Well, one thing you could try is editing basic.cfg with Notepad. There is a value for Allied ships, which should currently be 1. If you change this 1 to for example 10000 you should get so much renown from the next ship you sink that it should be enough for all time.

You could also edit your save game files and change your current renown there. I don't remember which file you need to change and am not currently at my home computer.

The third way is to edit the files that give values for equipment. I changed acoustic and FAT and LUT torpedo values to zero, so I could get the loadout BdU stated in his orders for 1943 and 1944. Again I can't right now give you a hint where to find those files, but the file names for IX type submarines begin with "IX", IIRC.

Come to think of it I think I'll change my allied ship value from 1 to something like 1.3 because I like to sail with a type VII with a third less torpedoes than a type IX and can't possibly sink as many ships as I could with a type IX. I've never ever been promoted Kapitänleutnant although I've sink more tonnage than Kretschmer did (that was when I used automatic targeting - now I seldom get many ships sunk) and I think the game engine does not compensate for me patrolling in a less potent boat than a IX.

I think I should get more renown killing Goliath with a slingshot than killing him with a Predator drone.

Anyways, back to your problems. I hope someone points you to the right files and if not, I'll try to look the right files up when I get the time and my own computer.
