Aircraft is becoming very popular with the allies.

I thought the range would be very helpful for patrolling off Freetown and down in the E series grids but getting a boat with this range means extended patrols in areas with little shipping and usually getting your maiden's head nailed to your coat tails by all and sundry. I've since transfered to Bergen (now 11.43) and am saving renown for a Typ XXI - if I live that long!

Stick with the IXB, most successful U-Boat of the war. ;)

Each ship/aircraft has a different renown value and that is multiplied by the realism factoir you set yourself eg a ship at 1000 renown

realism at 100% = 1000 renown
realism at 50% = 500 renown.

I got 997 Renown :cool:
