The purple heart medal is awarded if you successfully return to base while wounded, regardless of how the plane became wounded. It seems a bit dubious to award it as a result of arguably your own clumsiness, but also sets up a rather perverse incentive where you get rewarded for deliberately damaging your own plane through eg. flying through the ox at the end of the runway. I think we should probably limit it to actual combat damage
