But here's what I based my reply on.....

On my first patrol in GWX I bagged The HMS Rodney, 3 Flower Corvettes and a Large Merchant. Total Renoun for that patrol was 1558.90 giving me a total of 2358.90. I started out with only 800 after getting the officers and crew I wanted from the 1500 original Renoun. I then docked with the Bessel at Vigo Spain for resupply and found when I restarted I was promoted from Lt. Jr to Lt. Sr. A far cry from accululating 5000 in Renoun. So if there's a bug, it seems renoun has no bearing on promotions. I've even seen the same in Vanilla SHIII as I received the Knights Cross with Diamonds and Swords on my 7th patrol. That's the reason I said what I did above.

Yep I know what you mean, and I do agree with you. The renown system is a bit strange if you ask me. In any case you do get some renown from the naval accademy (as stated in previous posts) and you have 500 in the bank as you're starting the game. Also don't forget that SH3Cmd is also affecting the promotions. For example I was Lieutenant (Junior Grade) which is Oberleutnant z. S in the german ranking system. To reach this grade you need 15000 renown. I had 16000 and I got promoted. Afterwards I used my renown and I was left with 6000. I did a mission where I sunk 40000 GWT and I got promoted again!!!!! I shouldn't because the next promotion comes at 25000 renown (that obviously I don't have). The fun though starts now with SH3Cmd. In my personel file I am Kapitänleutnant (as I got promoted) but SH3Cmd sees me as Oberleutnant z. S. In other words go figure:hmm:

How does one change their rank?

I've got over 30,000 renown and I am still a kapitanleutnant.
