0003425: Flag to prevent Rail attacks from triggering "Impressive" medal
When you connect a couple rail shots in a row, you get the impressive medal, which is perfectly fine.

However, when you have a weapon that fires rails constantly (a laser gun, or in QCDE, a lightning gun), you'll get a flood of "IMPRESSIVE" medals+announcer spam.

Could a flag be added perhaps in the rail function or even in the weapon to not treat the attacks as "hard to hit rails"? Something like "+DONTAWARDIMPRESSIVE" or something like that.

We use rail attacks because we need to spawn an instantaneous in-world trail/beam so that other players can see the lightning shaft.
Here's an example of how it looks/sounds whith all these medals :P

Is there already something like that for Accuracy medals? I have some flamethrowers that award tons of Accuracy medals for hitting the target.

At the moment, there is no way to specifically prevent the impressive or the accuracy medals.

This can be close now since gameevent_medals will be in 3.2
