i also agree with you in this post - plus - no high TC's in and around coast lines and known shipping lanes.

...Not so long ago... i had a very good career. a very good crew and a very good tonnage. i was so eeeeager/impatient to get back to W/haven to collect renown and all the goodies on one particular patrol i high TC'd it back to close in land and struck a schnell boot - all hands gone. i was mortified. it was late at night and i had sailed this patrol all day - ALL DAY! i had punctured a convoy sunk a couple of Black Swans and was feeling mighty pleased. (i had back pain and was sweating during the last attack.)

i still have the saved career but feel it would not be 'immersion' to resurect those good men.
I suppose the balance your after is the decision around receiving the renown you've earned as opposed to the unrealistic ability to turn the clock back to your previous save point.

I'd let the renown go and put it down to the learning curve but in future you may want to hit the Esc key when in sight of land and ensure your renown is safe/banked.

You do realise the renown for returning to base has never worked, neither in stock or GWX?
