Knight's Cross not awarded at 800 kills

[komisar]

Hi, I know this is a bit trivial, but here we go: I have a 21 cm Mrs 18 unit which just managed to score its 802 kill, but the Knight's Cross wasn't awarded. I play the Tatsinskaya scenario from the GC '42 DLC. I noticed the exact same problem on my previous playthrough, but that time with a Fw-190 fighter plane. I wasn't paying attention then, so I'm not sure if the problem occured in the same scenario or not. Any ideas why this might happen?

That is strange. I went to check on my own units and of the 8 Wurfrahmen that I have that have over 800 Kills, all except 1 have the Knights Cross. According to "awards.pzdat", you get the first Knight's Cross after 800 kills and the second after 1,300 kills. It could be that you might still get the Knight's Cross as it could be a range of 800 to 1,299 though from my own experience, you usually get the medal when you reach the required number of kills.

I have a fighter with more than 200+ kills and they did not get there iron cross second class at 100 kills.

Ah, so this is a more widespread problem than I imagined. Of course since the awards themselves have no other effect than pure aesthetics, this is no biggie, but I hope the devs have an idea why this is happening.

Just a guess, but maybe those numbers mean *minimum*, not that the award comes exactly at no. X...

Sure, but all my other units got their awards at the specified number (100/400/800/1300...) and that's why I think it's a glitch.
