No renown or tonnage question

[ddot]

Hello submariners!

I'm a lurker thats been playing SH3 for a couple weeks now. I'm running 1.4b and GWX 1.02

Last night I returned my VIIB to my home port (new career, 1st patrol) after a successful patrol of my assigned grid. I sank 1 tanker and 5 merchant ships for a total of just over 38k tons. All ships were British, and left the red icon when they were sunk.

I thought I would be justly rewarded, with heaps of medals for my crew and renown for myself. But I got nothing:cry: Zero renown, zero tonnage in the patrol log, not a single medal for my crew.

Can anyone offer insight? 2 of the merchant ships were cargo/passenger. Did I kill a load of civilians and am being punished? They looked like such nice easy targets:)

what month and year did you start in??? if it was the earliest possible date then you need to wait for a radio message saying that we are now at war with Britain or summat like that. i could be wrong though

I started at the earliest possible date. I sunk my first merchant up by Scapa, and I *think* it was after the message about commencment of hostilities, but I'm not sure. In any case I had Ansons trying to drop bombs on me at various times before the majority of those kills, so I figure the war had started by then:)

well its the only explanation i can think of tbh. since its your first patrol try starting again you may as well as you didnt get any renown or medals and check for that message again.
