understand why it is possible that players get medals when the necessary requirements are not achieved. For instance, to get the Wound Badge Gold (Japan) you have to kill 100 planes with a critically damaged vehicle. Well, It just happens that I have a score of 13 for the moment, so I would not dream of accepting a medal for those 13 kills. Nevertheless, I just saw a player with that medal and he had exactly 13 kills. It is just the same for all other medals. Players with a lesser level then I have are loaded with medals they impossibly can have earned. Am I missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry100 185 Report post Posted May 26, 2021 You cannot see someone else's progression, only that they have the medal or not. The game was showing your number. (don't know why it does this) Some medals, like the black wound medal for Germany, have had the number of 'event's to get the medal changed over time. (went from 100 to 200) I was close, then they raised it. Some folks got the medal under the old requirements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
