Ok clear on the renown, just double checking. TY

Not sure what type of U boat I selected for the 1st flotilia, probably whatever you start out in. So if that is the case then you can never get a deck gun, correct?

Ship sinking times: So if I hang around for 1-2 days, that ship could still sink and hence I would get my renown, which seems like gold to me right now. lol And how does storm damage play into this scenario?

Using GWX and Commander, any tips on sinking a zig zagging ship.
You can give medals to whomever you wish in CMDR; it would appear prudent to award them to the most valuable crew members first. As in real life, you as the commander, pick out those who did the most to ensure a successful patrol.
Ships sink when they are good and ready to do so. Yes, they will sink faster in bad weather and heavy seas.
To hit a zig zagging ship: the closer, the better. Plan to fire just as the vessel starts to turn towards your sub. Use the fastest setting possible on your torpedo.
Hope it is not a dud.
