Post patrol rating

[Goose_green]

It's something that I have noticed lately and I wonder if someone could help explain to me about the post patrol rating for the USN campaign.

The game mentions (and I cannot remember where) that after each patrol you must obtain a "Good" rating for the completed patrol to help you gain promotion later on, yet there is zero feedback about your patrol rating, you just get confirmation of your tonnage and a medal. I have completed my fourth patrol and I have been promoted to Commander, yet there is very little more than that. I have tried checking in the patrol report too and all that is listed is your sinkings by date.

I was looking into the config files and I noticed a line in the career track.cfg file and I noticed a rating gained line which has given me a score of 3. Anyone know what the high and lows are?

Here is the section I am referring to (highlighted in bold), it's pretty much the last entry in the file;

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusSave 73]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_PatrolEnd
NameDisplayable=USS Halibut (SS-232)

Just for fun try a 'bad' patrol and see what happens in contrast :|\\

:hmm: ....RatingGained=3.000000...for me too...

Looks like it might not be much of a "contest" if eveyone has a "3.00000" rating Gain regardless of mission sucess...;) :D


Even my "worst" missions are kinda spectacular...:shifty: ;)

That is generated after each patrol, and I was doing some testing and sank two small boats outside port and docked:
tonnage=3600
RatingGained=0.0000

Then went on the mission:

Tonnage=77340
RatingGained=3.000000

But I don't know where the total rating would be, this number appears to be how much is added from that mission.

Thanks for the feedback regarding the ratings :) It will be interesting to see what the ratings are for higher tonnage hauls ;)

I'm still unsure why the game mentions the "Good" rating in the promotions screen (Captain's photo?) and not even bothers to mention it again after every patrol. It seems it may well be something else the devs didn't finish in time :roll:
