Flugmaat with double Pour le Merite?

[Materia]

I'm Flugmaat in Marine KEK in Flanders. I received my 1st Pour le Merite on 11th kill, then I received the 2nd Pour le Merite on the 15th kill. Tripple bug here, not only my current rank should make most of the in game medals completely unavailable to me, I should not be getting 2nd Pour le Merite.

Is there any logic, any built in game system, and requirements that need to be matched for the awards to be earned? At the moment, I see, that rank doesn't matter at all. I still haven't been awarded Eisernes Kreuz I. Klasse, which means there is no precedense in awards either.

This has come up before. To the best of my recollection, the medal system is pretty rudimentary, and may be do to coding limits in the game that OBD doesn't have access to? Don't quote me on that!

It is what it is, fairly good most of the time.  However the complexities of a German medal system alone needing a simulator we decided not to spend more weeks on it.

I tried searching through in game files, but found nothing including medals, awards, rewards. In theory, it shouldn't be that hard to make a couple of extra lines of codes, if rank x then reward x, if award x owned then reward x. If rank x then award null, or whatever.

3 awards for lower ranks, everything else for officers, with everything being rewarded only once, then after you were awarded everything there is, you get nothing. 

WOFFUserFilesBackup which I'm using, lets me edit claims, dossier, logs, and I am doing exactly that after I backup, then restore.

If there was a possibility to somehow edit the awards logbook I would just edit things accordinly to how they should have been, myself. I don't see it anywhere unfortunately, there is pilotlog file, but I was unable to open it, and view for it to make any sense, other than random gibberish letters.

I believe that is the encryption that they use. More was accessible waaaaaaaay back in the day.
