Ducimus,
"RenownValuesUS=-200,-100,100,600,1300,2000"

This is what I have done for some time now, changing the 600 to 300 since the refit issue seems to be a problem, and although it helps, it is not a "silver bullet" even at 300.

I get offers for new boats more often, but the refits are still ellusive. And since I have been playing more of the Asiatic Fleet campaigns as I burned out on Pearl, if I accept a new boat, that is where you go and stay until operations for the newer boats open up in Brisbane and Fremantle.

What I am wondering though, is why I get offerred a Gato boat all the time when I'm on a Sargo or Salmon boat, without being offerred a Gar or Tambor boat first. If memory serves, the original SH game, yeah the old DOS game, would offer you a Gar, or Tambor class boat before getting a Gato.

I can see going from a Gato to a Balao since the designs evoled that way. Just wish they would offer the Gar and or Tambor boats if applicable to the Asiatic Fleet so you aren't transfered to Pearl every time, unless you want to risk using the older boats with increasing ASW by the enemy.
Yeah the Gar and Tambor don't go any deeper than the Sargo and Salmon boats, but te 2 extra bow tubes give you more firepower.
