Under the Awards page in the Medals tab, there is the 'Awards you are about to unlock' tool that I find very helpful and enjoy checking from time to time.
The formula for calculating the percent to the next medal is deceptive though. Things that may take a long time to achieve (i.e. age, level, rank) become 'weighted' as you progress into the game.
To better see my point see table below.
This chart assumes the current displayed percent is calculated by
and proposes a better calculation would use ((CV-PM)/(AM-PM))*100.
As you can see, since the tool presents in decreasing order, the order of presented medals would completely change, possible showing objectives never shown.
I believe it would be better as it would better forecast the more attainable medals one has yet to achieve.
If any one sees a flaw with this suggestion, please point out! Thanks for your consideration.
I know I'd be super stoked if this minor improvement was adopted!
