Thanks
By the way, you can get this medal twice. Just achieved that - again after lots of unsuccessful attempts.

Got it!!!!!!!!!! The final medal: Congressional Medal of Honor I got it together with the Purple Heart for 4152 points, getting injured (don't think that it matters what time), playing POW Rescue, Germany, very hard, Osprey. How was ist possible to achieve that many points and what did I do exactly?...

Still no success regarding this last medal...
Played Dustoff/Germany/VeryHard/Osprey a hundred times, even without cheating.
I'm desperate, would really like to know about the exact circumstances for this medal of honor.

Yea. Today I tried to go for a rescue mission in Europe, hard and on a Blackhawk without an easy landing option (however, with an unlimited ammo). 5407 pts. and dist serv. cross. One other thing worth knowing from manual: You get more points for using a technologically less sophisticated helicopter...

Interested in another way that doesn't work for medal of honor??

Just achieved barely above 3000 and got injured -> brought me both purple heart and dist. serv. cross!
(Libya, Very Hard, Osprey, Chem. Warf.)

I even waited until I was about to die before finally landing.

Markus: you own a manual? Yes, I do... But I'm unsure whether this is allowed to be freely distributed. It's quite lengthy (above 100 pages), I did not read it entirely, just glanced through. Perhaps some interesting aspects, I don't know... :shame: There is also the following description of the me...

i just suggested getting out of there by flyin over 25000 with osprey.. of course i know getting to that height can be fatal.. but if you have some chaff/flare left and have a few hits left, .. why not You can even defend a lot by just turning the jammers on and off (R, I). btw. do you guys get mor...

I have to admit I almost always use the cracked exe with 9900 Sidewinders&Co. It's so much more convenient.
And I hope this doesn't affect the final medal?!

or you can fly above 25000 with ausprey, out of reach of enemy's fire ... something I didn't know or forgot. I usually fly below 50 to be out of sight. A possible tactic above 25000 would be to let the enemy run out of fire along the interesting path. Today I did this successfully a couple of times...

I'm close to give up on my quest for medal of honor. I had that idea left of getting the fuel tank damaged before picking up the man. It took me like one thousand tries (really) to finally achieve this... Nothing!! :angry: :huh: (Ok, it was only Dustoff in Libya, about 1300 points, very hard of cour...

@MBK:
Try Aerial Intercept in Germany with Osprey and Cheats (very hard). Once I got 10.618 for that. So perhaps even a good choice without cheating.
Even Chemical Warfare in Libya got me 11.840 once.

Anyway, could you please tell me which version of LHX you use, because regardless what I do, I won't get more points then ca.1500. [...] Could it be that there are several versions of the game, some with question at the start, some without them? Could s.one please post me a link to a version on whi...

I'm trying like crazy... (what Axelon said) @Axelon: Did you get this in Germany? (Dustoff?) I got silver star + "seriously banged up" (perhaps not enough before picking up the pilot), didn't help. Once Hydraulic got damaged BEFORE I got to the pilot, and made it safely back (not exactly, ...

nothing new, unfortunately... no medal on position <8>. one really gets tired and runs out of ideas of what else to try. once I got for an injury plus above 3000 the purple heart plus silver star (why not dist. serviceX?). maybe it needs more points plus injury? any further ideas for what accomplish...

yeah, 10.618 points aren't enough either...

ok, I just achieved 5110 points... it doesn't do anything (except dist. serviceX).

update! thanks iwaN, finally I got: -on position 6: distinguished flying cross (I did surgical strike with the migs in germany/medium and shot a huge amount of enemy aircraft that was taking off. so this indeed seems to be awarded like a double/threetimes/... air medal.) -on position 4: distinguishe...

iwaN, thank you very much for this extremely valueable feedback! I will try to get the two remaining medals on 4 (serviceX) and 6 (flyingX) and report again. could take some time... but in essence so far this means (my opinion, considering the huge space, I labeled 8, is reserved for only one medal ...

I would really like to bring the medals-discussion to an satisfying end, but unfortunately have some open questions myself. so first of all here is everything I can contribute. the medal board looks like: ***************************** *<0>**<1>**<2>**<3>**<......* *********************...8...* *<4>*...
