I agree, renown should be more "invisible".
Upgrades for Uboats should be fitted for "free" as time goes on. New equipment should be awarded on request only to successful Kaleuns and ultra important upgrades (such as the Type XXI) should be secret at first and only be given to veeeery successful ones, as special favours from Doenitz himself. It would be nice to have more upgrades, even just for the sake of customization. Better air filters, tables for the interior, better beds, bigger pots for soup, a fridge, rat-proof cabinets and so on.
Torpedo loadouts should be approved by BdU, depending on availability (not shown) and your renown (again, not shown).
The crew should normally request transfers to other uboats as they increase rank. Maybe renown should count as a "loyalty" bar, so that your favorite chef doesn't start requesting transfers. I mean, would you ask for a promotion and transfer to some new uboat with a green captain? Or stay for a few more patrols with Gunther Prien? Thought so...
